Okay, let's just say BoA's first BEST album sold well. But look back in the year 2004, and compare her singles to Ayu's. Despite the fact that the Japanese music industry is going downhill because of music downloading, Ayu still maintains her sales to about 400,000 copies. Whereas BoA, on the other hand, sold less.
You can't really compare a BEST album to an original album in Japan. BEST albums tend to sell more because they contain all the HIT songs in it and fans would like to listen to all the popular songs in just one CD. BoA has yet to gain the same popularity as Ayu, unless BoA's upcoming single sells more than 500,000 copies, then i would say BoA is getting more popular than she used to be.
