I checked wikipedia and whoever has edited the numbers there, is lost in the woods. The correct estimated sales for the past four days are 84,116 + 61,034 + 38,530 + 23,486 (x1.7) = 352,182. So they haven't even counted the points out for the first day, and the 4-day-figure is totally outrageous ;) Wikipedia shouldn't be relied too much since anyone can register and edit the figures. The fake-info is usually corrected when the weekly official is out though. I find it hard to beliebe Kingdom would have reached BC-numbers anyway (that album having massive success-singles, Kingdom doesn't), seeing how the figures of the first days were. And now it seems that maybe even the 390k-mark I predicted from the start for the weekend (450k for the 1st week) will be hard to reach if this issue is going to slow the sales down. Well, that will be clear next Tuesday when the real numbers are out. This far we only have the Oricon-points that I’ve counted out in the original post here.

About the same as Black Cherry, but, because of this, we may find it won't sell nearly as well as Black Cherry did staying at number 1 for four weeks straight...

The more concerning thing in regards of her career is the negative press she's getting for this now. The saying "no publicity is bad publicity" doesn't cover Japan, since there the image of the artist (or any celebrity) is 'A and O'. Well, the weekly sales will show what kind of an effect this has had. Kingdom has sold fairly well already. Koda deems to be taking about a month's hiatus. I guess the final outcome depends on how 'Kingdom' does on the charts.
