Oricon releases their 2010 yearly ranking for “Artist Total Sales”!

Oricon has stamped the end of 2010 with the release of their yearly ranking for “Artist Total Sales“.  The ranking is based on the gross total sales of CDs (both singles and albums), DVDs, and Blu-Ray Discs.

We’ve got the list of the ‘top 5′ artists with the highest record of sales down below!

 



1. Arashi – ￥17.163 billion/￥17,163,000,000 (approximately $204,321,424)

2. Tohoshinki - ￥9.431 billion/￥9,431,000,000 (approximately $112,273,808)

3. AKB48 – ￥7.092 billion/￥7,092,000,000 (approximately $84,408,472)

4. EXILE – ￥6.015 billion/￥6,015,000,000 (approximately $71,590,096)

5. Ikimonogakari – ￥5.618 billion/￥5,618,000,000 (approximately $66,865,032)

※None of the artists above have sales for Blu-Ray Discs

Those numbers are astounding, but they definitely provide solid statistics of the artists’ popularity!

omedetou!!!

Crazy. They must be one of the biggest contributors to the Japan economy, terms of idols.

That's not including the tourism effect. How people travel to Japan and contribute to tourism related industries just to attend cons, buy Japanese goods etc etc...And then, sales of idols good, con goods, con tickets..It's crazy.

Look at the gap between #1 and #2!
[info]freedz88 20th-Dec-2010 06:55 am (UTC)
Totally agree.

And yeah, the first thing i did was comparing #1 and #2 too! (since I'm not surprise its Arashi :P)
[info]tawsuna 20th-Dec-2010 02:17 am (UTC)

See you in 2011 ;)!!!!
