Ayu #2 in the United World Chart

United World Chart:

#1 The Beatles - Love
Apple - 436.000 - 2 weeks at No.1

#2 Secret - Ayumi Hamasaki
Avex Japan - 386.000 - Hot Shot Debut


#3 Il Divo - Siempre
Columbia - 339.000 - Largest Sales Increase


Source: http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm

Also want to mention that The Beatles' first week sales (700,000+) were less than Koda Kumi's "BEST ~ss~" (900,000+)!

Those sales are exclusively from Japan. If they had did their job as the World Chart, then they would have included the sales in Taiwan, USA (online orders), etc. it would have passed the 400k mark. But i'm pleased that, with Japan's sales alone, she's on the top 3, while the other albums are there with worldwide sales included. Good job, AYu!

That's because The Beatles are nothing now and that album had zero promotion. If they were still in there prime there first week global sales would be like 10 million.

Wow. #2? I didn't think she'd get that high! And i wouldn't expect even Ayu to beat the Beatles.

No kidding. Beatles are right up there with Elvis and Madonna worldwide. I wish ayu was an international artist, but never gonna happen.

Last year she got number 1, this year she got number 2, after The Beatles, so you can say it's as good as number 1! I don't get why people keep complaining about Ayu's so called declining popularity! I'll shut up now...

Thanks for the news

As well, Japan is known for its' huge crazy 1st week album sales. The largest 1st week sales in the US is ~2m by NSYNC. In Japan, A BEST and Distance both managed to beat that number even with the smaller industry.
