this came from ayuchina but it should be reliable since their posted singles sales was the same as the ones Unimatrix Prime posted.

now you can comment. :yes

edit: forgot to add, this chart is from 12/03 until 08/04

EXILE did better than Ayu? Oh boy. I wonder what Avex makes of that. >.<

And I don't see the fairness in Utada selling that many of her album when it's just a best album and there's absolutely nothing new on it. :dead2

Ah, well, Memorial address was only a mini-album after all. Pretty darn good for an album that's smaller than some of her old singles. :laugh

Thanks for the info. :)

Ayu beat CHEMISTRY with a mini album? At LAST!!!!!!

And about EXILE...Ah c'mon it was a full album and you know how japanese freak out for boy bands so.....

It's really not funny when Hikki's album beat the next, Misuchiru's "SHIFUKU NO OTO" by like nearly twice their sales. I'm a Hikki fan and all, sure, but this is somewhat disturbing.
Anyway, I thought Mai-K hit a million with "Wish You The Best" already? Hmm.
Congrats to Ayu breaking the 1-million mark, although the distance between her sales and that 1-million line aren't as great as they used to be. Hopefully the fact that this is a mini-album explains it. And why is BoA there? Seriously - why aren't better people like ELT and LOVE PSYCHEDELICO in there? Sheesh.

Memorial address was released in 2003, so not all sales are counted I think, that's why she's not so high. But it's also a mini-album that beats so many albums =)

I aloso find that Hikki sales for the singles collection very disturbing. is it really real?

This chart counts sales from 03/12~04/08

utada got 1 M more sales!!!!!!!! unbelievable the disparity cant be that great!!!! what makes people sooooo drawn to utada and it isnt even an album just a compilation??????? maybe all of her songs have subliminal messages, hypnotizing all its listeners to buy her cd.:D

P.S. her exodus album is bad X 100 = awful + horrendous

like many times i said..its Hikki..-_-"

yeh
ayu is the best

It is Hikki! She could talk about the weather and the japanese people would buy it! ^^ :rolleyes

I love Hikki and it's great that she sold soooo much CD's :-)

It should be real. The collection did sell 1.4 million first week.

Yes it's real. The Single Collection sold more than 600.000 Units in the Second Week ... :yes

Dissapointed by the release of Memorial Adress ..
she could have just wait for 1 or 2 months to create mroe songs ..

Yep it's for real, Hikki ablum sold loads :Yes, But gald to see MA doing pretty well since it only a mini album. Wasn't this infor. was posted be4 :think

it is quite disturbing when utada can sell so much everytime.. =\, but sorry, i dont know why i just hate utada right from the beginning she debuts :shrug ... but ayu really did well for a mini album!!!!

yeah, great place for ayu!! the 5, is ok!!
Hikki is great, too!!

very happy to see Ayu get 5th!

Very pissed to see Hikaru get 1st and beating 2nd place by 1 million sales. So overrated. -.-

d00d, I'm glad for Hikki, but jeez, it shouldn't of sold that much at all.

Go Ayu though, M.A. = gold!

wow. i knew M.A. sold more than 1 million, but number 5?
congrats to Ayu !!
