## Charts

"Winter Love" debuted at #2 on Oricon Daily Singles Chart, but rose to #1 on its fourth day out. It landed at #2 on the weekly charts, being kept out of number one by a narrow 3,814 copies. Its total sales outsold the number one single's total sales that week. The single's debut sales and position were very high, compared to her previous single "[Key of Heart / Dotch](/source/Key_of_Heart_/_Dotch)", which had low sales due to poor promotion by her record label, [Avex Trax](/source/Avex_Trax). Despite competition from many other major new releases, this single continued its success. It sold double the amount of "Key of Heart / Dotch's" total sales, and outsold "[Nanairo no Ashita: Brand New Beat / Your Color](/source/Nanairo_no_Ashita:_Brand_New_Beat_/_Your_Color)".
