[CHARTS + SALES] GUILTY -- ORICON STYLE

[cloud♥honey]

Ayu performed 1 LOVE in CDTV past year. I hope she will perform Marionette or (don't) Leave me alone.

They don't have a CDL though where they can put loads of GUILTY copies to sell and promote

[ayu_ready?]

less & less sales everyday...so sad

[naxxo.licious™]

We're forggeting it's not the official date. Also, let's remember the HUGE campaign of GUILTY (which obviously said 2008/01/01).
And as someone said before, i think Avex would buy themselves the cd's before losing her #1 streak. It's their proud over the money...
And if ayu loses her #1 streak, she'll still be my queen...

go ayu go go!

[Lee_Hamasaki]

this is sure..she is our queen now and forever!

OMG.... it is going down....
Go ayuuuuuuuu

U R my goddess...

[Kaiouforever]

How is she going to lose her streak? She's been number 1 every day this week. Also, Oricon combines the last week of the year and the first week of the new year, so we still have a while to wait for the official ranking and sales for "first week."

I wouldn't mind if Ayu lost her #1 streak but if she lost it to Kobuhowthehelldoyouspelltheirname, than I'd be piss!

Kobukuro!!


Considering both Kobukuro and EXILE are at their prime, and Ayu is on the cusp of her 10th anniversary, I'm not suprised she is struggling for first against their second/third weeks. Ayu is still one of the most popular acts in the country and a legend. The fact that she is still getting the #1 daily every day so far is amazing, even more so for an album that has had no breakout hit. I have faith Ayu can manage to gain her #1 over Kobukuro, by a small margin, but it isn't anything to be upset over if she doesn't. Every major act has a slip in sales at somepoint in their career, and with Ayu's ambition and fame I'm certain she can make a comeback like Namie and Hikki have done recently. All we can do as fans is keep supporting Ayu, enjoy her music and work and relax.

^ I agree. I think we're going to see a dramatic increase in sales come the official release date, 1/1/08, anyhow.

This album is really good. After listening to it over and over again, i like it very much. Better than secret and (miss)understood. It deserve a number 1 as always.

Except for the Monday, and that's the reason why Kobukuro have the lead.

Somehow though, avex will find a way for Ayu to narrowly get the no.1

-see JE and B&D-

[Kikaru]

But didn't she release her album on Tuesday? Coz I see an extra day for both Kobukuro and EXILE above...

I'm confused...

[truehappiness]

Basically, Kobukuro and EXILE get an extra day [usually it doesn't matter since stuff drops..but.. yeah. this is Kobukuro and EXILE here.] because they released last week. And Ayu was SUPPOSED to release on Wednesday like she usually does, but avex let it out a day before [Mai Kuraki's ONE LIFE, and w-inds' single collection had release dates of 1.1.08 but came out on Wednesday..]~

if the increase is dramatic, no. 1 streak will be secured..if not, something bad will happen to it but i will still continue to appreciate ayu's music.

I agree. I think there is a team in avex to predict the sales and the trend. Why they choose GUILTY to be released on 2008.01.01. There must be a strategy behind.
