China sales for Ayu?

[AyumiAi]

I always hear from chinese friends and read on the internet
that ayu sells a lot in china, like 7% of something and stuff, but i dont understand how their sale's system works, does anyone know where i can see how many like copies an ayu cd sold in china,HK, TW, SG?
can that be found anywhere? or how does the like % sales work in china?

I second this.

i know in taiwan they don't give out the actual number of copies sold..but they give percentages out and i remember A COMPLETE & NEXT LEVEL were the best selling j-pop albums in taiwan during 2008 and 2009, respectively

http://www.g-music.com.tw/index.aspx < this is the site for cd sales ranking in taiwan (its all in chinese, no english)

^ That site is only for one major record store branch, there's also others, but mainly...Ayu is usually at top till she gets pushed down by boy/girl bands lol

for singapore, we do not have a proper chart, just like taiwan.

the charts that we see is from the record store only, and even those can be fake. I had once saw a hmv staff stocking up a new single,which just arrive in the store at number 5. How is it possible?

i always wondered if the sales go towards ayu or what?
There are stores that sell cds that look like the real thing and it says that the CD sells in signapore, china, korea but it doesn't mention Japan and it has the avex logo.
Do those sales go towards ayu?

It's probably a state secret or something.

These are overseas press, the taiwan and hongkong paid some money to get part of the copyrights to re-publish the cds and release in certain countries.
I had once read somewhere years ago in a Taiwan avex magazines that the artist/composers/producers/musicians... MOST of the staff from Japan side DO NOT GET any money from the OS press sales, the money ONLY goes to the overseas record company.
that is why the OS press is much cheaper
