nowadays 40k for a female solo singer is pretty good =) check the previous pages of this thread, we did some comparison between the most relevant female solo singers ^^

40k is good for nowadays artists, was bad on 2012

40k was low 10 years ago

I did, it makes much more snse now that I know what that k at the end of the number means xD

3rd Week
Position: #55
Official Sales: 938
Official Total Sales: 36,027

Just what I expected.. ^^

40 k in 2013 for solo artists is pratically uncorking the champagne worthy stuff. (I don't know why, but I suddenly remember that time I wanted to run on the street screaming when Kana Nishino Believe single stopped charting at 39.500, lol).
Ayu is doing ok! <3

#1 Single this week sold only 11k and #1 Album sold 32k, it was a really poor week.

Lower than I expected, at this rate I'm not sure if ayu can reach 40k

She might sell around 400~500 copies next week. 40k would be hard... It took 11 weeks for Kana Nishino's last single (Sayonara) to reach 40k, but I doubt Feel the love will have a longevity like that, it might fall out of top 200 in two weeks. But in terms of comparison it outsold Kana's summer single (Namidairo) released last August, which sold 27,652 copies and charted 6 weeks.

Omg huge flop :(
But still cheer up for Ayu!

I just hope she will start releasing singles on a more regular basis ^^

Plz, the only flop ayu is concerned with these days is her fiancé's dong.

She just got a house on beverly hills last year, money is in the least of her problems lol.

If she keeps touring she will just increase her bank account by millions.

Touring is indeed where the money is.

It does break my heart a little that this is one of her first #3 peaked single in a very very very very long time.. I was really rooting for this to peak at #1, such great composers! None the less, it`s doing pretty decently in terms of sales for the time..

She didn't earn gazillions selling discs. Her publicity contracts and shows made her rich and her tours are established (and in a very good situation). Even CDL had 3 dates this year again, despite the rumors about some venues not being full-crowded at A BEST LIVE (proving, imo, that was not a big deal after all)...

She's ok.

I won't update Feel the love daily charts from now on because it's obvious that she won't chart on Daily Top 50 anymore... :~

Thank you for your work ^ good job ayu :) we're always proud of you
