[ayumisrael]

Yeah it's out of the top 30 >_>.
Well even DREAMS COME TRUE's albums is almost out of the top 20. x_x

[waterballoon]

There mst be an onslaught of new releases, I guess. I predict it'll climb up slowly to the 20s... then gets pushed down to 40s come next week... lol.

true

I support 12 Johnny's artistes & I must say that some of TOHOSHINKI's stuff are good like Bolero , Survivor

The only artiste I know that's releasing an album this week's VAMPS's self titled debut album

they probably is the main cause for this LOL

[ayumisrael]

The top 20 are full of new releases today though XD

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I hope it will go up again!

If Ayu's and Namie's music were in anyway similar it would be ok to say so, but since Namie did eurobeat and her lyrics were very different I'd say that's unlikely, plus Ayu's albums sold way better than Namie's in her peak, which means there were around 2+ million people who didn't buy Namie's albums but liked Ayu.

[noidea]

wow, 6th week was better, so it will have a longer chartlife it seems

[TITANIC]

NL has steadier sales than GUILTY

[njanjayrp]

It seems that it might have a very slight chance of beating TRICK in the end as TRICK is now selling less than 1k and has sold around 383k copies. Go NL!! The difference is only 29k now.

[AyuGAME]

c'mon NL 400k please...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i'm generally satisfied with these sales, so with every copy that gets sold after this, it'll be a pleasant surprise

[inspire_rmx]

really hope that it can break the 400,000copies sales mark thou it definitely will have to take awhile.. GUILTY has realli amazing first 2weeks sales.. hopefully NEXT LEVEL will continue to sell ard 4000copies a week ^^

*sigh* obviously someone didn't get the point : ( The point is you shouldn't label other artists as fan stealers just because you don't like them. Its offensive to fans of that artist and rude. Anyways music similarity is subjective if I'm not mistakened. I don't think THSK songs sound similar to JE songs at all, but I personally think some of namie's music at that time and ayu's do share similarities. Not a lot but some songs do. Thats just an opinion v_v. So lets not label other artists as fan stealers, and then make ayu an exception. How about we make it even and just say all artists can recruit new fans : ). I think thats a better way to view it : D

Anyways I don't think Next Level will beat Trick because Ayu's sales position might be steadier but her sales is declining pretty steadily. Thats just my guess, but I think the sales difference isn't that huge for it to be impossible. we'll see : D. Go Ayu! Show us what your album is made of haha

I didn't say DBSK stole anyone's fans ^^ DBSK occasionally have songs that some of the JE groups could do, but their music is pretty different than what most of the JE's are doing. I like DBSK (at least some of their stuff).

Namie and Ayu are like Rikku and Sora. I was just saying that you can't say that Ayu only took over the Namie fans as Ayu had way more people buying her albums than Namie did, while DBSK still aren't selling better than most of the JE acts.
