[Old] Ayumi's Total album sales break 20 Million copies
Japan's songstress Ayumi Hamasaki once again broke her own record of 14 million copies by adding the sum to 20, making her the best seller in the industry.

If we count the "Nothing from Nothing", her maiden album way before she joins Avex Trax, Ayumi has already released 19 albums in total. That is 5 Original Albums, 1 Compilation, 13 Remix Albums; as for the singles, Ayumi had now released 41 so far (28 original singles, 2 Remix Singles, 8 Re-Releases, plus 1 Charity single feat. KEIKO). Which what we have now is a overwhelming total of 60 releasements.

Such achivements were said to be the one and only in the Japan, or even in the world. (Is this what they say as Never Ever?)

Here's some recap for Ayumi's Achievements:

1998 : 5 Singles (510,000 copies sold)

1999 : 7 Singles (4.41 million), 3 Albums (4.44 million)

2000 : 8 singles (4.98 million), 6 Albums (4.65 million)

2001 : 17 singles (4.61 million), 5 Albums (5.52 Million)

2002 : Due to the changes of Avex's Marketing Strategy, Ayumi had only released merely 4 singles (2.57 Million) and 5 Albums (4.86 million)

Note :

Ayumi's Best Selling Singles & Albums

Singles :

"A" (1.63 Million)

"Seasons" (1.37 Million)

"M" (1.32 Million)

Albums :

A BEST (4.3 Million)

Duty (2.9 Million)

LOVEppears (2.6 Million)

By the way, Ayumi's rival Utada Hikaru also scored 15 miilion of sales worldwide! Keep it up Ayumi!

i hate it when those ayu bashers say ayu's sales isn't as high as so and so and that she's just wasting too much expense on advertising that doesn't make sense...etc etc

so prove they're wrong

Sorry for being so idle in the news section, I just got my internet connection back but regretably it's the old 56k. I went to the telecom company and they THEN told me that my new home was over 5 kilometers away from the nearest broadcast station..... whatever. My new home was only situated for merely 2.3KM from my old place and this is all I get.

Moreover the electricity here is very unstable. Almost everyday there were black outs and I encountered thrice in 2 days. My mum even told me it's better off at my old house. WAKE UP!

The moral: Never accept a house from your rich relatives. Buy your own house.

His report didn't include remix albums, but only her "real" albums such as those with new songs, not remixed ones. Either way, that's still awesome to have more than 20 original albums and singles sold. Much congrats to Ayu!
