Namie Amuro's (32) first original album in 2-and-a-half years [PAST<FUTURE] attained #1 in its first week of sales. With this, she has become the first female singer ever to attain a #1 original album across 3 'generations' in her teens, twenties and thirties.

Namie attained #1 in her teens with albums such as [DANCE TRACKS VOL 1] (1995), and in her twenties with [GENIUS 2000] etc. The current album [PAST<FUTURE] is her 6th #1 original album. [PAST<FUTURE] sold 331,000 copies in its first week, beating her previous original album [PLAY]'s (released June 2007) first-week sales of 251,000. It's been 9 years and 11 months since an original album released by her has sold more than 300,000 copies in its first week.
