[Pinkosa]

YAY FOR DBSK! I was so excited when I saw them #64. So proud of you, boys 
and yay!! V6 got some singles there~  And also, i'm glad L'Arc is the #10 best seller of 2007

[SomethingWild]

Avril's album got 4?! I hated that album.. so did all my friends.

[Kuja]

Wow, I'm really happy for SID! Those two singles did really rock and deserve to be there.

[BradVickers]

Funny how 5 of the top 10 albums are "greatest hits".

[tenkei]

Funny how 5 of the top 10 albums are "greatest hits".

lol i noticed that too

[xerony]

some good albums and singles in that charts
I liked the album can't buy my love from Yui

[SomethingWild]

This year was all about Otsuka Ai for me. I'm still pretty new to Japanese artists, so I only 'discovered' Ai a couple of months ago.. I dig the new singles and I'm really liking all the older work too.. great artists in many ways.

TOP 10 INDIES SINGLES

10. Yanawaraba "Haikei marumaru-san"

Since I'm a Yanawaraba fan I rather like seeing their name crop up in a 'best sellers' list.  But the truth is that "Haikei marumaru-san" never got higher than 30 in the Oricon singles chart - which seems to indicate just how difficult it is for 'indie' singles (even the good ones) to get any attention.

its true, which is why they have their own chart

but I DONT WANNA DIE broke the top 10 on the oricon main chart for the week it was released, so did the hawaiian6 single, iirc

[Iamabowl]

Tokyo Jihen didn't get any of those? Wow... they released some awesome singles this year too.
