Copies sold in Asia, copies sold after the album drops off the Oricon etc...

I don't think this counts Asia sales... I remember reading some article about A Best (and Distance, it focused on the Ayu vs Hikki thing) and the A Best Asia sales reported was a lot more than the official Oricon sales...

avex's figures are based on copies of the album that were shipped, IIRC...not necessarily copies sold, which is what Oricon keeps track of.

No on the website it's well said that it's the copies sold lol nothing about next level though ...

Looking at sales of music CDs by title, our representative artist, “Ayumi Hamasaki”, sold 840,000
copies of her single “Endless sorrow”, 720,000 copies of her single “Dearest”、and 700,000 copies of
her single “UNITE!”. Her continued popularity contributed greatly to sales. Though released near
the end of last fiscal year, her “ BEST” album sold 610,000 copies in the interim period, reaching
total sales of 4,510,000 copies. This success should enable “Ayumi Hamasaki” to mature as an artist
eventually capable of leading the Japanese music industry.

Avex sold them, but to stores, not to individuals. What Oricon tracks are sales by stores to individuals. Some of those are in stores but were never sold from there, meaning they are in avex's numbers but not "real" sales.

Oricon count most of Japan's stores/sites orders as long as it's in Japan.

avex's numbers are shipped copies sales though it's wierd that FIVE isn't certified platinum.

Those are most likely the numbers of copies shipped.

Record labels are notorious for inflating record sales so take with a pinch of salt.

Of course ORICON is extremely flawed for a variety of reasons. Does not take into account digital sales, does not take into account sales if it's not in the chart etc...

^ clearly stores expected it to sell better than it did. For that time those sales for a best album are very very low.
