first day on Oricon @ #19
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2014-02-25/more/3/

Baby Metal 1st album : #2, 20,609

#3 sold 18,224

Baby Metal outselling some H!P albums already. unacceptable for H!P.

There's very little reason for fans to buy this album.

Buying a 3000yen CD full of songs they already own for just two new tracks and a clearfile?
Not very appealing.

Comparing sales of compilation albums to original albums isn't really fair.

Plus H!P never promotes their albums so... it's to be expected?

I feel like people (in general, not the above srsl) need to stop making excuses for Berryz, this was going to sell poorly. We all knew it.
There was not much to look forward to this release at all.

but even then rank 19 is still pretty bad for first day.

It's a Best of album, and atleast 95% is made up of songs people already bought. It only has two new songs. H!P albums really don't sell all that high, anyways.

It is, but I dunno I'm not surprised.

Their 1st best album did reasonably well, but that had all the early songs on it that were interesting for other H!P fans to buy.

The songs on this album are more for the BK fans only. It's logical that it doesn't sell that much.

On the other hand, it's possible that in actual numbers the sales are much better then the rank suggests. There's only one release above that wasn't a new release. If it sold 3,000~4,000 copies it could still easily pass their last full album 1st week sales. We'll just have to wait and see what it will do in the next couple of days, and then be surprised at the weekly result.

What made think thing releasing a best album literally a week after their new single a good idea?
