KARA sets another record for foreign female artists in Japan!

KARA連創各种紀錄，最終登上日本ORICON排行榜榜首。KARA本月6日在日本發行的第三張單曲專輯「雲霄飛車愛情」，在11日公布的ORICON單曲專輯排行榜中名列榜首。《Jet Coaster Love》銷售第一周銷量就達12.3萬張。

KARA的經紀公司DSP傳媒12日表示：“KARA首次登上ORICON周排行榜榜首，具有三重意義。”首先，海外女子組合單曲專輯在發行第一周登上ORICON排行榜榜首，是ORICON自1968年1月設立單曲專輯排行榜43年以來的第一次。其次，海外女子組合登上周排行榜榜首，是自英國組合The Nolans之後，30年來的第一次。1980年11月17日，英國女子組合The Nolans以《Dancing Sister》登上ORICON排行榜榜首。但當時，The Nolans單曲專輯已銷售16周。

第三，KARA是第一個登上ORICON周單曲排行榜榜首的南韓女子組合。在南韓女歌手中，是自2005年4月11日寶兒登上ORICON周單曲排行榜榜首之後，6年來的第一次。KARA因與經紀公司之間的糾紛，在韓國的活動尚處於中斷狀態。


Since their debut in Japan last August, KARA’s latest single “Jet Coaster Love” has proven to be the most popular as the single has given them their best sales, selling 123,000 copies in it’s first week. The high sales volume has also put KARA at the number one spot on Oricon’s 4/18 Weekly Single Ranking.

This is the first time a foreign female group has had a number one ranking in it’s first week of release since the creation of the Oricon Single Ranking back in January 1968, so it has been 43 years and 4 months!

“Jet Coaster Love” has sold twice the amount of their previous single “Jumping”, which was released during their break-up crisis turmoil last November, selling 55,000 copies in its first week.
KARA was selected as the number one newcomer this year and “Jet Coaster Love” is their first number one in both the weekly single and album rankings. Their first single “Mister” and second single “Jumping” both ranked at #5, while their albums “KARA BEST 2007-2010” and “Girl’s Talk” both ranked #2.

The last time a foreign female artist has placed #1 on the weekly singles ranking was 6 years ago when BoA’s “DO THE MOTION” reached #1 on the 4/11 2005 ranking. The last time a foreign female group placed number one, was The Nolans’s “Dancing Sister” single on the 11/17 1980 weekly ranking, which became number one in its 16th week; it’s been 30 years and 5 months.

KARA also left a comment, “Thanks to all of you, “Jet Coaster Love” has become #1. As KARA, we will continue to do our best to cheer everyone up in the future. And, we hope that everything can be restored even just one day sooner”.

“Jet Coaster Love” is KARA’s first single of 2011. It was originally supposed to be released on March 23rd, but was postponed due to the Great Tohoku Earthquake. In order to help out the area affected by the disaster, KARA has decided to donate all proceeds from this single (CD and digitally) to relief efforts.
