'independent'= the single 'H'. if i remember correctly, the single, 'First Love' was either released in late 98 or early 99. this is the top 50 list for singles released after 2000. i'll let u think about it...

[evolution7931]

That's great!
Vogue, NEVER EVER, Endless Sorrow, and Dearest JUST came short of the list;
vogue - 767,660
NEVER EVER - 756,980
Dearest - 750,420
Endless Sorrow - 765,790
They're likely in the top 100 though =] =]

Thanks for posting up the translation.

[Cyria]

I'd glad she has two in Top 10, that's a great accomplishment.

[Mad_Cactuar]

Utada has many too.. Can you Keep A Secret is one spot above Ayu! ^^ Congrats both of them. No Kumi/Ai though..

[lotusoka]

Thanks for the information.

[RubbishMui]

[Qt Mashi]

[sexysaucestar]

Wow, I didn't know SEASONS had sold that much o_o Congrats to Ayu though!

[ohsixthirty]

I agree. I love the H!P. They're so underrated
