Popular idol group SKE48's 15th single "Bukiyou Taiyou", which was released on July 30 (the group's 6th anniversary), sold 324,000 copies during the first week and topped Oricon's weekly single ranking.
This marked the group's 11th consecutive chart-topping single since "Banzai Venus" (released in March 2011). They are the second best female group for the "number of consecutive chart-topping singles" record after AKB48 (with 23 consecutive singles).
"Bukiyou Taiyou" was the first single for the group after the results of the big team shuffle in February came into effect, and the most amount of Senbatsu members ever (20) participated in the title track.
