With her new A BEST and another 1 or two studio albums, she'll be #3.

I'm not sure where she ranks on the charts, but she's sold around 33-35 million CDs, and it's higher than Namie. I would say within TOP 10.

Well she's already the best selling solo artist. Considering how Mr. Children and B'z are still releasing and selling a lot these days, it's kind of hard for her to surpass them.

I think they based the rank for the total albums and singles sales... It doesnt only count for an album...
