I think it would make the yearly sales drops seem far less drastic if we knew that she was selling well digitally, or doing really well internationally. I'd hate to think I've been sitting over here thinking Ayumi isn't all that popular if her albums are still selling 500k globally. :\

50 millipn physical sales + 30 million digital sales (coming from Recochoku) and 500K globally is a bit much...
