Pop boy band NEWS' "Koi no ABO" (恋のABO, Love's ABO) makes them the second group to have 11 consecutive number one singles since their debut.[12] Pop boy band Arashi's "Believe/Kumorinochi, Kaisei" and "Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon (Kimi wa Muteki)" are the first singles in seven years to sell over 500,000 copies consecutively with first week sales.
