I don't think people will STOP listening to Ayu because she is not number one. There is
nothing wrong with hoping your favorite artist does well on the charts. It leads to better things and better opportunities. I know it is kind of annoying when people "complain" about sales but what's even more annoying is when everyone b--ches about people hoping for good sales. From now on I'm gonna be like "Ayu got number one! Damn it, I was hoping she'd get number 10! WTF!" Seriously people, why wouldn't you want Ayu to do well?
It just would be a wonderful thing if she continued the streak at least up until her 50th. She's so close to overtaking Seiko's record - it'd be a shame to fall short at a time like this.
