Chart performance

It debuted #1 in the Oricon daily chart and eventually became #1 in the Oricon weekly chart making the group the first foreign "female" artist to top the composite DVD ranking chart since its inception in 1999. The previous record was held by Chinese group Twelve Girls Band's, "Twelve Girls Band: First Premium Concert in Japan" (January 26, 2004) and American artist Britney Spears's Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (December 20, 2004) have come in at #2 on Oricon's Weekly Composite DVD Ranking. Furthermore, Kara sold 132,000 copies of their music video collection "Kara Best Clips" in their first week and this is the greatest amount sold for a "music video collection" for a female artist; not including live performance DVDs. The previous top seller was Mai Kuraki's "First Cut" (November 20, 2000), which sold 99,000 copies. Kuraki has held the record for 10 years and 3 months, but Kara has just taken her record away. In total, there have been only 6 foreign artists who have made it to number one on the Weekly DVD Composite Ranking: Kara, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Tohoshinki (TVXQ), Junsu/Jejung/Yuchun (JYJ) and Michael Jackson.
