(If I forgot you, please tell me!)

thank you so much for that. i never knew exactly how powerful she was/is in sales.

wow that is so kool!!

and also some of her singles are limited :yes
oh u should mark the ones that are limited

soo manyyy, wow 41 mil :\

Which ones are limited?

i found these in hamasaki-republic.org

the following are limited quantity
appears: 300,000 copies
kanariya: 300,000 copies
Fly high: 300,000 copies
AUDIENCE: 300,000 copies
Daybreak: 300,000 copies
the other side ONE: 10,000 copies
the other side TWO-FOUR: ??? copies
excerpts from ayu-mi-x III: 001-006: ??? copies

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

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

What is the source of these numbers?

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.

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

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

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...

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

Does anyone have the real numbers of Moments then?

[EDIT] Never mind, i found it.

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

^^ Of course, hehe!

oh my... I'm just impressed
