I didn't expect anything at all. And after how LOVELAND did this shouldn't be a surprise at all. + International fans can't influence oricon sales at all so... why care? As long as the music is great why care? I have the same mindset with ayu. It's great if something does well but I'm not expecting anything anymore.

LOL well you don't have to expect anything but sales or chart positioning is just part of the conversation, the territory. Nothing to get too worked up about. Unlike a lot of other artist pages here, chart ranking is a common conversation or mention worthy post that really doesn't happen much on Miliyah's threads. Yeah it sucks that international sales don't reflect on the Oricon charts, and I might not typically follow sales or charting that much with any artist I listen to but I recognize that sales and charting is still an important factor. The last thing I want is Miliyah to barely be able to release music or to even be dropped from her label (always a possibility if artists continuously don't sell per the standards the record label expects or based on projections for the album, etc. Not that I'm saying she is going to be dropped.)
If I care about it, it is because I like Miliyah, I enjoy her music and as a fan I want her to do well.
Anyway out of curiosity sake, LIBERTY went back up on Oricon's daily album chart.
3/7 - #12
3/8 - #7
I'm really loving that saxophone on Want you back.
