It’s that time of the year again. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the top 100, it’s pretty self-explanatory. The top 100 consists of the top 100 best selling singles in Japan, courtesy of Oricon. The list was actually released last week, which was a lot earlier than I thought. This review isn’t really going to be a review as most of these songs are known already. I will just be sharing my thoughts on it =D and have clips of the top 10. So I’ll shut up now and you can look at this years top 100 singles of 2008.
EDIT: Added the number of copies the top 10 sold, too lazy to add the rest XD. Source
