I wonder if the lower sales is because of the heavy use of english. Uncontrolled did well because its a best of album, I wouldnt say because of the content; in my opinion feel was better in that aspect.

i thought of that too!!! it's almost an english album '-'

Uncontrolled had the hit song Love Story, many singles to help promote the album, while FEEL only have one. Uncontrolled also have many, Many tie ins, ex. NAKED cm song, Fight Together theme song of One Piece, Tempest used for a drama, S!S!W!D! drama theme, Break It cola cm, and ONLY YOU was the song used for UEFA Euro 2012. Uncontrolled was her 20th anniversary album which definitely helped the sells as well.

good point.

niiicee

I have to agree with this. I don't think this album will sell more than 420k copies in the long run. I think releasing a compilation album next year seems highly likely. After the phenomenal success of 'Best Fiction' I can see her next best album selling great as well.

First Week and Second Week Sales:

STYLE: [93,142 + 36,718]

QOHP: [201,524 + 91,236]

PLAY: [250,619 + 90,506]

Past<Future: [330,742 + 87,210]

Checkmate: [252,889 + 83,114]

Uncontrolled: [292,098 + 79,003]

FEEL: [247,689 + 52,007]

thanks!

Undeserved sales.
Should sell more.

^ cant agree more..maybe more promotion would have been better. I cant get over how much I love this album and it hasnt even sold more than Play..not knocking play because i love that album too but I would have expected at least the same amount of sales. Wth is japan listening to if its not the album lol

^ In general, I feel around Tokyo this album had a lot less promo than Uncontrolled. Also Uncontrolled had a hell ton of great tie in songs. But Uncontrolled overall imo, is just an ok album. When an album is just ok, people get more cautious about buying the next one. So unfortunate because FEEL is by far the better album imo.

Great sales but I don't want her to drop a lot from the previous album. I hope it will manage to pass the 400,000+ copies soon.

How many copies did it sell the previous week?

Great sales but when I first saw 24,249 for the 3rd week I thought it was a bit low for Namie. I hope it'll be stable.

^

yeah. i thought about 18k ^^ nice

I think it can sell 400k

She was number 4 on the daily chart yesterday. Good. Another week inside top 10 for sure.

hopefullly it will reach 400k '-'

Somehow even 400k seems doubtful
Unless it consistently sells and doesn't drop like Uncontrolled
But.... Namie's first platinum only album?
