Hamasaki Ayumi sets new Oricon record with 4 albums in the top 10
J-pop superstar Hamasaki Ayumi has set a new record by landing 4 albums in the top 10 of this week’s Oricon Weekly Charts!
The 4 remix albums (“ayu-mi-x 7 presents ayu-ro mix 4“, “ayu-mi-x 7 -version Acoustic Orchestra“, “ayu-mi-x 7 presents ayu trance 4“, and “ayu-mi-x 7 version HOUSE-“) were all released on April 20th and took the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th spots on this week’s Oricon Weekly Album Ranking.
The previous record for having the most simultaneous albums in the top 10 was held jointly by TMN, L’Arc~en~Ciel, and Hamasaki herself, with 3 albums each. Hamasaki also set a record in the Oricon Music DVD Ranking this week, by being the first female artist to take the 1st and 2nd position at the same time.
The singer commented, “I feel very honored to be able to update another record like this. This is all thanks to the support of fans. The remixes this time is one or two flavors different from the original, so I will be happy if more people can enjoy them. Also, the DVDs were sort of like a compilation of all the lives I’ve had, so I hope people can enjoy listening to and watching them both.”
