Hmm, good or bad it's still an indicator, as obviously there are currently more popular AVEX artists than she is and somehow they rarely get as many performances as she does, not to mention the number of those that are aired. Even though both TRF and globe were there, they don't (or rarely) release stuff now days as their sales have hit the very bottom, unlike them she still sells better than the majority of Japanese artists and is still very relevant when it comes to Asian music market.
Btw I remember someone also mentioned that some people also leave before her performances or in the middle to avoid the crowd after the show.

I don't think anyone said you were lying, just that you obviously can't know the opinions of 120 millions of people and reflect them in your post. It's obvious she is far from her peak and all..
