wow look at ayumi go :O

Ayu Rules~ XD

WOW! She got in two places!
Way to go, Ayu ~o(^O^)o~

Ayu's the only one on there twice. :D

Lol dominance.

Awww man.

Namie's right under Britney and Madonna.

She beat Mariah, Beyonce, Janet Jackson!

Go Namie!

LOLZ of course! B/c she release 2 album!

Anyway, here's my thread XD It seems that few ppl here not go read Asian Music Chat n only read news here...

GO Ayu!!! Nice to see she beat out a few American artists!

Shweet :)
Nice to see her twice on there.

Great to see Namie so high too!

Ayu may not have placed as high as others but I think having two spots on the list is more than enough compensation for that. :D Go Ayu & congrats to Namie.

wow! congrats to AYU~

Im kinda dissapointed... Also does Oricron only count Japanese sales? Because i would think Ayu would sale more then that in Taiwan, and China.

Ayu ftw! N1!

Wow, congrats to Ayu! And even more congrats to Namie! She really deserves it! :D And Im still a bit grumpy about the fact that Kingdom got more then GUILTY...
Thx for posting the info!

ooh, YES! she beat so many US artists that need to stop making music.

lol, of course since she is the only one to release two albums.

Honestly, I put all the Japanese artists at the top of the list when you take into account that their albums are in much more limited distribution than the rest of the artists who you can find pretty much anywhere around the world - the Japanese music industry is a monster.

YAY!!!

wooohooo 9th and 18th in the world charts!!!!!
:breakdanc

Thats great for Ayu! Two places! Also nice to see Kuu on there ^^

wow really nice.
But AC sells more than it o_o' strange chart.

Anyway thanks
