Just as was expected, on the same day it was released, BURN -Fumetsu no Face- entered the charts in the pole-position. According to Oricon, BURN was sold 32,131 times one day before its official release. Not bad. It was sold 18,639 times on the release day itself. That makes it 50,770 CDs sold on its release.
