Considering the box office success of the "Hana Yori Dango Final" movie and the popularity of boy band Arashi, it isn't surprising that "One Love" topped the singles chart this past week with 314,000 in sales. It easily outperformed Shuchishin's second single "Nakanaide," which also did very well at 212,000 copies.

Porno Graffiti came in at #3, followed by Yuzu and seiyu Megumi Nakajima (under the name of Ranka Lee, her character in "Macross Frontier"). DREAMS COME TRUE entered the charts at #6, while Chatmonchy achieved #8 and misono made the cut at #10.

Meanwhile, the albums chart saw some big sellers over the week, with GReeeeN taking top honors as their sophomore album "A, Domo. Ohisashiburi Desu." sold 377,000 copies. Not too far behind was Ayaka's own second album, "Sing to the Sky," selling 315,000. Ketsumeishi also found success with 262,000 copies sold of "Ketsu no Police 6."

"COVERS," the first album released by the newest enka sensation Jero, ranked #5 with a more modest 42,000 in sales. This ties him for the highest chart position by an enka group's debut album, as Kanjani8 is considered part of the enka genre.
