On the comment about less competition =/= more sales but only higher ranking, I don't think that's true because, think about it as a consumer: on a week with more competition, that probably means a few artists that you like are releasing on the same day or something--some people might not have the money to buy all the releases of the artists they like so they pick or choose. So if Ayu and ____ released on the same week and some people are fans of both, then they'd have to pick one, and inevitably some would pick ___ over Ayu. Which means Ayu would have lower sales.
That's just in theory, but Ayu doesn't usually release on a week with steep competition, so we don't know what happens if she does. (The only competition she had in her releases that I remember were A BEST with Hikki, Free & Easy with Mai Kuraki, HEAVEN with a surprise--not sure who they were, and same for Mirrorcle World.)
