This year, on the mid-year charts, the 3 singles they released occupy the first three positions. Ayu id my fave, but AKB48 is deffinitely more succesful than she ever was, both chart-wise and culturally
^I agree, but imo, they (AKB48) will never make a big impact. Ayu was big in a new, exciting way. AKB48 will fade, there might be a new group called HalfOfJapansPopulation900000 or something, but they will never make the same difference in the music industry like Ayu did.
