oh i know that. I love misono, by the way. And im deeply surprised by how low her solo sales have been. I expected never + land to sell at least 100,000
|
hmm hopefully A BEST 2 will have better sales at the end of the year.
|
I've always considered masa to be a reliable source of information and insight, so as far as "9/11 influence and continuing her career after A BEST" goes, please consider the following:

#16 for -WHITE- ; #18 for -BLACK-.

thats really bad :( :( :( its a best album but kumi kodas best albums sell so much more
|
ayu at number 1 and number 2 in taiwan for the second week.

^ Thanks! I was hoping at least - WHITE - would move up again.
|
At this rate, they may not hit 700K. Hopefully they'll have the staying power best albums usually have.

Why are you talking about relevance when you are talking about the effect of 9/11 on A BEST in a A BEST II chart sales. |

I dunno, i think you can compare B&L to AB2. B&L has two new songs, new versions of her old hits, a new video, and the dance teaching video. A BEST 2 together probrably has the edge due to the new song and the concert, but overall the extras in each Best are pretty much equal. Also, it's not quite clear whether B&L is limited and to what extent that limit applies. I think you can compare them, but you have to take into consideration B&L's possible limitations.
|
#13 for white and #14 for black today! White went up 3 places and black went up 4 places :)
Ayaka's First message went back to top 20 again :O |
thats good they went up :D All the albums above A BEST 2 on the chart except for one album were released after A BEST 2. so I think its very good already its still in the top 20.

Supposedly "Ashita E" was some "omg song" that was penned by some guy as a new songs for B&Lz.
|
the concert would do **** all for the DVD sales, this is just selling on her back catalogue alone. This would have owned second sessions easily if it was released earlier and had a ******** of new material.
|
I think it's unfair to compare AB2 with that -SS- album.
Like, there was a crapload of indirect promotion [12 weeks of singles leading up until the album.. :|] and there's also the fact that Koda was at her peak at the time :| |

|
Uhh, sales progressing like expected. Seems Ayu has set a very definite standard on how her recent sales look. I expect the next week drop will be around 40%.

...and it was just as dissapointing as part of Me <_<
It's ayu equalivant should actually be RAINBOW heh... new, first track of ballad album. |
Hey, I liked part of Me :<

I thought (m)u sold 880K....?
Anyway, I think AB2 will sell atleast 700K, which is good. :] |
That's true... um, my memory totally fails me.
Uh, it should be added to my previous post that I view the two A BEST 2 albums as one album. No matter if it's the same fans buying 2 of it. |

Wow. 670k seems really high to me for some reason! I think it's great Secret sold that much. It's a great album and deserves its sales. |
If you still go to school, think about how many people go to your school and multiply it by.. 300,000. LOL~
That's a lot of CDs. |

Boybands have crap album sales though.
Manbands on the other hand.. |
Johnny's and bands in general usually have high single sales. Solo artists usually have high album sales.
Of course, there are exceptions like Mr. Children since they have both high single and album sales. |
I wonder just what category B'z, SAS, and Misuchiru are under.. x.x
|
They're just bands, i think. Though they're also sort of legends now, lol.

I'll be happy if both albums reach like 800K or something. Ayu's music hasn't dropped in quality, but it's a shame that her album sales have. Quote:
Dunno what the others are, but B'z is the highest selling Japanese music act of all time, with over 80 million albums sold. They've been charttoppers for like...17 years. D: |
Yeah, almost as long as I've been alive! D:
|
A BEST 2 -WHITE- is #10 now!! and BLACK is #11!!! great job Ayu..
now A BEST 2 is on top 10! |
really nice!! maybe tomorrow both a best 2 will be in top ten
|
It's great to hear that 1.9 million A BEST 2 has shipped!

--------------------- You guys act like it's the end of the world because Ayu isn't debuting with 1,000,000 in sales with each album anymore. She's been a massive figure in Japan for nearly 10 years, she isn't the hottest thing out there anymore, but people still love her and her music. Also, I think with AB2, it will stay in the charts for best part of the rest of the year, so it may not sell huge amounts every week, but it will keep on chugging away and will eventually sell a respectable amount. Ayu, like any diva, will have her comeback. ^_^ |
She's already like the highest selling female artist of 2007 in total.
and, if not, then very close. |
she's the coolest person in japan
so it's all good her sales are already amazing by themselves, and jawdropping when combined although i'm still a bit sad that BLACK didn't get #1 weekly |
I think as of now koda is selling a little bit more...with the sales of black cherry, BEST B&L, BUT/aisho, second session dvd...and ayu only have a little bit of sales from secret and then A BEST 2 black and white.
|
Well that's obvious to anyone.
But in the long term, it's also obvious that Ayu has sold a ton more than Koda, so meh. |
Here we go again with the Koda-talk...

