Idols win on the Chart Awards for the Billboard Japan Music Awards


Billboard has just announced the winners of Chart Awards for the Billboard Japan Music Awards. The actual Artist Awards won't be announced until the Billboard Japan Music Awards are held on February 6th. And since this is an idol blog, I will only be sharing the categories where idol groups have won an award.

1. Troublemaker - Arashi
2. Monster – Arashi
3. Heavy Rotation – AKB48
4. Love Rainbow – Arashi
5. Dear Snow – Arashi
6. Hatenai Sora – Arashi

9. To be free – Arashi
10. Hontou wa Kowai Ai to Romance – Kuwata Keisuke

Billboard JAPAN Hot 100 Singles Sales of the Year 2010:

1. Troublemaker - Arashi
2. Monster – Arashi
3. Love Rainbow – Arashi
4. Hatenai Sora – Arashi
5. Dear Snow – Arashi
6. To be free – Arashi
7. Heavy Rotation – AKB48
8. FANTAS” – EXILE
9. Love yourself~Kimiga Kirai na Kimi ga Suki~ – KAT-TUN
10. Beginner – AKB48



Arashi seems to dominate all the singles charts, as expected. Arashi is up there 13 times. Despite how well Begiiner, Heavy Rotation, and Ponytail to Shushu did AKB48 is only up there 3 times. Which honestly doesn't make sense to me. AKB48's Beginner outsold Troublemaker by almost 300k. I don't understand what Billboard is basing the sales off of.
I also can't believe Arashi didn't get to number 1 on the album charts.

The end the time for entry by a certain day to tabulate the results and such. Therefore, Beginner won't be included as part of an of 2010 charts. It might also mean sales after that date (for like Heavy Rotation) won't be included.

Ohh ok. Well that makes much more sense now. I couldn't understand why Beginner was so low. XD
