It was a internet survey conducted 08/29 - 08/30.

Kuu topped the full ranking!

01. Koda Kumi
02. Kana Nishino
03. Perfume
04. Ayumi Hamasaki
05. E-girls

You can see the news e.g. here:

Till now I didn't believe Namie's retirement would change anything for Kuu, but maybe it might eventually?
I actually predicted this. I wrote my master thesis on japanese idils and all the sources on Namie stated that she left a void when she went into her maternity-break which was rhe only reason artist like Ayu had a path to rise to fame.
