Tokyograph News · 03-25-2009, 07:39 AM

Namie Amuro's latest single, "WILD / Dr.," came in at #1 on the charts this week with 75,000 in sales. With this, she has released a top ten single for 15 years in a row, which keeps her in possession of the record among female artists.

Hello! Project's Erina Mano also made the top ten, reaching #5 with her solo debut. The bottom half of the top ten saw a few more new releases: the "Samurai Sentai Shinkenger" theme song, KREVA's latest single, and the second CD from AKB48 trio No Sleeves.

On the albums chart, Dreams Come True took the #1 spot by selling 231,000 copies of "DO YOU DREAMS COME TRUE?" This is their 12th chart-topping album, which puts them past ZARD for the record among groups with a female vocalist. Dreams Come True already holds two other records in that category: most copies of albums sold (27.7 million) and most million-selling albums (10).

BoA's "BEST & USA" entered the charts at #2, while HYDE's best album ranked #4. Unicorn, Kazuya Yoshii, and the Judy and Mary tribute album also made the top ten list.
