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. |
I agree.
There's usually a turning point for a discount especially when it's been going on for a while. Maybe @pimenta 's point is right, people still remember ayu for he past works. If that's the case, they should have a double promo like combining A ONE with A BEST or sth.
But I've read somewhere that recochoku has sharply decline since the rise of internet downloads. so maybe even the sales of A BEST doesnt have that significant impact on ayu.
Anyway, thanks for updating the charts! so glad to see that A ONE is still on the top 50.
