Information

Checkmate! is the fourth compilation album released by Amuro Namie. This is her first best-of collaboration album, which includes collaborations with other artists and her guest appearances. It was released in two versions: a regular CD+DVD edition and a regular CD-only edition. First pressings of both versions came housed in a digipak. The album features four new songs, including "Wonder Woman", which was used as a Coca-Cola Zero commercial song. The album was originally scheduled to be released on March 23, but it was postponed until April 27 due to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.

Oricon Chart Positions

The album debuted at #1 on the Oricon charts, and charted for 52 weeks. It sold a total of 484,336 copies in 2011, becoming the #6 album of the year.
