The record was previously held by Kazumasa Oda's "Kokoro" (こころ Heart?) which was released in 2007.[4] Korean pop boy band TVXQ's "Share the World/We Are!" debut at number-one on the charts, making them first foreign artist to have six number one singles in Japan.[5]

Rock boy band KAT-TUN's "Rescue" makes them the third group to ten consecutive number one singles since their debut.[6] KinKi Kids' "Yakusoku" (約束 Promise?) extended their record for having the most consecutive number one singles since their debut.[7] They also extended their Oricon record for having a number one single for 13 consecutive years since their debut.[8] Pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki's "Rule/Sparkle" makes her the only solo female artist and the first female artist to have 20 consecutive singles to debut at number one.[9] R&B singer Namie Amuro's Wild/Dr. debuted atop of the charts and made her the only female artist to have a top ten single each year for 15 years.[10] "Milk/Nageki no Kiss" (milk/嘆きのキス Milk/Grief's Kiss?) is Aiko's first number one single in her 11-year career.[11]

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. This feat was last achieved by Keisuke Kuwata in 2001.[13]
