Oricon Single Ranking for the first half of 2015

Oricon recently announced the results of the singles ranking for the first half of the year. This has been the fifth year in a row that mega-idol group, AKB48 has dominated the no. 1 and no. 2 spot for the best selling single of the year. In fact, this is a historical first in the industry! It’s also been 11 years since a group last had consecutive million sellers for the first half of the year. The previous acts to achieve this includes Mr.Children (’93 ~ ’96) and B’z (’94 ~ ’97). Those groups have only accomplished this four times in a row, while AKB48 has now done this 5 times in a row.
