Honestly, I put all the Japanese artists at the top of the list when you take into account that their albums are in much more limited distribution than the rest of the artists who you can find pretty much anywhere around the world - the Japanese music industry is a monster.
^ I think exactly the same. I think that the American industry should stop complaining about piracy and ask themselves why the heck does Britney release an album and it sells 800.000 in the whole world in the first week, and why a Japanese artist can do the same just releasing it in Japan. American music industry is losing its old power imo...

Not only that, but Britney will not achieve number one of the world charts due to two Japanese groups. In her first week of release, Exile ballad best came out and sold around 950,000 copies. Now in her second week of release, Mr. Children comes out with an album that sells somewhere in the range of 700,000-800,000.

At some point music producers in America need to wake up and realize that the direction American music has been going in for quite some time now is a completely crappy one. A lot of it I think has to do with overall degradation in the quality of the music, lack of lyrical depth and lack of depth to most of the artists themselves. That is generalizing, but when you look at the whole of popular American music right now, I think its pretty accurate. I still love American music, but pretty much all of it comes from pre-2000.

Neat. Ayu has such a strong fanbase which supports her 1st week sales. Now if only her sales could be as consistent as some of the artistes up there

I agree that the quality popular American music is declining but i think you should look at the sales trend for following weeks as well. Albums on japan charts almost always decline quite drastically in subsequent weeks but US albums can still sell hundreds of thousands in later weeks. The most i give Exile is 2 million but i'm sure Britney will go over that. This is only the first week sales, maybe there's no need to read too much into it.

LOL Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

Anyways, congrats to Ayu cause she totally deserves to be on that list. And, of course, congrats to Britney as well.
