New Record for Ayu with NEXT LEVEL !

Quote:

"アーティスト・浜崎あゆみの通算10枚目のオリジナル・フル・アルバム『NEXT LEVEL』（25日発売）が、発売1週目で24.1万枚を売上げ、4/6付週間アルバムランキングで首位に初登場。浜崎にとっては1stアルバム『A Song for ××』をリリースした1999年以降、10年連続でアルバム首位獲得となり、デビューから11年連続という前人未到の記録を達成した。"

Traduction:

Le 10ème "original full album" intitulé "NEXT LEVEL" de l'artiste Ayumi Hamasaki (sorti le 25 mars) a totalisé pour sa première semaine 241.000 exemplaires vendus et est entré dans le classement hebdomadaire des albums (daté du 04-06) en première position.

Pour Hamasaki, dont le premier album "A song for x x" est sorti en 1999, cela constitue le record inégalé de placer pendant 10 années de suite un album à la première place du classement, et elle est la seule artiste à l'avoir fait pendant 11 années de suite depuis ses débuts"

Because NEXT LEVEL has for it's first week totalized 241.000 albums sold and is No 1 (week 06/04 of Oricon), Ayu become officially the 1rst artist to be ranked No 1 of Oricon first week album's ranking during 11 years (from her "debuts")!

Congratulations!!!

wow!!
great news for Ayu...
thanks for the info :)

YAY FOR AYU!~ although...i dont understand whats going on too well~ lol!~ *So stupid of me*

time to go to sleep....=__=;;..

ooo congrat ayu! she's awesome!

very good news! congrat ayu~~

yeah!!! that's amazing news to hear ^^ so the total first week sales of NEXT LEVEL is 241,000? that's kinda good.. hope that it will start strong enough to hit the 400,000mark next week *finger crossed*

GUILTY is number 2 rite??? I dont really understand what oricon trying to say.

I think it's the same thing with the singles; she's the first (probably female solo) to have a number one full (studio or compilation) album every year since her debut (which is a period of 11 years).

A BEST was released in 2001, I guess making her in contention for this record.

she deserve to be 1rst artist

Congratulations chon chan

That's great news!

Actually, when I saw the thread title I wasn't sure if it was good news or bad news! xD I'm glad it's a nice record~

i don't understand what she achieved...but congrats anyway

I think it's saying she's the first artist for all her albums to go #1 for 11 years since debut. So, no other artist has had consecutive number for 11 years ones since they've debuted?

GUILTY was #2, but was #1 for it's first week so maybe they've counted that.

awesome!!! glad to see they counted GUILTY as it should have been...

1st and 1st??Im confused anyway
GRATZ TO OUR AYU!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

I even don't understand. Oricon means she won at least one #1 album every year since 1999. So, in 2008, she couldn't get #1 for Guilty, but she won for A Complete.

BUT, in 2005, she didn't get #1. MY STORY was #1 at the end of 2004, MY STORY Classical got #4 in 2005.
The following link is the list of #1 ALBUMS in 2005, but ayu's album is not listed (sorry the site is written in Japanese)

Umm,, can someone explain what Oricon actually means??

^But MY STORY was released on the Oricon year of 2005.
In oricon years she's the only female solo artist in those 11 years that got #1 for albums and singles every year in a row since her debut.
Oricon give awards and achievements according to their own years.
The oricon year stars around mid (around 10th-15th) December and ends a day before hand.

Awesome =DD Another achivement only ayu can have!

I find it so odd ! ^^ !

Oricon? one chart for japanese singers? a BIG chart?
