Yeah TVXQ's BEST SELECTION 2010 broke a record for... something I can't remember LOL but the first week's sale was 413k... that's impressive comparing to falling album/best sales nowadays.
Though it's right that AKB48's best would probably have like maybe a high first-day sale and then drop drastically over the week, it still depends if avex wants Ayu to "keep falling". IMHO, when GUILTY lost the #1 weekly spot to Kuribohkubo (omg how do you spell this) I think avex was really quite shocked.
I don't think things have reached such a stage where avex wouldn't care; it's obviously not as important or as prestigious as before, but no record company would want their top artiste to be on a falling trend...
