^ Thank you! So is there still a chance for #1 on the high resolution single chart? Sorry if I annoy somehow but Recochoku always confuses me a bit.

^ She's down to #6 on the High Resolution single chart today, so I don't think so :(

^ Oh, that's sad. :( Maybe YouTube spot helps a bit but I don't think so... :/

what a wonderful view today's chart is

It would be good for promotion that the people at Japan buy the single and get a code for the game or something like that.

According to RIAJ, two songs have been certified for September 2016!

Platinum (250,000)
BLUE BIRD

Gold (100,000)
Song 4 u

JUSTICE FOR LOVE AGAIN! (I feel blue bird was released in another life... it's been more then 10 years)

Song 4 u! Awesome.

I love seeing Ayu and Hikki together at the top of the charts!

yay for song 4 u <3

A Complete costs only 9oo Yen at that time ...

^ Yes, everytime she is on top is due to discounts but people taking advantage of the discount are a proof that they are interested at least a little in her music.

^Pretty much, if there was no interest, it could be for free and people wouldn't download it. Seens like Avex is using promotion as a way to re-introduce her hits to people.

Yeah, it doesn't matter that A COMPLETE is being sold for really cheap, people wouldn't throw their money away if they didn't have an interested for at least some of the songs in the album. Glad to see both Utada and Ayu selling well digitally. :yes

Recochoku Year-end Charts are out and Ayumi is #29 in Overall Artist Ranking.:shakehead I believe she was #23 last year or so, however it's surprising to me she's that hight since A BEST was not discounted this year (I think it was still discounted in January though):love

EDIT: ALSO:

A BEST #55 and A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ #74 in the Overall Albums Chart :)

wow Impressive... since we had way less new material this year.

recochoku celebrates 15 years and for this they put a ranking of the best selling artists and songs of these 15 years together.
Ayu is at #3.

http://recochoku.jp/special/100529/?...ate=4299010125

Top 10 artists:
1. EXILE
2. Koda Kumi
3. Ayumi Hamasaki
4. ORANGE RANGE
5. Kobukoro
6. Ai Otsuka
7. GReeeeN
8. Hikaru Utada
9. Kana Nishino
10. Mika Nakashima

For songs HEAVEN charts at #49.

Damn you, Kuu! >: (

...

OF COURSE NOT! Glad to see both of them in the top-3!!! Congratulations to them!!! GO AYU!!! (Also congrats to Hikki)

It makes sense that Koda Kumi would be above Ayu on this list.:think
I'm surprised to see Utada towards the bottom though.

Golden days of JPOP. I am surprised to see Ayu above Kobukoro, Kana (especially here somehow) and Hikaru. Ayu's peak ended before Recochoku got popular...so it makes sense Ku is #2.
