Well, I guess we now have to wonder how many tens of millions in sales we have never known about because Oricon doesn't count it in their ranking...?

I know Ayumi is the only Asian singer to make Forbes, but now I really want to know what her actual total career sales are. The best we have is 64.5 million from Oricon.
