KARA has once again reached the #1 spot on the Oricon Chart. According to Japan's Oricon Daily Singles Chart for April 7th, KARA's third single, "Jet Coaster Love", sold a whopping 28,643 copies on the second day of it's release - bringing it up to 1st place. allkpop reported earlier that on it's release day on April 6th, KARA instantly appeared on the chart at the #2 position. It was revealed that on the 6th, "Jet Coaster Love" sold 47,810 copies, but an 'armed ambush' by SDN48 - who ended up selling about 2,000 more copies - was the reason why KARA placed 2nd instead of 1st. However, on the 7th, KARA reached the #1 position, clearly showing their popularity in Japan. The #2 rank for April 7th went to Tsuyoshi Domoto (22,568 copies) and SDN48 fell from 1st all the way down to 6th. KARA has already occupied the #1 spot several times on the Oricon daily charts including their first album, "Girl's Story", which has sold over 400,000 copies to date. They have also ranked #1 on the weekly DVD charts for their music video collection, "KARA BEST CLIP". Furthermore, unless there is an upset brewing, KARA is placed in position to claim the #1 spot on the officially recognized Oricon Weekly Singles Chart. Because of the earthquake, the group was unable to have a proper promotional cycle, and the release date of the single was delayed from March 14th back to April 6th. The fact that KARA has been so successful, despite all of the circumstances, is somewhat astounding. KARA's #1 ranking in both the single and album categories is a great feat. The only other Korean artists who have been able to receive this high honor are BoA and TVXQ. Also, this is the first record from the current Hallyu girl group frenzy lineup. Source: Newsen via Nate
