Last week, NEWS had the #1 single with "SUMMER TIME," extending their streak of chart-topping singles to 9. This week, they were ousted by fellow Johnny's group KAT-TUN, who had their 7th consecutive #1 with "DON'T U EVER STOP." It sold close to 382,000 copies, giving it the biggest opening week of 2008 (previously set by KAT-TUN's "LIPS" in February).
Other entrants into the top 10 were Buono! at #4, Suga Shikao at #5, Ayaka at #6, and Kiyoharu at #9.
On the album charts, the self-titled debut album of Superfly (now a solo project) took the top spot with 123,000 copies sold. At #2 was actor Yutaka Mizutani with a self-cover collection titled "TIME CAPSULE," his first studio album in 22 years.
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi also made the charts (at #5), as did indie rock group The Band Apart (#7).
