They have sold nearly 500,000 copies of their singles and nearly 60,000 copies of their albums.
I know it’s not much in comparison to Idol Projects like Johnny’s and OOO48, But this is the Idol company that got me hooked on the whole Idol culture to begin with, and i’ll keep supporting them. Plus this post is all about them.

So the best song of 2010 is C-ute's Aitai Lonely Chistmas. something that i was expecting really. but what really got me was how many votes LilPir got for both their songs...and how many votes Seishun Collection got. I really didn't expect those songs to even gain a vote.
The votes can say one thing, but in terms of sales, C-ute's highest sales landed them in 6th place amoungst H!P. MM claimed the top 3 spots with all of their singles, while Berrys Koubou's Otakebi Boy came 4th and S/Mileage 5th with Bijin Mama. (I've been making a Database with all H!P singles and their sales figures and stuff...i know i'm really sad but at least i can say to an employer that i can set up and run a database, pratice makes perfect). Heres a break down of how the main groups/soloist faired this year
- Morning Musume - Sold over 130,000 copies of their singles, highest chat position was #3 for Seishun Collection
- C-ute - Sold nearly 100,000 copies of their singles, highest chart position was #5 for both Campus Life and Shock
- Berryz Koubou - Sold over 80,000 copies of their singles, highest chart position was #3 for Otakebi Boy WAO!
- S/Mileage - Sold nearly 80,000 copies of their major and indie singles, highes chart position was #5 for both Bijin Mama and Yume Miru 15sai
- Mano Erina, Sold over 40,000 copies of her singles, highest chart position was #7 for Genkinmono de Ikou!
