Linkin Park have sold amazingly more than 10k copies of "A Thousand Suns" by now. One of my co-worker said to me that maybe their Japanese record label (Warner Music Japan) might not be happy with the outcome as their target might be higher than 10k considering the grade of the band's success around the world including Japan. It's still great to me though.

Looking at the entries out of top 10, Belle & Sebastian's new album "Write About Love", that was at #15 for its first week, is now at #13. Antony & The Johnsons' "Swanlights" follows it at #16. I didn't expect that the album would reach that high spot in the chart considering their popularity and recent tendencies of the chart. However, they made it, which was great.
