Ayu Million Singles

[URANUS]

WOW, i just checked the Planet Charts and realized that Ayu had many singles that have sold over a million mark. I didn't realize that, i always heard that "M" was the only single that sold over a million mark, but no, i checked and SEASON, H, A, UNITE, etc......all sold over a million! Is it really true? I mean, is Planet Chart reliable? Or is it Oricon giving out wrong info?

UNITE! never hitted the million mark

thanks for this site! i will incorporate the info into the ultimate sales thread

[Shiso]

Oricon does not include overseas versions sales and some of the internet shops sales! I read on some website, that for example YesAsia's sales don't count in Oricon...

If you count overseas version I think all single between 2000 and 2003 sold over a million.

Yeah i know alot of people who bought all her singles in the years 1999 to 2002...from yesasia.

[lolo66]

not only that, but they also make it known that not even all off-line store sales in Japan itself is counted.

my entire ayumi hamasaki collection are all off yesasia.com as well...well over 25 items

.... welll if yesasia isnt counted... then many2 of ayu stuff hit 1 million ^^

[extepan]

far away 'only' sold about .5 million. i doubt it hits 1m even counting the online sales.

[kournikova]

mmm yeah i think so... far away has the least number compared to the other (vogue - seasons)... coz maybe it has a long instrumental ^^ but honestly i love far away more than vogue or seasons ^^

Makes me wonder if US artists count online sales in their figures...

I haven't been able to buy that much Ayu stuff online, but yeah- when I do ((this weekend XD )) I want it to count towards the total -_-.

[lolo66]

I have a feeling they do.
