KARA’s “Girl’s Talk” back on top of Oricon

Back in November, Korean girl group KARA released their first Japanese original album “Girl’s Talk”and the album was quite popular, topping the Oricon daily and weekly charts and selling over 107,000 copies in the first week.

Since then, the album received a platinum certification from RIAJ, and the album has sold over 300,000 copies to date. The last foreign female group to surpass 300,000 sales was Destiny’s Child with“#1’s” over 5 years ago in 2005.

Despite the recent turmoil with DSP over their contracts, the girls are still quite popular in Japan as earlier today the Oricon daily album chart revealed that KARA’s “Girl’s Talk” was back on top after being released nearly 12 weeks ago! The girls took first place by selling 2,249 units which is quite impressive after being released so long ago, congratulations to the girls.
