AKB48 and Arashi（嵐）took every slot in the top-10 best-selling singles software ranking list of 2010, entertainment information provider Oricon Co. said.
AKB48 had four titles in the top 10, including the CD “Beginner,” which came out on top with 950,000 copies sold, while Arashi took the remaining six places.
Arashi had combined sales of almost ¥17.2 billion, an increase of ¥2.5 billion from last year’s total. They are the first Johnny’s act to top the rankings in two consecutive years, and the first artist to do so since Inoue Yosui (井上陽水),62, did it in 1974-75. Arashi also ranked top in a record seven different categories.
