Ayu did rather well for 2009 considering that these other acts were so much more wildly popular. As far as I can remember, 2009 had Days/GREEN, Rule/Sparkle, AT08, NEXT LEVEL, Sunrise/Sunset, and CDL08-09. It seems a little weird that Ayu made it to the top ten with just that... |
That's quite a lot of stuff actually.
The other people in the top list released a lot too. So often times this list is more of a "who released the most products this year" top 10. Although occasionally you'll get people who just really had a humongous seller and that's enough to put them there. I think this year, Mr. Children was that only exception because I think they had just 2 releases counting. I think a better list to make would be one that shows the number of releases in proportion to the amount sold. It's still a nice achievement to be in the top 10, but Avex is definitely smart to have her release so much even if it might be to the detriment of her own health though unfortunately.
oh btw, I guess that bump in Next Level sales was from the double week? That would make more sense since it seems everyone's albums got bumped up and it would put it around the "controversy" articles time.
