I agree with you!!:love

1st solo artist. That is amazing.

That's kind of the point I was making. ;) It's the shear number of releases that Ayu has had that puts her at #3 - there are plenty of other artists that sell more, they just release less.

And she's probably going to continue to still have CDL and her tours, but at the very least CDL may become something that isn't released without something else bundled with it. (eh, just watch CDL12-13 become some sort of anniversary release hahaha) If you have the material, why not release it? I'd like to know who is #4-10 just to see where they stand DVD sales-wise.

I always liked that she had two relatively different concerts on DVD/Blu-ray for quite some time now. As for like B'z and such, they seem to be releasing their past concerts in a few months on DVD/Blu-ray so we'll see how those do. Looking at ARASHI's performance on the charts, they seem to have had at least two DVD releases a year that sell 500k+... insane.

Oh my god, look at the stats from almost two years ago! (http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/rankmusic/84631/full/)

1. ARASHI 4.014 million
2. Morning Musume 2.288 million
3. Ayumi Hamasaki 2.226 million

And now it's QUITE different for ARASHI.

1. ARASHI 7.057 million
2. Morning Musume 2.740 million
3. Ayumi Hamasaki 2.535 million

I'm kinda wondering where MoMusu's sales came from since I KNOW they sell a lot of different DVDs (single Vs, multiple concert DVDs every year), but they don't sell very many of them so what gives? Did they for some reason also count regular single DVD sales and fanclub graduation DVDs as well?

its just DVD right?

Arashi in 14 years (I think?) have only 13 DVDs total. It's only the last two years that they have had two releases per year. They just simply SELL....A LOT.

MM's number comes largely from some of their earlier concert dvds and single Vs - they posted some pretty huge numbers back in the day.

yes that's right , ARASHI only released 13 DVDs even though this year's their 14th year in the business

It's hard to believe about 10 years ago when they released How's it going? SUMMER CONCERT 2003 , the last updated sales figure for it was 158,399 which's so :dead2 as compared to their current DVD sales figures which's quite madness

I mean the amount from the last year or two of 400k~ DVDs. It's very odd considering that their sales haven't been great DVD wise for the last 5+ years.

Anyone know exactly the sales of each DVD/VHS/BD of Ayu ?

Ahhh, I see. Yeah, that is kind of strange. Although over the last year or two they have had a slight upswing in popularity(due to the current success of idol groups across the board basically).

@KarenPang - Yeah, those first week sales are amazing. The total sales are even more impressive - some DVDs went on to sell over 700,000 copies. It's surprising to me somewhat that AKBs DVDs do not sell anywhere near that well considering that their singles sell millions. Also considering that the main appeal of idol groups are the visuals. It really makes it look like a lot of AKBs huge success with singles comes from all the different gimmicks that come with them. Arashi's DVDs on the other hand sell more than some of their music does!

Yeah, they even had a #1 single recently.

However, eight to ten releases that sell 10k (or less) each does not add up to 400k+. Something smells, haha.

yaaay! Anyway the difference from arashi's 1st ranking momusu 2nd is impressing in terms of sales

two more years and ayu will be #2

Not bad for her DVD sales!! Great!

how many DVD's does ayu have??
