As if the news that Perfume reached #1 on the Oricon Weekly Charts with their latest album JPN wasn’t enough, the girls continued to lead the way in a new era for female groups.
By having their best weekly sales ever at a remarkable 226,858 copies sold, they not only claimed their third #1 album to go alongside 2008′s Game and 2009′s Triangle, but became the first female group since SPEED in 1999, and the second ever, to reach #1 three consecutive albums.
It goes without saying they’re doing things few female groups ever have the opportunity to do and continue to push forward boundaries on the Japanese music industry. Enough congratulations for this accomplishment can’t be given, so congratulations to Perfume for reaching #1!
