Partially true, but in ayaka's case it will be different. There's a stable fan base for hikki (let's say currently at least 700K people will still buy hikki's album no matter what). Also, in general public's eyes, hikki tends to give a better performance on single songs AS WELL AS album songs. Therefore, people feel "safer" to buy her album.
Ayaka is still pretty new to the industry, and it's always a formula that when the artist is quite popular with the debut, his/her 1st album tends to sell better. Once the heat is leaking, the artist will fade off unless s/he has been providing better music as s/he goes on. Ayaka didn't do too well during the last year, so I dun really see her next album will be a million seller at all.
