The latest release from J-pop group Greeeen has become their second consecutive million-selling album. Universal Music announced at the weekend that "Shio, Kosho" broke the one-million barrier just ten days after it went on sale earlier this month. That's a full week faster than it took DCT's "Do You Dreams Come True?" the year's only other album to reach that level in sales. Greeeen owe some of their success to the theme songs they provided for the popular TBS drama series "Rookies" ("Kiseki," included only on the first edition of the album) and its hit spinoff movie "Rookies - Sotsugyo" ("Haruka"). The group have applied to Guinness World Records to have "Kiseki" recognized as the world's best-selling digital download. To date, the single has been downloaded 5.9 million times.
