^SONGS has not airing yet...
Hmm the main reason is the discount...they are selling it in half price...but still peoples don't want to download it if it's not worthy of their money... Lot of other artist albums have discount as well but it's not as successful as A BEST...and to think that this album is 14 years old is crazy... |
go A BEST, best-selling album of 2015 haha
|
^I think that's possible...her other competition on mid-year chart still on the chart but going down a little bit..but A BEST still selling...it will be tough battle though..we will see
|
LOL.
I think that after... how long does it chart like that on recochoku? 1 year and a half? 2 years? It's not just the discount. :) |
08/01 Update

A BEST still in the top 5...and step by step doing pretty good |
Holy shit with that damn A BEST. :shakehead It's almost like it charts every year during summer for a few weeks or something. They should start combining digital sales to physical in Japan. I bet Ayu's total sales are closer to 100K then.
//Also yey for Step by step's success! That song is awesome :) |

Wow @ Step by step, one month since its release and today it's #12 on Recochoku! I wonder if this could get a certification!
|

|
08/17 UPDATE
A BEST POSITION 3!!! YAY! and her rank going up on most of the categories... |
08/18 UPDATE
A BEST now is a runner up..just behind DCT Best album...I want to see number one please!!! Boys & girls randomly pop up on Jpop chart... I wonder if there is promotion going on yesterday...because some of her stuff randomly pop up again on the chart... |
What the heck? Why does A Best keep appearing? Not that I am not happy for the sucess of the album but it's like 14 years old. LoL
|
^discount and also promotion on recochoku pages is help A BEST really popular right now.
It's fighting on becoming number one album in yearly chart as well...it's really possible for her to get it... |
Discount and promotion are not reasons for this phenomenon since it's almost happening for 2 years long since it first got its discount. This was the initial reason.
It was #3 yearly of 2014 and I hope it can be top 5 of 2015. I wish we could know numbers too since I'm not sure how high the numbers are for their best selling albums of the year. It could be around 8,000-10,000 if at all for all we know. And how about the other hundreds of legally music downloading sites where A BEST doesn't even chart? recochoku is not the only japanese digital parlor. |
08/19 UPDATE
WEEKLY A BEST on position 5 and sixxxxxx go down to 18... almost all going down... DAILY Step by step is doing really good on the chart...going up and down...but still there... ayumisrael - hopefully number one! hahaha...I think it's more than just 8000-10000. |
^ well the numbers must've been quite low otherwise we should get a certification by now right? But i'm psyched for A BEST, that album is truly legendary. And i agree, it's not just because of the discount, it really is a great album.
|
now it's like... each second family in Japan has A BEST album?
|
I kind of wondered why A BEST is doing so well on Recochoku, I don't really think that the discount has something to do with it since it's already discounted for an entire year now... I hope this signals a comeback~
|
^no...not entire year...there is several months that it's not got discount
08/20 UPDATE lot of new releases enter the chart, all of Ayu's stuff are going down... |
08/21 UPDATE
A BEST back to position 5...sixxxxxx rise again... Step by step is on the edge of the top 50... |

