Comparison with other female solo artists that are doing better in this oricon year:

Namie Amuro - _genic 227,962 debut: 1995
Superfly - White 129,091 debut: 2007
Taylor Swift – 1989 90,555
JUJU - Request II 77,836 (COVER ALBUM) debut: 2004
Nishino Kana - with Love 75,720 (in 2015, total: 257,032) debut: 2008
miwa - ONENESS 70,246 debut: 2010
Ayaka - Rainbow Road 65,216 debut: 2006
May J. - May J. W Best -Original & Covers- 61,988 (BEST-OF ALBUM) debut: 2006
Ohara Sakurako - Happy 52,421 debut: 2013

Ayumi Hamasaki - A One 52,192 debut: 1998

Koda Kumi - Walk of my Life 50,013 debut: 2000

sixxxxxx's first week sales are just 3,5k lower than A One's first week sales. And A One's total sales are just 1k lower than Colours' total sales. Considering sixxxxxx is only a mini album, it is doing well. Beside Namie and Superfly, no other female solo artist managed to sell 100,000 this year. This shows how everything in the market has changed. However, Ayu is not doing great, but not bad either - currently, she is number 10 (with A One) of female solo artists in this oricon year. If you combine the sales from A One and sixxxxxx, she is number 4. There are 3,5 months left until the oricon year ends - let's see, which other female solo artists will release an album.
