^Probably on september or at end of august

Congrats Ayu!

Congratulations Ayu! Now, I hope she keeps her record, at least until the 50th single.

I think that's part of the reason as well. With leaks happening left and right, most people can hear an album before it hits stores and decide whether it's good or not. They don't have to wait and find out after paying for it. Most of what I hear (the few times I listen to radio) is trash. It's really no wonder more people choose to illegally dl music, imho there's not that many artists/albums/singles worth the money. There are plenty of good albums that I've dled illegally of course (mainly Jpop) and those albums I'm in the process of or will eventually buy because they're worth it. :P

I hope so too. :( It's one of the things I love most about J-music.

I was just thinking about all the #1's Ayu had and if she had the most of any artist but this confirms it. Congrats, Ayu! You go girl! =)

Yes! Another number one! Go Ayu! You're almost there! :D

I guess the 49th Single will sell lower than MOON/Blossom by looking from the experience of Vogue/Faraway/SEASONS

I'm so relieved!

I also like 9.1 for the 49th single release date...

If it follows the pattern then 50th will be the highest selling one, which even without the v~f~s comparison I think will.

I agree. I also disagree that the 49th will sell less...it has been confirmed that they will actually promote the next two...lol.

I'm happy with the first week sales taking into account it had no promotion ^^

Yeah I really want her to break the streak and then we can chill out a little bit. Lol. Of course I'll keep rooting for her #1 after #1 but I'd be less crushed. I just don't want her to fall short when she's THIS CLOSE to overtaking Seiko.

This. If that happens, I'll just...:caa :weep :freak

And then :drunk all my sorrows away.

We have to be careful about that... I think September 1st is favorable for me, if Avex and/or Ayu announces the 49th single release date NOW or sometime this week...

Sayuri Sugawara and miwa (my two other favorites) are about to release singles on September 1st, but I don't think that's very much of a threat... SPEED may be the highest, but maybe not as high...

And if you're really wondering other artists who are releasing on September 1st, take a look at spoiler below:


We also really have to understand that around the time Angela Aki would be releasing an album, Ayu around a one-week radius would release a single, and that has been going on since Angela Aki's first album release in Japan back in 2006. Here's the details:


Some major releases coming in September that is NOT Ayu:

GLAY release? Kay.....MIYAVI RELEASEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Man. I'm really falling behind with following him (again)

Oh well. Maybe ayu should go up against miyavi. They should both try going on music station.

I wanna know who's under ayu for solo artist with most number 1 singles
^___^

^ yeah GLAY is releasing Precious on 8th Sept , I'm so excited ! it has been way too long after they put out I am xxx which was extremely kick ass <3

Well now that MOON / blossom is officially #1 , I guess everyone will be speculating when crossroad will be released & also will it be another double A-side release in the mix again x)

^hehe...can't wait for that then(omg I love ur avatar. Like sooo cute, karen)

Anyway...yeah. The threat of ayu must interfere with others positions (sorta)
But really......I just want another number 1 T.T

i just know audience is no 2 in oricon chart...( its awesome song i think...)

great news!! congratzz to ayu!

not much competition for ayu on September...
The biggest threat is coming from Glay...
if she realease on 1st September it will be an interesting match too...but i think ayu still can win...

how about 25 August?

I bet the other 2 singles are gonna do better than M/b :) since she's going to promote them xD

This is great news! I think the single did very well especially without promotions. Hopefully it will sell over 100k in the end.
