SaiMajo #5 on Billboard Hot 100 for First Half of 2016. Harujion #2!

Silent Majority has come in at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first half of 2016, behind only AKB48, Nogizaka46, and two songs by Arashi. This is heady company for a new group's first single.

In another triumph for the Sakamichi group, Harujion ga Saku Koro was #2. And 48/46 groups took six of the top 20 places.

The Billboard Hot 100 tries to estimate the total popularity of a song by combining figures from CD sales, downloads, radio plays, streaming, online searches, Twitter mentions, etc. The period covered was 2015.11.23 to 2016.05.29.


AKB48's Kimi wa Melody was far and away the #1 song, with Nogizaka46's Harujion ga Saku koro #2. Then came Arashi's I seek and Fukkatsu Love. Silent Majority at #5 came before songs by Hoshino Gen (Sun), Nishino Kana (Torisetsu), back number (Christmas Song), Urashima Tarou (Umi no Koe) and Exile (Ki・mi・ni・mu・chu) in the top ten. Numbers 11-20 included songs by One OK Rock, Kobukuro, SMAP, Perfume, and two more from the powerhouse AKB48.
