Arashi have sold almost twice as many music DVDs as any other music artist in Japan over their career, reports Oricon .
Figures released by Oricon’s weekly charts have revealed Arashi’s latest music DVD “ARASHI 10-11 TOUR “Scene” ~君と僕の見ている風景 (Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fukei)~ STADIUM” had sold 59,000 copies in its second week of sales. Adding this number to the DVD’s first week sales of 618,000 and their previous 10 DVD sales, the total had surpassed four million copies. It is the first time an artist’s music DVD sales have hit four million over their career in Japan.
Arashi had taken over the number one spot for overall music DVD sales in 2010 after their last DVD “ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 X 10″ passed the record set by girl’s band Morning Musume.
The top three artist records are now:
1. Arashi – 4.01 million
2. Morning Musume – 2.29 million
3. Ayumi Hamasaki – 2.23 million
