Usually vtuber songs hit the charts for one day and then drop off. Kiseki Knot is no exception. The one exception was Suisei's Ghost (solo artists only, digital download singles only, possibly other disclaimers I'm forgetting), which lasted a whopping two days. Suisei is going at it again, this time with two songs. However, Kenshi Yonezu is too strong and unlike Kiseki Knot, looks like Suisei has to bow down to BTS too.
Fifth and sixth isn't too bad, but if 2,355 downloads is enough to reach the third place, sales don't look all that good, especially since yesterday the same song amounted to 8,845 downloads and Butter was only seventh. Since we can't see the numbers below top three, it may be that BTS got a boost somewhere, but still, it looks like Kiseki Knot is mogging both of Suisei's singles pretty hard. Of course, it remains to be seen whether Suisei can last on the chart this time, but one would think her one million subscribers would flock to buy Comet now that it is finally commercially available in much greater numbers.
We may ponder what caused this. Ghost was somewhat expected and announced at the end of her fourth Youtube live, which drew in viewers compared to the suddenness of Bluerose reveal at the end of a karaoke collab which did draw in numbers, but quite a bit less. Maybe Suisei's JK fanbase prioritizes cute boys like Yonezu and BTS or maybe Comet was never liked all that much and people thought Bluerose boring? Kiseki Knot has twice the views in roughly the same time, although that's to be expected when the entire fourth gen is involved.
