The market isn't like that anymore.
There've been a few million selling albums in the last couple of years, so they do still happen. They are just rare as heck these days. I may have overshot the runway with a million, but I think it will get close. This isn't just a best album; it's a retirement album, which in Japan historically have sold huge. And even just her original albums are still selling several hundred thousand copies (true Genic was her lowest, but even that still sold over 250,000; and Uncontrolled in 2012 sold half a million by itself). Plus it has actual value to it as it not only has new songs, but will also be containing, I assume, many singles that have not been put on any album yet.

Actually, I think I just reconvinced myself. lol. It's going to hit a million.
