thanks

I suppose that now all we have is chart life for comparisons :P

I hope it will reach 20. week..

Up one copy from last week! :laugh thanks to the tour this is not freefalling :thud

The total sales for this year don't look so bad! I'm pretty positive Avex will release A Best 3 this year and won't let that chance slip away so lets hope that can do some nice big numbers.

^ I don't think we can expect more than 150k for A BEST 3.......

I want her to release A BEST 3 but it would get better sales if she waits for the "AKB boom" to low down after at least one more year.

If avex release A BEST 3 this year it will be an utter nonsense and an epic flop since another best was released last year and wasn't any success. What ayu should do is more singles and promote her music

^
EXACTLY!
I thought they learned something from A SUMMER BEST. I want A BEST 3 too, but releasing it now is suicide imo. Nothing will destroy her more than flop with the best of her best.
Singles, that's what we need. Stay low, cool down girl and restart with two song, well promoted and not. rushed.

All you said is true but the fact is Avex will never let her have a crappy final revenue they will probably release something :/

Yes :yes , ayu and her new way to release music is horrible, she needs to take the traditional way

QFFT.

She gives no ***** about her streak, I don't know why they just stopped. Ever since her last album with singles she's been dissapearing faster. Sure, she did slow down on her promotion doing lives but she was still fine. Why would people remember to buy her music now when she's hardly in mags, non-existent in TV and her music isn't getting the exposure it could?

People are not buying less for lack of promotion. People are buying less for lack of interest.

Simple as that.

agree didn't buy cause it wasn't interesting to me, the album isn't buying-worthy imo

I totally understand the lack of interest, after all these years, and the consequential drop of sales. But this is not a steady, understandable drop of sales, I think it's a drastic one, and, in my opinion, is in great part because of really questionable marketing choice.

I wonder if the next album, if it's a full album, would sell more

My dear, for "drastic drops" check on Mika Nakashima or Ami Suzuki or Ai Otsuka.

Well, I'm happy it's not so drastic, but still a drastic one for meXD
I was so shocked when I saw the sales of LOVE again, totally didn't expecy them to be so low! And I just thought to say the reason I think is behind it :) That's exactly why I'm worried, if it was her slowly fading from the scenes, well, I thought that's bound to happen. But when I think there's some wrong decisions behind it, I complain. Cause she's my favourite artist and all, and I want her to be successfull, because for me it's obvious she still has so much to give, she just needs recharging and a bit of luck!:)
