Actually, I think the "1st in every generation" line is probably meant to say "One in every generation." Meaning that an artist like Ayu comes along only once every generation - she's a rarity. But the writer is saying that even that phrase is not enough to describe how good of an artist Ayu is.

Hmmm, in the original article, which is written in Chinese, it litterally meant "over these generations, the first place".
Which means that nobody has achieved as much as her over these years. She broke Seiko Matsuda's record, 20 million total accumulated sales record worldwide, and 7 consecutive years on Kouhaku......
A generation is equivalent to 30 years. the above phrase meant that she is the first artist that are on so many no.1s -- a first time in 30 years of Japan Music industry...... I know this sounded wierd. But that's ayu.
So even I was the one who translated the article, I firmly believe that Ayu is not the "the one who get no.1 " in every 30 years, but she is the one who made a remarkable history in Japanese Music Industry.
I can only say that she is the "no.1 among the no.1s".....
