Will “Beginner” be the first million single for this year?

Japan’s top idol group AKB48 has achieved a new personal record, as it was revealed that their 18th single “Beginner” has shipped out over 1 million copies before its release date – thus making “Beginner” their most successful selling single to date.

According to Oricon, if their sales match the pre-release figures, “Beginner” would then reach an illustrious status on par with Utada Hikaru’s ”Addicted to you” (1999). A representative from Tower Records‘ also revealed that the number of pre-release orders has reached almost as much as that of the top Johnny’s Entertainment’s groups.

If the pre-release numbers transfers to the actual sales, it will be a big achievement for AKB48, particularly because the music industry seems to struggling in selling CDs.











AKB48 has just released their 18th single “Beginner” on October 27th, and the video of its original PV, which has been released throughout only on Recochoku, has been released.
