AKB48: “Beginner” Passes 1 Million In Actual Sales

AKB48: “Beginner” Passes 1 Million In Actual Sales.

Earlier when “Beginner” was released I wrote about the record sales shipment of 1,030,000 giving the single a million certification by RIAJ [Note-Certification is based on store order numbers shipped, not on actual numbers sold. It`s the same with international certification]

“Beginner” has now officially crossed over one million in actual sales with 1,001,000 copies sold. By crossing, this sales mark “Beginner” now becomes the 243rd single in the history of all music genres here to reach one million in actual sales.

The last female group to have a single crossed over one million in actual sales was Morning Musume’s “Koi no Dance Site” in February 2000. That  single would later pass  1,236,000 in  sales.