WEEKLY CHART A BEST up to position 4, sixxxxxx going down to 27 Step by step keep on top 50, going up and down on daily chart but it's doing good, after about 2 months on the chart... DAILY CHART There is little boost on Step by step... |
08/27 UPDATE
sixxxxxx out of top 50 while A BEST stay on position 5 |
maybe this would be the right time to out out an a best 3? people seem to be loving the first one
|
08/28 UPDATE
A BEST up to position 4. despite all hates towards Step by step in this forum but I think digitally it's sold pretty well...it's becoming the face of sixxxxxx, floating around in top 20, it's really doing pretty good. out of nowhere Last minute appearing on RBT chart. tsumekaze_ - I can smell it...A BEST 3 coming soon...it's already took her so long for her to release it...8 years...that's a very long wait for her to release A BEST 3...she already has tons of stuff to put on it... |
^She's probably waiting for her 20th anniversary I figured? She's never been a fan of bests anyway so I guess she wants to release as few as possible.
Thanks for the updates! |
Best albums (especially in avex) seems to be contractual so ayu might somehow delay it each time (maybe releasing another original or mini album instead).
Her 20th anniversary will take place in 2 and a half years, the question is if they will let A BEST 3 to wait until then and if they will want to make it somehow sell better than her usual albums since her drops will only continue and the increase will be less big as time passes. It won't be enough to promote it as a 20th anniversary release though and avex and ayu will have to work really REALLY hard and find ways in order to put her back in the general public's mind, at least specifically for A BEST 3 if not in general (like DREAMS COME TRUE's compilation). Unless they don't care as much how much it sells and decent sales for that time will be enough for them. If they won't be able to then we can see A BEST 3 selling like 35,000-50,000 tops if at all on 2018 (and that is if A BEST 3 will be released on her 20th anniversary lol). My hopes are that they are waiting to really find ways or a special time or something to make it big (and not just because ayu doesn't want to yet), that at least her post (miss)understood hits will get the love they deserve. avex/ayu will have to work hard finding good endoresements, ayu making hit songs/song, good tie-ins (making ayu loveable and not "disliked" again) if they even intend to. |
I think they might wait for her 20th anniversary to release another A BEST.
|
It will be a really long wait until her 20th anniversary...
I think she better release it soon... 08/29 UPDATE A BEST up to position 3. |
Yeah, it's a pretty long wait. And that would be a pretty massive gap between A BEST 2 and the 20th anniversary...remember - A BEST 2 was released back in 2007! That would be eleven years! :O
|
wow..11 years for releasing another best album is kinda too long for a Japanese artist...
08/30 UPDATE A BEST now is a runner up... |
They should discount A Best 2 too. Unless they have. xD
|
^How about A COMPLETE?
08/31 UPDATE A BEST down to position 4... re-enter the video chart...also SEASONS pop up in this category...looks like a-nation performance gave some people nostalgic feeling to watch SEASONS PV again... |
09/01 UPDATE
A BEST back up to position 2! ugghhhh DCT...always ahead of A BEST this month..I want to see A BEST on number 1 |
Let's see if DCT's best can hold up 2 years like A BEST does. lol
When did A BEST got back to the charts? (The first discount) Was it in mid 2013? |
^haha..A BEST is a phenomenon..I find it really funny that we talking about it in this thread like A BEST just comes out a month ago...
09/02 UPDATE Monthly A BEST doing really good...runner up on monthly chart... sixxxxxx doing pretty good as well at position 8 Step by step going down but still fluctuating around top 20 Weekly A BEST going up again this week to position 3, just one position behind DCT Step by step still there around to 30 too bad that sixxxxxx already out of top 50 on weekly chart Daily Lot of her stuff stay on the same position which is pretty good |
I still found it amusing that she was not happy with A BEST release back then. I wonder if she still think that way, considering it became her best selling album and has this 'immortality' on digital chart lol
|
^ She was not happy that it's released earlier than expected. She did mention that a best album was a release that she hoped to do on her own direction. ;)
|
A BEST is still charting? Holy shit, people say nobody gives a shit about Ayu and this happens, haha. :roflmao
|
09/03 UPDATE
Fall down on all category...well..tons of new releases entering the chart, hopefully her stuff will get back into the chart towards the end of the week... |
09/04 UPDATE
A BEST back up to position 7 Step by step enter the chart again on some category... |
09/05 UPDATE
Good news A BEST now in third position.. Bad news she is almost done on every category...right now she is just charting on Album and RBT Chart... |
09/06 UPDATE
A BEST now runner up and still behind DCT..ughhh... she is just charting on Album and UTA chart today.. |
Wow, this is amazing! And it seems like people are really interested into her old songs. Like ok, the album had a lower price..but to chart for so many months?? This is insane.
|
09/07 UPDATE
Finally A BEST ahead of DCT best album, DCT best album drop to position 7... but still A BEST in position 2, J soul brothers get number one... I hope she will get that number one tomorrow |
Wow this is great go ayu!!
|
I'm impressed that album is doing so well, even if it's thanks to the discount/price drop. Go Ayu! A BEST also needs to be added to NA iTunes, 'cause for some strange reason it's not there.
|
oopppsss...I updated today chart with sixxxxxx come back to the album chart at position 36...I'm not aware with sixxxxxx..too happy when I open the page and saw A BEST picture up there...
|
09/08 UPDATE
WEEKLY A BEST down one position but ahead of DCT best...I think this week will be final week we will see Step by step on the chart DAILY A BEST down one position...to position 3 |
09/09 UPDATE
The discount time for A BEST is over..I don't know when they will discount it again..but for now..it's already droping down to 34 Step by step already gone for good on lot of category as well..it just show on RBT chart.. |
09/10 UPDATE
A BEST out of top 50 now Ayu just charting on RBT chart...the list is so empty |
It was clear that A BEST was selling so much thanks to the discount. How much did it cost with the discount and now?
|
^50%
from 1650 to 850 now it's back to 1650 |
^ for me, its not a big deal.. i mean 1650 yen for a best album is not much
|
I think 1.650 yen is too much, considering that it is a digital copy of an album released 14 years ago and not being the only best album she has.

You want to pay less for first album just because she has second? Why early songs don't deserve same payment as new music? |
^New products are more expensive because they can count on novelty and hype to sell, making people willing to pay more for them. Older products tend to have less people interested in buying them, so, they tend to be less expensive.
The most people interested, the most expensive. |
