We’re back with a new Oricon Weekly roundup.
This article covers the 3rd week of August – which includes singles and albums released between 17/08/2020 and 23/08/2020.
A note that, this week, there were no albums by male seiyuu, bands or 2D idol projects on Oricon’s Top 50. With that being said, this week this article will not feature the “Oricon Weekly Album Ranking” section.
Let’s take a look at the data.
Oricon Weekly Album Ranking

NEW ENTRY: Hiro Shimono “WE GO!”
Hiro Shimono‘s 2nd full-length album, WE GO! was extremely well received by his fans.

Oricon Weekly Single Ranking
#30
NEW ENTRY: Tasuku Hatanaka “HISTORY”
Tasuku Hatanaka‘s 4th single, HISTORY got a lukewarm reception, managing to sell only 1,399 copies, which puts the release at #30.
If there aren’t sales figures on the prints we’ve posted, it’s because the music label behind that artist doesn’t want to disclose that information.
It happens often with the Daily rankings. The Oricon charts depicted here only count physical copies. Digital figures are featured on a different chart.
