I might be overthinking but I think the reason why they decided for a best album is to compensate for the low sales they're having from the previous releases

Well they haven't made a Best album in a long while so, they probably decide to bring it back for good sakes.   Though I'd doubt an album full of old songs would do any better than the previous albums, maybe just as much. IMO

I think this is a natural course coming from their 10th anniversary.  Being a career milestone, they are taking an opportunity to look back at what they've done as they prepare to go forward.  I think the ladies are in a constant creative mode and the 'BEST of' album gives them all a chance to recharge their batteries and also get new experiences to fuel their creativity. I don't believe this has to do with sales at all.

"Scandal Show" is their highest selling album. A lot of people who are casual fans only buy "Best" albums. I think Scandal has probably been waiting for the time they have enough songs to release another one, because it's practically a guaranteed 60,000-seller (which for them is a lot).

"Best" albums also can help the following album sell well. "Standard" is their second-best selling album, and it was the first new studio album after "Scandal Show". ("Encore Show", which came in between, didn't sell as well, but old b-sides don't appeal to casual fans like singles they've heard on the radio do, and then new material.)

I'd just guess that "Scandal Show" probably added about 10,000 more sales to "Standard", from casual fans who thought they'd try out the new album after hearing the Best album. I'm estimating that based on the bump in sales for "Standard" vs. the overall trend line since "Temptation Box".

So I think this is a good strategy for them. It also gives them a little more time to work on new material for their next studio album, and maybe gets them back on a more "normal" schedule of releasing studio albums in the fall. I feel like the "Yellow" release date didn't help them, and kind of pushed their tours out of whack a bit too. Now that they're writing all their own material, it's got to be really difficult to do an entirely new album every year along with everything else that they do. It's basically just a bunch of extra work, and they're already one of the hardest working bands out there.

I voted for Flashback no. 5, Want You, and Metronome.
Not necessarily my top 5, but definitely my top 10/15 favorites

OMG I thought I was the only one that liked Flashback no. 5  I want to see a live version pretty bad!

Totally agree with spacecadet. generic audience usually buy best album, and a collection of the best songs of a 10 years carrier sounds the perfect chance to know a band/listen to a band for the first time. It's just a good marketing decision and a great opportunity to get more listeners that can become fans. It is also a cute way for the girls to have a cd that proves 10 years of hard work to look at and listen to. This best album just makes the 10th anniversary even more real.

I was waiting for a release like this for the 10th anniversary, so I'm more than ok with it but choosing three song is difficult. We will probably get one out of scandal baby, doll, shunkan sentimental, yoake no ryuuseigun and everybody say yeah (or maybe all of them) so choosing songs that could represent the band's mood and talent is hard.

Oh seems understandable now,  because honestly, I never really understand their compilation albums lol.

I'm just hoping this album would have some variety and not have the same track list as Scandal Show, and with only 3 or 4 recent tracks. .wew.

@spacecadet
Thanks,  but just to clarify Queens Are Trumps came after Scandal Show, but IDK how much that album sold.

I went with Onegai Navigation, Awanaitsumorino Genkidene and Sakura Goodbye-- or at least I think I did.  The site was in Japanese.

Oops, you are correct. Not my favorite album of theirs, so I probably just forgot about it. So just forget about that part of my post. QAT sold a little more than 50,000, so it doesn't seem like it was helped much by Scandal Show.

SCANDALのベストアルバム投票は「ライブで聴いたことない曲」じゃなくて本当に「あなたが好きな曲」を選んで下さい。今年はマニアツアーもあるし、先ほど発表したハロウィンライブ。あとはもう一個隠し玉が..○△☆。レア曲聴く機会は意外とあります。ぜひ純粋に好きな曲、3曲選んで下さい。



Voting for SCANDAL's Best Album, please vote for the "songs you like" rather than "songs you haven't heard live" This year there will be Mania Tour, also recently mentioned Halloween live. Also another secret/hidden....... There will be other chances to hear the rare songs. So please honestly vote for the 3 songs that you like.

Oh? Maybe we get to hear RingRingRing! Live next year?  .uhuh.

I choosed the songs that are post-SCANDAL SHOW album. Shunkan, Tai Kimi, Harukaze and others were already there so I gave chance to the more recent songs.

1. Namidayo Hikare - for me, the best STANDARD Album song. A close 2nd and 3rd would be Metronome and Standard. It became my favorite when they performed it on Scandal Festival.

2. Onegai Navigation - the best HELLO WORLD album song.

3. Take Me Out - my favorite on their latest Singles.

I wish they gave us more option. I would like to add more!  .cool.

Picking just three songs feels like Sophie's Choice.

Would that be okay if anyone will post a link of the poll here?

Thanks.

I'll vote the following:
1. Ashita no Ashita
2. Burn
3. 24 Jikan Plus no Yoake Mae

I think we all would like Ashita no Ashita on the album,  but you can only vote for recorded and released songs, unfortunately ANA is not for voting.

Heres the Link to vote, if you haven't already.

I voted for:

1. Namida yo hikare,
2. Onegai Navigation,
3. Flashback no. 5.

There are many good songs from older albums as well, but I feel that Standard and Hello World are their best albums, and they are a Best of Scandal album on their own. These three songs have a lot common in them and I like that style. I hope they make this best album a double album.

Honestly, I'd like to have another B-Side collection like Encore Show. I can't afford to buy every single single they release, considering how expensive they are plus import costs, and I'd like to actually own all of the B-sides. Encore Show was a nice collection that conveniently gave us most of the non-album tracks up until that point. I'd like a sequel to that.

Then again, I haven't enjoyed the recent B-sides all that much. But 2 songs that I absolutely must have are:

Koi no Kajitsu (which I was very disappointed to find didn't appear on Encore Show and is only available on the ridiculously expensive YAH YAH YAH SCANDAL CD)

Rainy (probably the best B-side in recent years)

Thanks for the link, my friend! I just finished voting.

You're absolutely right that Ashita is not available in the poll. Instead, I selected Bitter Chocolate, on top of Burn and 24.

Best of cd
My3 fav songs are
Scandal baby. Every body say yeah
And suki suki.clap.

I voted for "Anata ga Mawaru", "Aitai" and "Bright". But it was incredibly hard...

My Top 3 from the possible choices:

1. Queens are trumps
2. Flashback No.5
3. Love Survive

The poll for the BEST ALBUM is now closed. The results will be announced on the same site at a later date!

I approve of this selection, all great songs, and I'm glad to see Take Me Out in there as well


...and I must say I'm looking forward to what their next song will be like.
