Big Bang Is Number 4

Big Bang My Heaven

No, Big Bang isn’t Number 1 within a day of their single release. However, they are number 4 on the charts which is still a great start to their Japanese promotions.

The boys rose to the 4th position on the Oricon chart with their single "My Heaven." With the group working with Universal Music Japan for the first time, it wouldn't be hard to imagine the group gaining the number 1 position within the month. If not, the group will have a second chance when they release their single "Gara Gara GO" on the 8th of July.

Big Bang has also announced plans to tour Japan this fall as part of their increased promotions in the country.

Lol~ Of course they got no 4 cuz they released their single on a day when no famous singers released singles. I wonder how much is the cd sales

they sold less than 5K i think. well, i look forward for the discussion here. XD i thought they can at least sell 10K. bigbang, really long way to go boys. i’m looking forward to all the hardships japan has in store for them. dude, it’s not easy… and for those saying bb > dbsk, remember to always keep your feet on the ground, bb has not achieved anything yet. after 4-5 years, we’ll get to know how hard it is. and that is if they make it big. goodluck!

what happen to all the vips? Since bb is consider a top group in korea, shouldnt they have a lot fans that support their work no matter what? and all those saying bb > dbsk, oh please bb went to japan after they suceeded in korea, dbsk went to japan when they were just a year or so in their career.

Number 4 is actually pretty good considering that this is their debut Japanese single. best of luck! GANBATTE!

 
orenji's avatar

congrat.. although the sales are quite low (it’s around 5k or lower), it will be increase with each release and endless promotion. Promotion is really important. You can’t just release, have two performance, and go back to Korea.

@24 This is BB’s SOPHOMORE year in JPop, right? I remember that they released a couple of mini-albums and one full length album last year (2008).

Hence, if comparisons has to be made with TVXQ’s foray into JPop, BB’s 2009 activities should be compared to TVXQ’s 2006 activities.  In 2006, the highest rank TVXQ got at Oricon Daily Chart was No.2 for ‘Miss You’ which sold around 23,000 copies. ‘Sky’ actually sold more at 27,000 copies but it only ranked at No.6.

You have to look at the number of units sold because the ranking never gives you a true picture.

I think the exact sell counts should be much bigger than 5k…think of those who ordering their CD outside Japan : esp in Korea where YG is selling them too.  Probably we just have to wait and see when it’s finally reported.  I dont really have HIGH expectation though….How much did THSK 1st singel sold ? Only about 10000 smth right? Bigbang still has long way to go.

@74 Yes it’s Bigbang 2nd year in JPOP but…..This is considered their FIRST JAPANESE SINGLE MAJOR DEBUT. ....Those albums in 2008 are just like ENGLISH ALBUMS though…..So this must be more significant for them hence they spent much more time on promotion in Japan.

thats pretty good.
wouldve been amazing if they went to #1 in the beginning but that kinda takes a lot of work and initially many ppl in japan didnt accept bigbang fast as they did wit tvxq

wow, VIP sure know how to start a war, by da way , to be fair it should be based on their 1st album back at 2008 because DBSK went there without no one even recognize them. As for BB, they already release an album before come to JAPAN to start a major work. I bet the sale of DBSK would be higher than 20k for their miss you single and sky if they do what BB did.

It’s amazing that only two weeks and they’ll be back with another single. I like “My Heaven” and congrats for getting the 4th place, but i’m looking forward to hear “Gara gara GO”, which by the name appears to be like some sugary Morning Musume song. let’s hope it’s not. \o/

isn’t Ryu si won sold more copies and ranked better than them? what’s so impressive about that?

 
~Loco_Roco~'s avatar

Note to the annoying fans: This is their first, official, physical, Japanese single, that isn’t full of random English songs. THEIR FIRST. Therefore, we should compare (though comparing is stupid) from here on…

 
azalea's avatar

that’s good news for a newcomer in Japan to be in Top 4 at the Oricon Chart. and they are in a big music agency Universal Music Japan so i know they will do well in Japan.
