I think SC2's cover is worse than SC1's. At least SC1 was quite sophisticated, and made her like a queen of JPop. SC2 was just.... a bunch of stars. I know that it has to do with the first character of her name, still it's so lame.

Also, the tracks on SC2 but the new EP and 3 old singles had over 1 million digital sales (+- half of them reached 2 million). People that could be interested pretty much had everything already.
People buy compilations when they like an artist hits but don't care about their albums... And she never really went through this.

I kinda agree with your last point, but not really sure if that occurred after digital purchases had became phenomenal. Before digital downloads, almost every compilations' sales were big, as Japanese loved best albums so much. I think ayu's albums were pretty much loved (probly except ASfxx), and A BEST still sold like a hot cake. SC1 was yearly no. 1 even tho her first three albums were yearly no. 1 as well. So my point is that I'm not really sure if it's her popularity went downward, or the digital sales affected her physical sales. As I recall, only Can't Wait 'Til Christmas was the only no. 1 digital dowloads out of the five new songs in SC2, and it wasn't that popular until the week before X'mas. I must say I was a little bit worried about her popularity when SC2 released, but Sakura Nagashi's sales proved that her popularity was still pretty good
.
So, is that radio show popular? This is what I wanna know at this moment. (and geez... I forgot that she's doing a radio show until I read the last page...
