Possible cause of Ayumi's shrinking Sales

[ayumisrael]

Declined? her best selling album was in 2001 - A BEST which almost sold 4,300,000 xD and after that I am... sold around 2,300,000 and her album still have good sales (I mean 600,000/700,000 is still considered as good it's tones of money) of course not like millions and it's declining but it can't be helped... the whole industry falls down and yes, it's the reason and it's the fact.

that doesnt make sense. how can you say 600,000 is as good as 4,300,000????? it certainly is not.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to even reach 1 million nowadays?! XD


Oh well. I still think that there's a hole in which her fans in Japan need to fill, soon.

They all kinda just "left" after HEAVEN. WHY?! lol

"Bold & Delicious" was a bad move, that's why. Even though a few international fans liked that song (not me though), it probably didn't for her Japanese fans. It was such a different sound...

i personally think that was the risk ayu made when releasing B&D so close to the release of (miss)understood and even as a single. it suffered but who's to say if she didn't release it earlier people would be more interested in it?

even if it fits into the discussion, is this thread even about B&D... :/
