maybe in just 3 weeks AC will have 850k...! very respectable sales, especially considering NEXT LEVEL.

Almost there! ALMOST THERE!!!
Ganbatte! 850K!

Wow, still 600 people a week getting AC! So cool~ *_*

Come on, AC, pass 850k! :)

Maybe A COMPLETE will break the milion barrier... someday?

It went up 31 positions! Maybe the tour is helping somehow. ^It might actually just sell a million copies but sales outside of the top 300 are not accumulated into the oricon total. But she might still sell a few hundred copies every week.

2169 more to 850k!!

31st Week

2009/04/20 2** ***,565 848,396

Hoa..... almost reach the end of AC's life
it's impossible it can stay until 40 weeks now

It's still on the charts with less than 600 sales? It's like blood spurting out of the jugular. You wonder how much longer it will last.

*cheers*
FIGHTO AC FIGHTO!!!

I think it will reach 850k for sure.

The compilation albums still in the charts after such a long time are BEAUTIFUL FIGHTERS xD
I hope it will break 850k before dropping otu, but even if it doesnt, im sure it will go back up in the top 300, even if only for a week, sometime and well see how much it sold^^

I'm so proud of Ayu!!
(And her fans for continually supporting her.)
This just goes to show that her popularity is NOT falling.

^Yup. She's still a big thing in Japan. I'm sure her name commands quite a lot of respect in the entertainment circle.

OH ! i just hope AC can reach 850k !

So did it manage to chart for last week? Or has it...

31st week position #225
sales : 565
total sales : 848,396

GO AC! 1,604 copies more!!! For how's going... it will take 3 weeks at least... I hope AC will be still on charts for us to see it get the 850K!!!

Sometimes I can't believe it's still charting.

ayu-san... it's one good result~

Gah, I'm so glad it's still charting. I kind of hope that AC lasts and lasts in some form in the charts for a year. xD If its sales remain between the 500-800 mark per week that will be so great! >_<

I'm tempted to buy another copy to help it along >_>

if the 500 keeps up..then its 2-3 more weeks :)

3 more weeks or so and it'll hit 850k! Then it's honestly COMPLETE IMO. ^^

I cannot believe its still alive on the charts!
1.6k to go!!!

Nah it doesn't really need help. It was probably the main contributor of ayu being the 2nd most profitable artiste for 2008. Now NL on the other hand...

aaa nearing 850k..

wow, still selling and reaching 850k soon (hopefully)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now, how awesome is that??!!!!!!!!!

a little bit more to crack 850K :luv2

Work it AC, wooork it! You can do it! :D :D

849K excatly now

188　225　***,604　*,849,000　*32　浜崎あゆみ 「A COMPLETE ～ALL SINGLES～」

^Wow, it's still a ways from top 300. It's so close to 850k!!

2 weeks to go and it's surely reach 850K.
the sales bit up

please stay 5 weeks more so AC has longer life in chart than A BEST II black = 35 weeks, White = 36 weeks

I think it actually might make it to 850K.

Exactly 1,000 to go! and it's back to the top 200 and sold more than last week!
It needs another 2 or 3 weeks and it will sell 850,000 =D.
Thanks for the update ^_^

AC is such a monster.

So close to 850k! I hope it can reach it soon. :)

Is that counting the revival ABII had during the end of year? It stopped charting for awhile then around when Guilty was released, it re-surfaced on the chart.

Dunno.. I think it's included the coming back of A BEST II to the chart after stop charting

A BEST 2 -WHITE charted 37 weeks (with the GUILTY rise charting) and A BEST 2 -BLACK- charted 36 weeks. =D

Last Weeks of them:

#229　150　***,696　*,721,839　*37　浜崎あゆみ「A BEST 2－WHITE－」
#219　159　***,721　*,702,895　*36　浜崎あゆみ「A BEST 2－BLACK－」

850k is SO near it's not funny.

Aargh, all of this anticipation is crazy! I wish it had already passed the milestone >_< I suppose a mere two weeks isn't long to wait though

wowwwww so amazing!!! xD so close, hope it makes it :D

thanks for the correction,Tal

Ho is it going?! Over 849k now? O.o

^It's exactly 849k on the oricon charts. Maybe 2 more weeks..? And then Exile Ballad Best came along and smashed A Complete's current total in one week alone. But i suppose ayu's releases were doing that in her hey day.

wow its still charting and the rank + sales went up. It'll be nice if it reaches 850k

AC out from top 300 on 33rd week....

849K total sales

^ nooooo T___T it was almost theree!! a hope AC will go up again to show us the 850K+ mark -_____- waa so saaad... only for 1 week...

I dont mind about the sales but I just want AC has longevity chart. AC has shorter life than A BEST II both
that's sad

Wah thats annoying-ly close!!! >.<

Well it sold great while it lasted, and go figure it might pop back in the top 300 some time.

Awww man... It was so close...

Gah!! How sucky! >:P

It was so close to 850k, 849 is too cruel!

It might pop back for some reason in the near future.. maybe.

would it reach 1 million copies by far?

