Here we go again with the Koda-talk...

ofcourse since ayu is the 4th best selling artist of Japan history...and the 1st for female solo artist :D

Really, it's like inevitable. :(

Well don't encourage it then :P

'zomg ayu already sold tons more than ayu!!~'

Who cares? Kuu is the best :mischief

Week 5

15　*14,168　*,660,647　浜崎あゆみ　(WHITE)
16　*13,265　*,646,264　浜崎あゆみ　(BLACK)

other info (if you are interested):

*1　350,045　*,350,045　大塚愛　
*2　*93,946　*,967,827　Mr.Children
*6　*32,261　*,241,077　倖田來未

Finally a week where sales didn't drop like crazy. It'll be easy for both albums to outsell 'Secret' since it already dropped out of the charts.

Thanks icy_iven!

I guess both will outsell "Secret" soon! There's no way it's gonna beat "(m)u".

No, not really. Actually, no. Not at all.

... i dun really understand why people are complaining... Ayu has been out there for 10 years and the fact that she can still maintain this imply that she is really good already. i believe there are many singers that couldnt even maintain for a single year.

^yap...u made a good point there...ayu is already considered very good as compared to other artists since she's going to reach her 10th year anniversay soon

you somehow piss me off :mischief

Finally, no 50%+ drop. Hopefully she keeps selling over 10k for a few weeks:P .

It's kind of unfair to compare Kuu's overall sales to Ayu's, since Kuu peaked when the industry was a lot weaker than when Ayu did.

Just saw the new daily rankings and something weird happened. After so many weeks, -black- is better selling than -white-. This is only the second time in daily rankings that black was better selling than white, since the first time being the very first day. Could this be a new trend? Or is it just for today, we'll see in the next days :)
But both versions will definitely outsell Secret, in 1 or 2 weeks. Now hope for one of them to reach 700K :)

I can't believe some of you took my joke seriously. Maybe next time I have to put an influx of emoticons for you to understand.

I think she sold very well this week, and it comparison to Mr Children

Yeah, I think you might.. or some italics or bolds..

Oh well.

Her total sales are still really high for a dual release at this point in time.. I wonder how someone else would do if they did such a release..

Well 2007 so far,

Ayu:

A BEST 2 = 1,306,911
Secret = 170,825

TOTAL: 1,477,736

Koda:

But / Aishou = 87,512
Black Cherry = 976,029
BEST ~Bounce & Lovers~ = 208,816

TOTAL: 1,272,357

205,370 difference.

I dunno if the sales or any of it for CG go towards 2007, I can't be bothered to check, either way it makes no real difference.

Yeah, I pointed it out, so what. :P

:rolleyes

thats for those stats..im glad haa

Whoa, I love you Kingofpop! Well I wouldn't really care anyway, but it's about time ayu's beating that koda girl.

I think with that end-of sales award (forgot what it was called), I thought it is counted from December 06 (ie: Secret's sales is more than 170k) to December 07, and it is not sales but revenue.

So currently, Hamasaki Ayumi would rank much higher

where is the sense in that?
secret 170 and black cherry 976?

black cherry released the 20th of december, not in 2007..
so bc approximately sold 400k in 2007
