    Well dont underestimate the power of HS event and AX together....
    And then the idea of UG and TG.....
    Most fans buy this CD for AX voting....and they buy 30 or even more copies at once....

    not ALL MoMusu fans are AKB fans so i guess, yes they will still have money to buy MoMusu's

    I'm pretty sure this refers to a girl group, not all artists. [hehe]

    you're talking like the only ones who are buying AKB48 and Momusu's singles are limited quantity of wotas, which love both groups (which actually is kinda impossible as wotas are fanatic).

    I prefer the idea of 'normal' people buying the singles because they are awesome.
    It's probably not the case with River though.

    Don't blame me if I sounds like attacking AKB48, I just tired with this stupid debate of MM VS AKB48 (I'm saying this not only because of this post).
    Stop comparing.

    And btw I think Kimagure >>> River > KnKgSD > Hikkouki,
    even though I LOVE Oku SFM.

    Sorry for being hot-headed.

    the number of sales will be the proof who's the best.
    okay, this is the 3rd day.
    i always exciting to read the total of sales everyday.
    AKB48 sure is at the top right now [rock] , it'll be hard to take them down ~ even for Johnny's.
    Kinki Kids last single sold 171,000 copies in the 1st week (total sales = 210,050).
    Maybe AKB48 can beat them in week 2... [cool]

    also i dont wanna fight about MoMusu and AKB who is the st thing, im sick of it i already have my favorite group
    and i dont wanna waste my time arguing about that, as i said im happy that AKB is selling well, but you never know

    ^to me it doesn't. I love RIVER, its something completely new from AKB and its highly addicting. all 3 songs on the single are amazing :D

    the sales amounts are just so nice and refreshing to see such high numbers where idol music has been in a decline for many years. and it seems to be getting some momentum lately with AKB.

    3rd day Sale: 14,259 copies
    3rd day position: #1
    Total Sales so far: 156,103 copies

    87,795 -> 54,049 -> 14,259

    Quite a drop on 3rd day....but still holds #1 spot with a big gap between #2 spot...
    (#2 is Hirai Ken by the way....with 4,344 copies)
    Hmm.....I was expecting like 20k ~ 30k for 3rd day...but this is still good.
    Looks like 200k is hard to do for the first week sales....but still plausible for Total sales...
