Yeah #16 today, went up!
Non of the female artists did amazingly well by far this year, it's not only ayu that her sales are average.
Even if hikki's TITO album would chart for year I doubt it will sell more than another 80,000-90,000
copies and it would still be less from 300,000 or what people expected. The album didn't reach 200,000 yet and it already sell around (maybe will 5,000-6,000 this week?). A lot expected at least half a million for that one. For BoA's best, everyone could totally ignore the english album and get the CD only or CD+DVD of the japanese best.
Also kuu's TRICK even if it sold more than NL and not in huge amount, it still didn't do amazingly well, if ayu's sales blown mika's on the recent years kuu did it by way higher numbers.
So ayu's state is not the worst and she still can get some slack.
