People over here act as everyone loved Ayu, or Hikki, or Namie, but numbers show that nobody was selling to everyone at any time, not even close...

And even worst... There's a recent poll asking people what was their favorite Namie song divided by eras... while her 90s had a massive voting for "Can you celebrate", her later eras had a massive voting for "Never heard any of those songs", even if Namie is peaking and leading the albums charts since 2008...

Very interesting! Thanks for the information! Gives better perspective.
