Dance and vocal group, Sandaime J Soul Brothers has achieved their first no.1 spot since their debut in November last year with the 4th single, "FIGHTERS." Previously, their first 3 singles and debut album have not achieved a position higher than 3rd place. Including the first generation of J Soul Brothers (before leader HIRO changed the name to EXILE) and also Nidaime J Soul Brothers, this is the first time for J Soul Brothers to reach number one. The single's A-side is the theme song to the midnight NTV drama, "Rokudenashi BLUES" which stars Gekidan EXILE members, Omasa Aya, AKB48's Kitahara Rie, as well as EXILE's MATSU and KENCHI. The song was performed during their EXILE TRIBE tour which wrapped up on August 7th.
Meanwhile, Hamasaki Ayumi topped the albums chart for the second week in a row with "FIVE." The last time she achieved this was 5 years and 8 months ago with her full album, "(miss)understood".
Posting the top 30 albums/singles and the top 10 music-DVDs. The second column in the top 10 refers to sales in 2011. New release in bold.

Congrats to JSB, they earn this. Still disappointed that Dots didn't get no.1 though, he doesn't have fan events to his advantage like JSB. But still, good numbers for JSB! :)
