We’re back with a new Oricon Weekly roundup.
This article covers the third week of January – which includes singles/albums released between 15/01/2018 and 21/01/2018. This week there’s no seiyuu/2.5D idol project featured in Album ranking.
Let’s take a look at the data.

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. The Oricon charts only count physical copies. Digital figures and ranks might be different.
