That's great :D Thanks for the info!

'independent'= the single 'H'. if i remember correctly, the single, 'First Love' was either released in late 98 or early 99. this is the top 50 list for singles released after 2000. i'll let u think about it...

That's great!
Vogue, NEVER EVER, Endless Sorrow, and Dearest JUST came short of the list;
vogue - 767,660
NEVER EVER - 756,980
Dearest - 750,420
Endless Sorrow - 765,790
They're likely in the top 100 though =] =]

1,229,970 600,860 Dance sight morning of - loves the daughter

THIS is supposed to be Koi no dance site - morning musume. hehe

Thanks for posting up the translation.

I'd glad she has two in Top 10, that's a great accomplishment.

Utada has many too.. Can you Keep A Secret is one spot above Ayu! ^^ Congrats both of them. No Kumi/Ai though..

Thanks for the information. :D

do you have the singles sales from previous years like 2000 and before?

Wow, I didn't know SEASONS had sold that much o_o Congrats to Ayu though! :D

she's not number one, my life is over. :dead2

:laugh

go ayu though, nice to see her up there multiple times, and hikki too!

I agree. :yes I love the H!P. They're so underrated :P
