AKB48's Kamikyoku Tachi is Highest Selling Album Globally in the Week of Its Release

AKB48's 2nd Compilation Album, Kamikyoku Tachi, is not just the highest selling album in the week of its release in Japan, but in all countries. Note that this counts only sales in that specific week. Not bad for an album that, except for two tracks, contains songs that have all been previously released in singles.
