according to statistics, that's not true. Party queen sold about 53% of of what Love Songs sold a year before. Granted, it sold about 67% of the total amount of FIVE, but that's a mini album and it was put out for sale 7 months before Party queen.
Ayu's sales have been steadily declining, but as far as I know for a studio album, she's never ever had such a steep decline in just a year. Love Songs sold 85% of what RRC sold which sold about 84% of NL. NLs sales were considered quite bad, but it still sold 66% of GUILTY which was released a bit more than a year before. Compare that to PQ 53% of LS sales and not even 100% of a mini album with 5 songs. MY STORY as we know outperformed MA. MY STORY did about 58% of RAINBOW but that was two years later and RAINBOW was released towards the end of ayu's peak. So overall I think it's safe to say that PQ has performed below legitimate expectations and that it wasn't a well received album in commercial terms, even if it didn't "flop".
