Wonderful position

yup she out ranked exile and kumi. Not bad, I'm happy to see namie as usual in the top along with utada.

That's awesome, I'm also happy for BUMP oF CHICKEN :yes

Oh wow, with zero releases. If she releases an ALL TIME BEST album next year it could get really good sales digitally :yes

errr top 50 only?

So Kana Nishino's appeal is still strong... i supposed she won't go for mature songs again for a while then.

^such a pitty. i used to like her music. but her newer stuff is just bland and everything sounds very similar to me

Oh Ken is there. Not bad.

I like ayumi and all, but 50 is barely “fair”

IMO its pretty impressive considering she didn't release anything and is considered by many a has been for at least half a decade now.

You are aware she hasn’t released anything this year and that she outranked so many people that had albums and singles released thsi year?

Hey guys I don‘t now where to write it, but Ayu is actually with A COMPLETE at #11 at the iTunes Album Charts :)

That's great but A Complete costs only 400 Yen. That's 4 Dollars !

^People wouldn't be getting it even if it was for free if they weren't interested.

Reducing the cost of her compilations is a good way to make people remember why she got that big in the first place.

That's seriously such a beautiful picture of her!

Oh deer I ttly wuzent!!! 😒

:roflmao

her position is okay

She did chart well for an artist that didn't release anything but I don't think 50 is something to get excited over.:laugh

Position 50 is not the best, but artists like EXILE, GLAY, Koda Kumi, Superfly, miwa, TWICE, flower, miliyah, B'z, MISIA, E-girls, X Japan are below Ayumi and a lot of them have released things during 2017.
