(sighs) This is going to be one nightmare (putting a pun on Dreams Come True to Ayu) that Ayu fans are going to have to deal with. That bitter pill Ayu and her fans have to take all because of DCT... Come on Japan, give Ayu a chance at #1!!! Koda Kumi got #1 this year, Namie got #1 (among albums)...#WhyNotAyu??? Clearly this wasn't fair! How could a month-old BEST album outrun Ayu??? For one last time...this is plain old stupid. Stupid Oricon!!! |
Out of curiosity... All of those 47 songs released after Bold & Delicious either got certifications, huge youtube view numbers, had strong tie-ins, above average sales, were said by her team to be popular among her fandom or are frequently played at her concerts:

sixxxxxx dropped to #9 yesterday
Man the sales for albums' yesterday is so poor , it's not even funny . The #1 spot for yesterday , only sold 8,131 copies o_O |
Wow still in top 10!
Sales must be really bad this week, except for DCT of course :P |
Honestly though the rank doesn't matter at all, it's more about the numbers. The rank os more of a symbol and it always depends on the competition

lol Bigtop having a meltdown if any artiste he 'supports' doesn't get #1 , epic
I support/listen to so many artistes & not everyone of them has any #1's in their catalogue but do they care ? No , they still continue to release music as it's #1 or #100 , it's no big deal , really |

JUJU - Request II 77,836 (COVER ALBUM) debut: 2004 Nishino Kana - with Love 75,720 (in 2015, total: 257,032) debut: 2008 These were released last year I think, those don't count |
JUJU's album was released in December 2014, so in the 2015 oricon year. Swift's and Kana's numbers are just those of 2015 - in total, they even sold more.

Okay, for those of you who complain on my overreaction...

Ayu, however...that wasn't a best album. :no After all, there isn't anything that made an unfair advantage to DCT - it seems more people were more interested with DCT than Ayu. After all, there was that speculation about that "wonderland tour that happens every four years" - and it's understandable why DCT had the edge at the end. It's pretty crazy how DCT sold that much at the final day of the week (Sunday) that would lead to the demise of Ayu's #1 run. :( But then again, more people were interested in DCT, especially when it was a best album, and not Ayu. I have to relate Ayu's loss to DCT to this: (imagine - Ayu is the white race car who led until before the final turn of the race, DCT is some green race car) The overreacting that I did here undermines my tendency of why I sometimes overreact pretty much everywhere, including at my house. (I even overreacted when the Seahawks' pass to win the Super Bowl back in February was intercepted by the Patriots in the final 30 seconds of the game! :O) But I have to understand overreacting isn't appropriate in general, and I have to accept these situations that we don't like, such as Ayu losing out #1 to DCT. Then again, these days happen, and we have to move on - we, from Ayu herself, to ourselves here in the AHS community, will have learned lessons from the experience we had throughout the week. I know it is becoming difficult for Ayu to get #1 this time (compared to the yesteryear), but that's what we have today. :( This is 2015, NOT 2010 or 2000. Ever since I first joined Ayu fandom back in late 2006/early 2007, I knew that she was on a run of #1 releases. But a year later, when Kobukuro broke Ayu's #1 album streak, we learned the lesson that no streak is safe, and Ayu is now pretty much square one. It's disappointing though how the string of potentially controversial personal life moves may have turned some of the fans away, but then again, it is normal for soloists to decline sharply in the career, whereas groups such as DCT, Mr.Children, and even SMAP, are more likely to perform well for a long time compared to soloists, after reading some pieces from this thread. As for this week...I don't think it's likely. And I have a feeling DCT could do it all over again...the albums competition is pretty weak this week. And, to be honest...I have NOT listened any of the songs from the album yet. Haven't had a chance yet, so I have to question myself why have I not been listening to Ayu recently... |

Anyway, Hello there, neighbor. I'm like 1 hour south of you lol. :wave :wave |
We will see if DCT can stay almost 2 years mostly on recochoku's top 5 like A BEST does :rolleyes j/k
But it's great for DCT to stir interest with their hits so far this point in their career. sixxxxxx is already doing good enough. |
Really, 30k for a mini-album is a great result! Especially in an Oricon world full of gimmicks (not aimed at DCT, more aimed at the countless K-pop/J-pop idols with their handshakes and entry to events/concerts for buying X number of copies of their single...). I'm not familiar if Ayu had any, but I'm guessing not.
Dreams Come True's best-of sold so well because it is a 3-disc career best-of priced insanely well. 3500 yen for 50 songs! Compare that to 1800-3200 yen for Ayu's 6 songs. I don't think them being a group is the reason why it sells so well. They are very well respected and for good reason. They're versatile with their music, especially in the last decade. Someone similarly well respected, Yuming, released a best-of that was exactly the same: career best-of, 50-ish songs for 3500 yen, and it sold just as well as DCT's. The Oricon chart is becoming less relevant. You can't really compare numbers between artists anymore like you could 10, 20 years ago. It went from being like comparing peaches and plums to comparing peaches and dog food. Uh yeah, they're both food...and that's it. So don't be upset Ayu lost to a release so completely different to her. She still had the best-selling original album (mini or full) for the week! Good job Ayu! |

sixxxxxx at number six...GREAT!
|
wow.. it might stay on top 10 again!
|
I hope it stays on Top 10 this week! :)
|
it would be amazing it if could sell at least 5k this week
|
I'm confident that Sixxxxxx is going to stay in the top 10 for another week! :yes
