Have to disagree with this statement. True, except for H, Ayu has not had the top selling single or album of the year. But look at this: A Best is the second best-selling album of its year, I am is the second best-selling album of its year, Rainbow is the second best-selling album of its year (that's three in a row, four including Duty), A Ballads and Memorial Address are both in the top ten selling albums of the year, My Story is in the top ten, (miss)understood is in the top ten, both A Best 2 albums are in the top ten, A Complete is in the top ten.
M is the second best-selling single of the year, evolution is the seventh. All six of her singles released in the Oricon year 2001 are in the top twenty-five. Five in the top twenty. All Rainbow singles are in the top fifteen. Two in the top ten.
Ayu is a singer with amazing selling individual products. You CANNOT go by sales numbers. You have to judge by chart positions for each year, because economics and technology factor in. But most importantly, I think you'd have to look at consistency. Ayu has just been more consistent than others.
