The sales will most likely drop down by half tomorrow. Yes there are many artists doing worse than she is, but that can't possibly be used as an excuse for anything. There are other artists like B'z, DREAMS COME TRUE and Mr.Children who despite the fact they've been around for so long still sell amazingly well.
I honestly wonder what makes them so popular still... It's obvious it's not the music. Not because they make bad music or anything but as someone mentioned quality doesn't matter on the charts. I know why Arashi is popular, but these three? Maybe B'z makes sense....

Anyway, I find no harm in hoping as long as you can deal with the reality. The reality is unless something big happens, her sales are not going to go up. But this album definitely deserves higher sales... But "deserve" got nothing to do with it.
