That is an excellent point. I just took a peek at Seiko's discography and her sales were horrific during the early 00's. (When Ayu was dominating the whole industry).

I think Ayu's career trajectory is going to be very different than Seiko's and the others. She is one of a kind because she is "THE best selling solo artist in Japanese history" so there is a bit of expectation from her.

I do feel that the next A COMPLETE or A BEST will do amazing numbers though. I just think that Ayu should release a HIT single before releasing another compilation.
