yeah, that wouldnt make much sense since Michael jackson's thriller is the best selling album in the world with over 50 million...

Mirai Noah 7th December 2004 11:46 PM

Cool! Thank you for the info. I'm excited to see the booklet!

jeremysumpterlover93 8th December 2004 12:19 AM

Oh, I can't wait to buy this!! I wanna see the booklet soo badly!!

extepan 8th December 2004 12:31 AM

starr5245 8th December 2004 12:32 AM

this is utterly crazy!!

thejadedangel 8th December 2004 12:38 AM

it's probably 87,300 OR 870,300, which I highly doubt.

jkm444 8th December 2004 12:41 AM

wow thats cool! I am for sure looking foward to the booklet and I hope that it sales well!

luminaire 8th December 2004 12:47 AM

thejadedangel: It's the latter - and I'm not kidding. Hirai Ken also did very well when he debuted last week, selling over 670,000 copies.

Still, no one can beat Hikki's 1.4 million. Sorry for saying this here but I think Ayu, while definitely being able to surpass the 1 million mark her first week, can't reach the 1.4 million that Hikki pulled for her single collection. Maybe I'll have to take that back two weeks from now, when Oricon releases its weekly rankings, but for now that's what I feel.

Nu-NRG 8th December 2004 12:53 AM

oops haha
i put some few extras zeros... :innocent
i meant 873,000 for its debute(Orange Range - musicQ)
sorry for the confusion

yea...hikki's UH single collection sold too well imho
just a best album
i wonder if ayu can do that with the new album
since it's the most anticipated cd according to oricon

Findlay 8th December 2004 01:22 AM

Looks like ayu won't get "Artist of the Year" of Gold Disc Award next year just by how much Hikki's single collection sold...

ll moments ll 8th December 2004 01:26 AM

ou. less make-up. i'll look forward to it.

Kazuko 8th December 2004 02:55 AM

oO;; that is really really awesome!! go ayu~

gakkun 8th December 2004 10:35 AM

I'm only hoping that MY STORY sells more than RAINBOW. But there's no way that's it's gonna touch that new ORANGE RANGE album, in terms of sales though.

Baernash 8th December 2004 01:32 PM

Fmm... interesting - thx~ 4 info :)

extepan 8th December 2004 03:48 PM

i really am not so sure if she could sell 1 million in one week. MA didnt do that either, did it?

thejadedangel 8th December 2004 04:33 PM

Whoa, Orange Range totally surpassed my expectations. I would've thought 500,000 at the most...dang this beats their indie days.

MA sold 550k its first week, which I think is pretty amazing for a mini-album.

RAINBOW, Ayu's most disliked full-featured album it seems, sold 650k its first week.

I'd expect MY STORY to sell more than MA...hitting 600-700k copies its first week.

Then again the Japanese Music Industry is changing. Weak single sells may correlate with higher album sales now since consumers may prefer to have it all in one CD (like the US Industry, singles sales are really low but album sales are extremely high). Ayu had a weak singles sales this year, maybe people are tired of buying singles from her (since she has SOOO many) and are just anticipating for the album (hence the strong sales of MA, even though 5 of the songs were already released).

-Edit MA shipment broke 1 million copies sometime in Jan. (about a month after its release) And here MY STORY already broke 1 million in shipment a week before its release date. :yes I think Avex has a lot of preorders :cool

lizziemeister 8th December 2004 10:07 PM

HOLY MOLY!! hahas i just got goosebumps. lmao.

Ryoko 8th December 2004 11:21 PM

I preordered mine already, so that's great for Ayu!
