Morning Musume is NO longer the Top-Selling Girl Group in Single Sales


Yup, you heard it right, Morning Musume has held the record as the Top-selling girl group in single sales for so long, having a total of 11,774,000 sold copies with 56 singles and a history of thirteen years and eleven months since their debut. But with the latest results of the Oricon weekly charts, it was conformed that they no longer hold that record.


Idol Group, AKB48 has overtaken the spot with a total of 11,787,000 sold copies with 25 singles for 5 years and 11 months since their debut. So Congrats to AKB48.

I actually wasn't so surprised with this, I kind of expected that sooner or later AKB48 would surpass MM's sales due to their staggering sales of more then 7Million just this 2011. Record are meant to be broken anyway, even Avatar broke Titanic's record right?? but it didn't make Titanic any less special or amazing, it's was still one of the Best Movies ever! So just like in Morning Musume's case, even if they no longer hold that record, if you're a true fan, you would still appreciate and see how amazing they are. (P.S. 13 years of existence is no joke at all! ). The gap between their sales is not that big so I hope they could get back to their feet, stand up and regain that title back. Just enjoy the music of both groups =)

Wait, what about Love Machine? I hope they could still keep that record *crosses fingers*, but let's be happy that atleast Morning Musume is a true legendary group being part of the Top 10 Best Selling Artists of All Times not only in Japan but in the whole world, where they ranked 8th.
(8th in the whole wide world!!!!!)
