LEOyumi 2nd April 2005 04:21 AM

Is Moments sales correct? If it is, I thought it had sold better.
Anyway, great numbers, thanks a lot!

PickleCookies 2nd April 2005 04:28 AM

Ayu has had 10 albums that've sold over 1 million copies. You've only listed 9.

nmskalmn 2nd April 2005 04:42 AM

What is the source of these numbers?

Coelacanth 2nd April 2005 05:00 AM

A BALLADS should be counted as over 1 million... http://www.mnet.ne.jp/~hbr/index_e.htm

Yes, I'm surprised that that low number too.

tl1029530921 2nd April 2005 05:12 AM

didnt Ayu have 5 singles that sold over 1,000,000 in a row or somethin..o_o?

Delirium-Zer0 2nd April 2005 06:08 AM

Not 5 in a row, just 5 total.

gakkun 2nd April 2005 06:59 AM

I don't trust these numbers...MY STORY has gone over 1.2 mil according to Oricon and Moments numbers are wrong.

Mizumi 2nd April 2005 03:18 PM

I don't like numbers so I'm not gonna say anything... It just doesn't matter to me how much she has sold... Anyway..thanks for the information...

Halla 2nd April 2005 03:42 PM

thank you , but can you post the sources where you collected this info too?

Does anyone know how much has ayus european trance-singles sold? I've been wondering if she's sold more in EU (i think 2 European priced singles equal one US priced album?) compared to utada hikaru in the US

elepop 2nd April 2005 04:14 PM

Does anyone have the real numbers of Moments then?

[EDIT] Never mind, i found it.

CT_Cool 2nd April 2005 04:59 PM

WOW so many cd's :eek
well just shows how good her music is :yes

elepop 2nd April 2005 06:14 PM

^^ Of course, hehe!

kirika 2nd April 2005 07:14 PM

oh my... I'm just impressed
0_o

Cyria 2nd April 2005 07:36 PM

It's nice to see all the numbers together, I think 40+ million sales is very impressive. By the way, can anyone explain why Daybreak had such poor sales? Even if it was limited (only 300 000 copies made?), about 180 000 seems quite low.

SnowDrop 2nd April 2005 08:57 PM

Do you have the total sales for her dvds? I'd like to know how well they sell too. :)

tl1029530921 2nd April 2005 09:01 PM

extepan 7th April 2005 05:18 PM

why is the moments number wrong?

no, apparently it is just because the japanese music market slumped. not related to mp3s

isaac hiew 8th April 2005 05:01 PM

May I post this up in the ayumi library section? You and Hamasaki Republic will get credit for this.

elepop 8th April 2005 11:35 PM

^^ Sure. ;)

LeButler 9th April 2005 02:24 AM

Here's an equivelant "top artists" list for the USA:
http://www.dailycelebrations.com/RIAA.htm
Ayu would be about number 32 overall on that list, or about 5th or 6th place if only counting female solo artists. Edit SEE POST BELOW

It's about 100 shipping containers worth, 20x30x12 meters. Similar to 10 billion pennies (image from megapenny site, note the little person for scale):

http://81.86.162.188/perm/ten_bill_A.jpg

PickleCookies 9th April 2005 02:55 AM

Actually, LeButler, the RIAA list only includes album sales. http://www.riaa.com/gp/bestsellers/topartists.asp
So, Ayu wouldn't be on the top list, because you counted singles.
She's sold around 16 million albums. Which, I would say is about 32 million in America. I'm not too sure though.

NyoNyo 9th April 2005 06:07 PM

Oh Wow, so great!!!

Ayu's really a Queen of J-Pop!!!

well.... they don't include the downloaders and.... piracy buyers :(.... if they add it, the rate will be higher :P

isaac hiew 12th April 2005 02:14 AM

asongforxx, I hope all of the numbers are right? If you can really confirm the final numbers (I know they are adding up, just give me what you have truly confirmed) and then I'll post that up, while you and Hamasaki Republic will get the credit. :)

ruixiong89 14th April 2005 04:10 PM

Haha, and that's NOT including the overseas versions! I mean if you count all the Ayu CDs, the legitimate ones (Japan and overseas versions), you can probably add another 1/4 of the total amount of CDs that she has sold onto this current number of CDs!

kendelle 17th April 2005 10:40 AM

Wow, that's amazing. But then again, it's not a surprise, considering her talent ^_^

SunshineSlayer 17th April 2005 11:22 AM

They just did a special on Music Station where they ranked all of the artists by total sales and Ayu is #4 in Japan. I imagine that by the end of her career she will be #1 on the list by a long shot considering that the 3 artists above her in sales have been around for a lot longer.

