Beginner's total sales after the third day of its release, October 29, 2010, is 742,109 copies, surpassing Arashi's "Troublemaker" released March 3, 2010, which has sold almost 700,000 copies this year. Selling over 700,000 copies only on the third day of its release, fans are hoping for Beginner to hit the 1,000,000 mark before the year ends, or even within the first week of its release. AKB48 still has another single to be released this year, on Dec. 8, 2010, featuring the Senbatsus from the Janken Tournament. If Beginner doesn't hit the one million mark, it's possible that the next one will.

AKB48 is #1! Yeah!!!
