Excellent. I enjoy the hell out of both songs so nice seeing them earn the spots they deserve.

Should be mentioned that the new Naruto Shippuden OP is actually the top ranked anime OP, at #14.

not really surprised at both Linked Horizon's & Nana-san's/TM Revolution's successes.

true point, but those sales could be inflated by the huge fan-base of Nogizaka46, and by proxy AKB48.

No different from Valvraves music sales being heavily inflated by it being Nana Mizuki. People buy these music singles for the bands/acts more then the shows for the most part.

Obvious exception here being Linked horizon. As a long time fan of Revo's I'm glad to see this on here but also sad it took this long to really get recognized overseas. Honestly the song is the only half-decent part of AoT to me. Bland characters, predictable story spoiler[ especially how there was other people that could transform]and the genre switch early on to appeal to the shounen audience instead of the sci-fi.

Also worth nothing that a 3-song single for Linked Horizon's Attack on Titan OPs appeared on US iTunes last week.

It's also available on Amazon MP3 and Google Play (probably others also). Likewise for the Nana Mizuki/TM Revolution singles.

...good point, kind sir. Now I wonder why Nogizaka46 isn't listed...

Nice! Loved the heck out of both OPs for AoT (and the show).
