Yes and no, the discount helps a lot actually. There were a couple of weeks they removed the discount and immediately the album fell of the charts. I suppose that's why they put the discount back, better to sell a lot with the discount than to not sell well at all...
But you're right that there must be something else, there are other best albums with discount, but A BEST is the one slaying the charts for over a year now. Maybe people still remember it's extreme popularity back in the day and when they see it with the discount they think "why not? I remember it being awesome" and download it
I think this says a lot about Ayu's popularity among the general public. They may not pay attention to her new releases, but the public still love her old music.
