According to Oricon, Splatune 3 ranked #43 in the weekly album ranking with barely 938 units sold, which brings total sales to 8 509 units. That’s quite the steep drop from launch week (#8 with 7 571 units sold). Unfortunately, the album did not benefit from the Golden Week in any way.
May 5th
According to Oricon, Splatune 3 ranked #10 in the weekly combined ranking (that includes digital sales and streaming). That’s lower than the physical-only chart (#8), but that’s because the album is only available in physical format (it’s not available as digital download or via streaming platforms).
Unfortunately, the album dropped out of the Daily Album ranking.