GOD it's so unfair! Almost 850K!

Aww... I thought it was going to last longer on the charts. :(

God and it was SO close to 850k!!

Yeah, it's so frustrating!!! I was so sure it would make it ;_;.

OMG LOL It should've been 850k :thud

They didn't ship 1 million copies, otherwise A Complete would have received the RIAJ certification. Right now it only has triple platinum status (750k-999999). However, i'm 100% certain it sold well over a million copies worldwide :yes

If it sold over a million copies, wouldn't Avex have to ship over a million copies and then A COMPLETE would get the certification?

But SolarAngel said that it could very well sell over 1 million copies worldwide. For Asia countries like Singapore, they need to ship the OS presses instead, so I think that 750k from RIAJ is just the Japan press.

Oh I thought the OS versions counted for the certification since it all pretty much comes from Avex.

it's great that A COMPLETE has crossed 849K

hopefully it can aim for 850K in due time :yes

Is it officially dead on the charts or is it still alive?
I hope it hit 850k ATM... :(

its dead at the moment but if it will sell enough copies next weeks and make it back to top 300 all copies sold within the weeks in which it didnt charted will be counted so dont get scared when u will see different number and it sure will be over 850k

Maybe all the stock has been bought up and they're not manufacturing anymore.

^ No, avex never stops manufacturing as long as people are willing to buy + you can still buy it at CDJapan and Yesasia, so it cant be completely sold out

regular CD are always manuactured. they will never sell out, since its not FP or something

If A song for xx is still manufactured in stores in japan (and online stores like CDJapan) so obvously A COMLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ will also.

I assumed if u manufacture something, it would have to be in bulk to be cost-effective. I wouldn't think they would manufacture a new batch if only a few thousand more are willing to buy it. The older albums sold in online stores and retail outlets are probably very old stock.

That's what the pressings are about. The first press is the first batch and subsequent pressings are future batches.

AC IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
and sold more

LOL there's hope after all

LOL I knew it will be back :roflmao

Just 1 more week!! =DD

Thank you riozz!!

most probably it wont chart this week due to new releases but im sure it will appear again! :D

^I think though what riozz posted is of the last week since we just got the weekly of the week that was just over yesterday. xD
So if it charted we will get it around the end of the week or Sunday since it's out of the top 100. ^^

WAA is BACK!!! AC is soo strong!! a mirrorcle!! one week more please and reach 850!!

Great news!! Just don't drop more than 65 positions next week...

Haha waht?! That was pretty random but oh so great! ^^ Keept it strong!

I'm glad it's back, thx for the update.

I hope it will pass 850k very soon. :yes

Whoo hooo!!! I'm so glad it's back and better than before :D

wow!!! its back...i hope next week it will reach 850k...

omg my heart stopped for a moment...hope it will really go over 850k...avex might as well buy some of the copies!

^Just for the numbers..? It doesn't make any economic sense, only an ego boost.

^ But thats exactly what a german label did for one of their singers, a german-idol fourth place, they bought tons of her albums so she would be high in the charts(and she ended up performing for Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 I think...), if Avex did that, people would be like: Wow, that compilation suddenly got into the top 30(or something) again, if its that great, ill buy it! xD

But AVEX prefers money over everything. And unlike German labels AVEX sells loads of cds every year so they don't care if she'll sell 500 copies more or not.

Interesting idea. Seems really risky though, judging that japanese sales r super front-loaded n hype dies down really fast. The hype would have to be created early on in this case. Like avex could pre-order a ton of albums before it's released.

@njanjayrp and SolarAngel
I think youre both right, I just wanted to point out that it's really a used technique(though it's illegal, at least in Germany)
But the label that did that is the most succesful(or second most succesful) label in germany, they sell loads of CDs as well(I think it was Sony, but im not sure)

^about avex buying copies to increase the sales... well.. it would be logic in september when AC was out and it was new, with TV-CM, promotion... it would had sense to reach #1, or to motivate people to buy it... But now it has no sense to waste money... it's my opinion ^^

Honestly, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Fans probably bought these, not avex. If avex wanted to raise sales for ______ they'd have purchased them during A BALLADS when it almost reached a million and stopped and fell short, or evolution. Jeez, people.

lol do you guys think that avex even knows it's at 849k now? I don't know lol.

In any case, hopefully there'll be a miracle and A COMPLETE will surface again next week to sell 850k copies. :)

noone cares about if it sells 850 or 849...only you fans are making theese senseless numbers...

Some people do care, so.. that's their thing. Don't say no one cares when some people do.

ah I hope the total sales tally can hit 850K in due time

^I agree. 850 just looks better then 849 in a weird way. :P lol.

A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ officialy broke the 850,000 mark!!
Yay!! =D

34th Week
Position: #223
Sales: 610
Total Sales: 850,255

The position is also higher from last week. XD

JAAAAY!!!! :D
Congrats to A COMPLETE!

so now you all can be happy :))) but so I am haha

Congratulations!

It's not like the 666k with Secret! Hah!
