Oooh good news. XD At least it bet Koda this week. : D

HOORAAYY it can beat koi no tsubomi
damn ultra blue beat M(U)
thanks for the info

ahh, thats still pretty tight. koda kumi could beat ayumi at any time

Not bad, not bad! Thanks for sharing!

Great analysis, thanks! Remember though, (m)u had an extra week, so it technically is a 6 week total and Utada's leading by a long shot.

Plus, BLUE BIRD isn't gonna beat Koi no Tsubomi with the sales dropping drastically every week while Koi no Tsubomi still moves a good number of copies weekly.

haiz...dunno

i jus want Ayu to ganbatte!

Koi no tsubomi is a 1 a-side, why are you proud of a 3 a-side single have beaten Koi no tsubomi..... just wait for 4 hot wave XD

4 Hot Wave will be massive! I'm happy Ayu is still going strong still in the charts!

Wrong...
 

Blue Bird is not a 3 a-side single. You're misinformed.

Well I considered the 653k that oricon gave out as 2 weeks, so it's even.

BLUE BIRD is also a 1 A-side single. Koi no Tsubomi just has 1 new song on it, whereas BLUE BIRD has 2. Also, Koi has 2 versions, and BLUE BIRD has 3 versions.

Lower than my expectation
But thanks for the info!

1st post updated w/more info.

I'm very happy with the 4 week sales. :yes and seriously who cares which single or album beat whos...Kumi is at the top of her career now but Ayu's not.. so it make sense that Kumi have bigger sales than Ayu...its not easy for a solo female artist after all these years in the business still have good sales, and still be at the top with the current popular artist....even though her sales dropped...but I don't care...I'm just waiting for her 10th anniversary:)

Scary how close BB is to KnT. Hopefully m(u) will still be making sales around 1K.

Ayu should of had a drama tie-in. I think those numbers are very respectable in times like these, but I can see that some people will be disappointed.

AYU BEAT KODA this week and that's aLL that matters! =)

And if she doesn't beat Koda in the long run, this week being beaten is still all that matters? :)

I'm really interested in seeing if (m)u is still hanging on to the 1k sales.

Sales for BLUE BIRD as predicted... let's hope it'll keep it up.

BB is still doing good. Go Ayu!!!
