"アーティスト・浜崎あゆみの通算10枚目のオリジナル・フル・アルバム『NEXT LEVEL』（25日発売）が、発売1週目で24.1万枚を売上げ、4/6付週間アルバムランキングで首位に初登場。浜崎にとっては1stアルバム『A Song for ××』をリリースした1999年以降、10年連続でアルバム首位獲得となり、デビューから11年連続という前人未到の記録を達成した。"

Traduction:

Le 10ème "original full album" intitulé "NEXT LEVEL" de l'artiste Ayumi Hamasaki (sorti le 25 mars) a totalisé pour sa première semaine 241.000 exemplaires vendus et est entré dans le classement hebdomadaire des albums (daté du 04-06) en première position.

Pour Hamasaki, dont le premier album "A song for x x" est sorti en 1999, cela constitue le record inégalé de placer pendant 10 années de suite un album à la première place du classement, et elle est la seule artiste à l'avoir fait pendant 11 années de suite depuis ses débuts"

(source: AyuAngel.com)

Because NEXT LEVEL has for it's first week totalized 241.000 albums sold and is No 1 (week 06/04 of Oricon), Ayu become officially the 1rst artist to be ranked No 1 of Oricon first week album's ranking during 11 years (from her "debuts")!

Congratulations!!!

in 2008 she released AC and got #1 so she has album #1 every year

I think it's the same thing with the singles; she's the first (probably female solo) to have a number one full (studio or compilation) album every year since her debut (which is a period of 11 years).

A BEST was released in 2001, I guess making her in contention for this record.

she deserve to be 1rst artist

Congratulations chon chan

That's great news!

Actually, when I saw the thread title I wasn't sure if it was good news or bad news! xD I'm glad it's a nice record~

AyuGAME · #12 31st March 2009, 10:26 AM

i don't understand what she achieved...but congrats anyway

I think it's saying she's the first artist for all her albums to go #1 for 11 years since debut. So, no other artist has had consecutive number for 11 years ones since they've debuted?

GUILTY was #2, but was #1 for it's first week so maybe they've counted that.

No, GUILTY never got #1, not in the first week nor the 2nd week.

The Oricon article is saying that Ayu has a #1 album EVERY YEAR (not EVERY ALBUM)

MY STORY is in the 2005 chart because Oricon counts all the CD released after late November into the next year. So, Ayu has at least ONE album with #1 in 11 years

Really? I thought GUILTY got #1 in the first week, but then Kobukuro had a super boost during GUILTY's second week which managed to overtake GUILTY, causing GUILTY to get #2 when you count 2 weeks together.

awesome!!! glad to see they counted GUILTY as it should have been...

Long Live AYU!!

I even don't understand. Oricon means she won at least one #1 album every year since 1999. So, in 2008, she couldn't get #1 for Guilty, but she won for A Complete.

BUT, in 2005, she didn't get #1. MY STORY was #1 at the end of 2004, MY STORY Classical got #4 in 2005.
The following link is the list of #1 ALBUMS in 2005, but ayu's album is not listed (sorry the site is written in Japanese)

Umm,, can someone explain what Oricon actually means??
