I see B&D and t2m as two songs that would appeal more to people that aren't fans of Ayumi and would therefore purchase the song on iTunes, rather than buy the whole single. I feel like B&D and t2m pushed more of the casual listeners away from buying the singles, but I think the iTunes ranking show that maybe the two songs are well-liked by people not interested in typical Ayu pop.

BTW, I think she's probably using the 'Top Songs' list.
I don't think Ayu used iTunes to see songs' popularities.. but rather to simply listen to them. I wonder if she has an a avex credit card hooked up to her iTunes so she can her own songs..
