huh.... that came out of nowhere... i think..

It's been on sale for $5 since August, it was number 1 weekly for a couple of weeks in September and October too.

ohhh what?? That's very surprising

The album did pretty well this year actually, but top 3 overall it's something big <3

And I'm happy for Hello new me too!

I think we talked about A BEST's success on the mobile front earlier this year...

wow that's awesome!!
ayu is still at it!'congrats ayu!

that's cool!!! A Best reign forever...even now it's charting on top 3

Yay, A BEST doing so well. :)

I wonder why? Nostalgic people? Well, it's really cool, especially when most netizens say she's over.

There was a huge sale for some reason where Best of albums were being sold for a reduced price for a while. Ayu's did the best.

I glad it did this well though =)

I can't feel the impact of hello new me

Hello new me is such a non-song to me but cool that Japanese people liked it enough to download it but pretty much every other song on Colours is better.

and you know what...A Best back to number one...

A BEST is creeping me out tbh lol. But hey, the fact that her past releases are getting noticed probably proves that she is in fact a legend.

It's awesome! It's also cool that it jumped back again to #1 lol.

Hello new me is #47 yearly on chaku uta and #86 on full song.

i think her Movin' On without you cover
made all the jump! :) Hikki-fans that don't listen
to Ayu at all perhaps suddenly became curious
and DLed A BEST as an introductory album.

Why not. It's onsale now :)

"Hamasaki Ayumi. New Album. A BESTO. Now On Sale"

LOL

That's the point, It's on sale again, just like the first time. ;)
Great nevertheless that it is so high in the yearly ranking.
Just shows, how damn popular old or classic Ayu is.

Haha, that's awesome!

What a legend!

off-topic..but ayu's rendition of Movin' without you is #7 on iTunes Japan j-pop chart and #9 on all-genre chart

Even though A BEST was and is on sale I think that it's important to mention that there is a large number of best albums that were offered for a sales, the interesting point is that A BEST is topping them all. =)

A BEST is #1 again lol

OMG, does it mean that Ayu's getting new fans? Or is it more of nostalgic purchase of people who used to listen to her?

A BEST is so strong

That's an amazing feat!

great news!!

That's so nice for Ayu. Congrats ♥
It would be nice though if her latest works would be more recognized.

Again, 1st for this week and 2nd of December (zutto single is 3rd)

Go Ayu! Yay!

Wait at Zutto single being 3rd! O_O It seems the A BEST success helped to raise a lot her digital sales.

It's great, yet really sad at the same time... : /

Wow, A Best really seems to be helping Zutto... in sales, that's great!

i want to know how many people downloaded the single digital >.< if its that good that it charted in the first 2 weeks #1 and #2, there must be huge numbers!

I wanna buy A BEST for $5.... WHERE CAN THIS BE DONE?!

That 24hr NonStop Party Music album in slot 4 looks pretty intriguing. I wanna check it out.

i hope this proves how timeless her songs are..even though she has a lot of recurring imagery in her lyrics, it's very broad and it's easy for the listener to relate..or, at least, that's how it is for me :)

but, yay! i'm so happy for ayu!! TA 4EVA!!! <3
