Season one averaged just under 5,000 discs per release. It was obviously enough to rationalize having a second season. I can't find figures for those sales though.

The original telecast of the first season was not even carried on a major television network but a conglomerate of independent stations. (See the Wikipedia entry for the list.) In Tokyo it was shown on a UHF station that reached only a portion of the metropolitan area. After the first season ended the show was rebroadcasted by, I believe, Tokyo MX and carried to a wider audience.

Of course, the real criterion for measuring the success of AKB0048 was whether it generated revenues for the actual group. Anecdotal evidence suggested that it did.