'zomg ayu already sold tons more than ayu!!~' Who cares? Kuu is the best :mischief |
Week 5
15 *14,168 *,660,647 浜崎あゆみ (WHITE) 16 *13,265 *,646,264 浜崎あゆみ (BLACK) other info (if you are interested): *1 350,045 *,350,045 大塚愛 *2 *93,946 *,967,827 Mr.Children *6 *32,261 *,241,077 倖田來未 |
Finally a week where sales didn't drop like crazy. It'll be easy for both albums to outsell 'Secret' since it already dropped out of the charts.
|
Thanks icy_iven!
I guess both will outsell "Secret" soon! There's no way it's gonna beat "(m)u". Quote:
|
... i dun really understand why people are complaining... Ayu has been out there for 10 years and the fact that she can still maintain this imply that she is really good already. i believe there are many singers that couldnt even maintain for a single year.
|
^yap...u made a good point there...ayu is already considered very good as compared to other artists since she's going to reach her 10th year anniversay soon
|
Quote:
|
Finally, no 50%+ drop. Hopefully she keeps selling over 10k for a few weeks:P .
It's kind of unfair to compare Kuu's overall sales to Ayu's, since Kuu peaked when the industry was a lot weaker than when Ayu did. |
Just saw the new daily rankings and something weird happened. After so many weeks, -black- is better selling than -white-. This is only the second time in daily rankings that black was better selling than white, since the first time being the very first day. Could this be a new trend? Or is it just for today, we'll see in the next days :)
But both versions will definitely outsell Secret, in 1 or 2 weeks. Now hope for one of them to reach 700K :) |
I can't believe some of you took my joke seriously. Maybe next time I have to put an influx of emoticons for you to understand.
I think she sold very well this week, and it comparison to Mr Children |
Yeah, I think you might.. or some italics or bolds..
Oh well. Her total sales are still really high for a dual release at this point in time.. I wonder how someone else would do if they did such a release.. |
Well 2007 so far,
Ayu: A BEST 2 = 1,306,911 Secret = 170,825 TOTAL: 1,477,736 Koda: But / Aishou = 87,512 Black Cherry = 976,029 BEST ~Bounce & Lovers~ = 208,816 TOTAL: 1,272,357 205,370 difference. I dunno if the sales or any of it for CG go towards 2007, I can't be bothered to check, either way it makes no real difference. Yeah, I pointed it out, so what. :P |
:rolleyes
|
thats for those stats..im glad haa
|
Whoa, I love you Kingofpop! Well I wouldn't really care anyway, but it's about time ayu's beating that koda girl.
|
Quote:
So currently, Hamasaki Ayumi would rank much higher |
Quote:
secret 170 and black cherry 976? black cherry released the 20th of december, not in 2007.. so bc approximately sold 400k in 2007 |
Since Oricon will include anything that sold in 2007, here's what I got
Ayu Secret: 170,825 A BEST: 2,935 A BEST 2 (combined): 1,306,911 (m)u LIVE: 8,268 Total: 1,488,939 Kuu Pre 2007 releases that lapped onto the 2007 Oricon year*: 104,350 Black Cherry: 984,753 ~BOUNCE~: 241,077 BUT/Aishou: 103,696 ~second session~ LIVE: 76,434 Total: 1,510,310 * includes Yume no Uta/~first things~ CD/~second session~ CD/~first things~ DVD/Cherry Girl. So they pretty much sold the same amount so far in 2007. |
ok but u can't count ALL sales of Bc and only 20% of Secret...
|
Quote:
Now to something completely different. I will continue to get extreme pleasure from looking at the sales of A BEST 2 individually and BEST ~BL~ Now I can't wait to see Namie and Utadas upcoming album sales, I hope they do so good which will most likely happen. |
u had miscounted some of ayu sales...secret and (miss)understood arena tour won't sell so low..
|
Oricon began the year with the 12/13 week, so Secret's first two weeks aren't counted in.
|
well, it woul donly be fair to count the total sales of Secret, and to be honest Ku had more releases.So when u put it like this, Ayu's still selling just fine.
|
ahhhhh?!!!leave kuu out of this focus on Ayu's sales. one is not better than the other come on now! i thought you guys stopped this..Ayu was banned from being talked about in the kuu thread... because it upsets alot of people. i love them both why can't fans co exist...
|
If people were more mature, there wouldn't be a need for a ban. I guess some people just can't resist starting innane fights over artists.
|
A BEST 2 sales are doing great ^_^
|
I don't see why people think it's "unfair" since...
Quote:
|
^ people are trying to upset ayu fans either it be intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone has different taste in music. Its nature people dont hate ayu as a person or kuu i hope. They just dont like their music...
|
You know, shouldn't any talk of Koda be banned from the Ayumi Hamasaki forums section of this forum? :|
I mean, it's not like there's any real reason for her to ever bring her up in an Ayu news thread.. [I'm just being real here. :<] |
^ Very True, should be banned 110%
|
But didn't you say it was inevitable?
|
The problem is, people should be mature enough to compare sales between two artists without everything turning into a flame war. I don't understand why Kuu is the one coming under attack all the time anyway. At least she and Ayu are on the same label; Ayaka's new album outsold Secret by a lot yet no one's complaining about her.
|
Ayaka deserves to sell that much.
|
Quote:
|
Ayu's really gonna fall of the charts soon; but at least it's awesome that it's still IN the charts now.. Almost all of the albums that are in the top20 are quite new releases..
|
Combine her shipped n sold copies we've got more than 3mi, that's really something.
She's still far beyond the very top artist of Japan. |

Stop it from being inevitable by stopping it altogether. :| |
