Just to fill in the rest of the week -

Day 3 @ #19 (3rd sold 3,583)
Day 4 @ #16 (3rd sold 2,499)
Day 5 @ #24 (3rd sold 2,185)
Day 6 @ #?? (3rd sold 4,178) ***Not in the top 30, and I can't see beyond that without a sub***

The album fell out of the top 50 on Oricon for the sixth day.

The album didn't make the weekly top 5 on Billboard Japan sales chart

I don't know if I should be surprised about the numbers for this or not. A Country Girls album would've been nice for fans but if this can't even crack the top 10 for just one day, with what is essentially a Country Girls album attached to it, I understand why we never got one.

It was more of a "thank you" gift from Momochi than a proper album. If they actually cared about sales, they would have released the album weeks ago.

I just feel sad that CG fans that aren't Momochi oshi won't be getting an album anytime soon. But at the same time, I don't think H!P doesn't want to focus on albums since it isn't profitable to them.

I understand that it was a thanks for fans, in my mind that should have added more reason for people to go out and buy it, on top of everything else - but like I said, I don't know if I should be surprised or not. I don't have a very good gauge for how hardcore Momoko fans were or how plentiful they were, and I know it wasn't a very promoted release.
