It is indeed quite a big drop, at the same time it's still doing good consider ayu's current popularity. I think it will sell over 500K at least in the end this week.

there's no excuse for A COMP, with, oh A BEST2 was 1 year and a half befor this... bah 3 songs and 3 PV in the BF were in a single only 4-5 month ago, everybody got it and even that its not a problem to buy again.. this is like the 60s70s80s single was inside the BF all (only the instrumentals are left ¬¬) and 8 of the 12 PV (without the 2 new and teh 3 60s70s80s) were included in a FILMOGRAPHY compilation at the end of 2005...
That's the reasons because A COMPLETE shloud sell more than BF, and its not because i prefer 1000 times ayu than namie... if I liked the same ayu and namie, i love them teh same way and i had 35 € to buy something... i would but A COMP. although in this hipotethical situation i loved the both...
But okey, ther's still some days before the final of the first week and we can wait for a miracle... MW did that, but well ayu isn't doing the good promotion she should do.. TV performances, some more magazines... but well..
today sales aren't too bad for Ayu but is a big drop and is not what A COMP should sell...
bye!

It's not about excuse of A BEST 2 being sold a year ago (while it's part of the reason), and it's not about quantity obviously.
Anticipation is the key factor. I believe both best albums have its quality, but namie hasn't released any best album for 6 yrs, and currently she is really popular. Yes, the songs in 60s 70s 80s were included in BF, but that's what boosting up BF sales, as there are not many people buying that single.
I dun even know why many of you compare A COMPLETE with BF. Ayu has her own statue. She doesn't need to compare with anyone. The only person she would be compared to is herself. As long as A COMPLETE is selling well it's already a success.