Utada was #9, so that should put the "who sells more" debate to rest.

but ayu releases way more than utada...wayyyyyyyyy more.

Eu-Gene 20th April 2005 10:58 AM

Go go !!! Ayu

amiamimon 23rd April 2005 01:33 AM

wow thats interesting :9
thanks for the info!!

elepop 23rd April 2005 02:06 AM

I'll add the "STEP you/is this LOVE?" single sales a week after the release.

ayu_fan929 28th April 2005 03:08 AM

i think that the moments numbers ARE RITE cuz the sales of moments n carols were like the same....according to oricon, moments is #19, carols #20. opening week for these 2 singles was like around 160-170K, so i think that these 2 singles did sell around 300K
as for overseas versions, i dunt think many ppl OUTSIDE of japan would buy the albums...(just my thought)

Neil 15th May 2005 08:46 PM

Wow. Impressive. But saying that she does release extremely rapidly, but still... Very good :)

Dimi 16th May 2005 08:17 AM

WOW! I'm speachless! This is quite impressive oO! WOW

..:DisarO:.. 16th May 2005 09:10 AM

It's a lot of CDs. O_O Two of them are in my room! =p

from what I see, people outside japan do buy the album,, a lot of them. I remember going to HMV Singapore where about 5 people in front of me bought MY STORY. I guess the overseas version should be counted too, coz that version is the one released worldwide

Endlessoul 22nd May 2005 10:59 AM

So ayu owns 9 million albums, but not 8 only as they say~HU~

Beyond the Sea 15th June 2005 03:56 AM

No wonder Ayu pays so much in taxes! I'm proud of her though :D

RaveMoon 4th July 2005 08:36 AM

Good god, Ayu's sold a lot of albums. Whether the numbers are correct or not, the fact that she's sold AROUND that many....wow. O_O

Tasked 20th July 2005 05:22 PM

In it's 13th week, STEP you / is this LOVE? has reached the 340,000 mark. Credits by ILA. Exact sales numbers: 340,250

I would have to disagree. Ayu ranked #3 top seller on the WORLD CHARTS last winter when she released 'MY STORY'.

AYUready342637 27th July 2005 11:19 PM

the figures were 100% from japan. she sold 500K for a week, shes going to make the WORLD CHARTS, every1 would if they sold that kind of number for a week.

*Petit* 7th August 2005 11:44 AM

ORicon annual from last year, CAROLS was still in the chart for one or two more weeks after this was published. So yes, 2004 single sales weren't all that great. No big hits for Ayumi . But I think that HEAVEN ang fairyland will do better, at least HEAVEN. Looking at the top sellers there are movie tie ups.

Seems like this year's single have done wayyyy better than last year. Except for "B&D/Pride" which haven't reached 200,000 copies yet.

Qt Mashi 27th December 2005 04:59 PM

ayu_fan929 28th December 2005 04:46 PM

B&D/Pride is now at 124,645.
HEAVEN is now at 324,794.

andre2907 28th December 2005 10:41 PM

I don't know about the singles sales, but some of the album sales are wrong.

DUTY didn't sold 3 million copies, it sold 2,904,420 million copies.

I AM didn't sold 3 million, either. It sold 2,301,020 million copies.

Loveppears number is right (well, almost: 2,562 million copies).

RAINBOW numbers are right, too.

MY STORY numbers are wrong, too. I know according to someone translation the album sold over 1,3 million, but believe me, this is WRONG. According to the ORICON official database the album sold 1,1 million.

A SONG FOR XX sold 1,451,910.

And A BALLADS sold 917,555 while in Oricon (it's probably over 1 million now, but it's her weakest selling album).

This numbers WHILE in Oricon charts.

I know it's straight from Oricon, what I'm saying is that in their OFFICIAL DATABASE the number didn't change and the official database is still official, while some news ISN'T. I'm not saying she didn't sold that, but the official number is still 1,1 million until Oricon change their database.

the problem is it is official. if oricon types that number out n puts it on their website, then it would b official. if it wasnt official, they wouldnt put 1.3m sold in the 1st place, they would put 1.1m sold.
