You seem to forget that people buy singles on the quality of what's on them as well, not just on promotion. If promotion was the only thing that mattered in the music industry, life would be a lot easier for a lot of artists. My point is, Rule/Sparkle is one of the best singles she's ever released, in my opinion. Both those songs are top notch and Sunrise/Sunset are just nowhere near as good or innovative.
And there was promotion for Rule/Sparkle, she had billboards, a video on music TV AND it was included in a hollywood movie. And what about the promotion you can't see? Newspapers etc.? For an artist like Ayu, it's not hard to find out what she's releasing something new. That's enough promotion to drive sales.
