We’re back with a new Oricon Weekly roundup.
This article covers the 4th week of August – which includes singles and albums released between 24/08/2020 and 30/08/2020.

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.
