as the general category ayu rank??

In the female category, I think she's ranked #2 since Matsuda Seiko has 24 cosecutive #1's.

As for the general category I know that B'z, Mr. Children, KinKi Kids and Matsuda Seiko have more than 17.

i have a sad feeling that Ayu will never make to 24-consecutive #1's. :/

[TITANIC]

so ayu the fifth..
need long time to make 24 consecutive at #1..
but it is very hard i think...

[freedreamer]

haha awesome! she is STILL no.1!

[ayumisrael]

^It first needs to happen xD

[Raleigh]

With avex's careful planning it could be possible. How many consecutive singles she has at #1 right now?

17 (including t2m), which means she needs 8 more to have 25 consecutive #1 (24+1)... It might be possible and then she'll break the overall record.

this would mean like 3 more albums at least...

As long as B'z keeps releasing, I don't think she'll ever reach to overall record.

[Raleigh]

Yeah quite possible if avex plans it out well.

[marekcarey]

seiko is how old already...ayumi is still young.so i think she can make it))

[Luv ~Venus~]

Well, seiko can still put a #1 out here if she could (I think). Don't never doubt the ability of an older singer especially Seiko!

Anyway, Ayu's sells are lookin' so good. She only got 3k yesterday which is not lookin' good if she wants to achieve the 100k in the first week. I think she'll have around 90k when the week ends.

[namiie]

^ Realistically? With how quickly sales have slumped? I'd say 80k (if she's lucky) by the time the week rounds out. It's a couple thousand shy of 60k right now.

I apologize for bringing this up but it seems after L'Arc, Exile, Hikki released their singles, all of the other singles just had low sales! Coincidence, maybe?! What is going on in the music industry?!

Someone posted a quote from another forum earlier analyzing the effects of OTHER record labels on the music industry. Ayu and Kumizon are both on avex and suffered sales slumps after the summer; "glitter" and "FREAKY" both sold more than 100k the first week and t2m and "Ai no Uta" haven't. It's probably because the mu-mo connection now allows people to download in advance, thus less people buying the physical singles. It happened for Tohoshinki too. I don't know about EXILE though.

Whereas Laruku and other bands on different labels had relatively consistent first week sales.

Well, couldn't Avex have just cut down on downloading like instead of letting the whole single be for download but letting one song be for download? That's the solution I prolly would have done but than again I'm not AVEX excutive or manager or whatever. It's like Avex want both things to happen: Good downloading and good physical sales...but that ain't happen no more since consumers have there own mind now! *sigh*

@MemorialAddress08: It'll be okay! Like fanmail said, it'll pass 100k but not in it's 1st week...the same happened to B&D.

I think "Chaku-Uta" = mp3. mu-mo is one of the many companies that distributes them?

Well for FREAKY and THSK's SUMMER, it's pretty obvious why they had the spike in sales - it's because of the multi-song single effect. As for glitter/fated it had more promotion (with the Distance Love thing) and it could be because not many people in Japan actually like talkin' 2 myself?

EXILE's 1st week sales have also been consistent and they're part of avex. (SUMMER TIME LOVE released in May had 90k 1st week sales and Toki no Kakera/24karats released in August had 95k 1st week sales)
