Why are Namie Amuros sales so high?

If you look at the covers for her older albums (and Namie's covers), you can see that the covers tell stories, through fashion and backgrounds. What stories do the covers for Colours and A One tell besides "I'm lookin' fabulous"?

Well, my point was that I don't feel any of the recent covers - Namie's or Ayu's - tell a particular story (Exception being PAST<FUTURE?), although I do like Namie's more often than Ayu's recently.
