Let's have a guess... back then when there was no digital downloads, I think weekends were the time when casual listeners buy singles. Nowadays some of those casual listeners prefer downloads, so the boost is getting away...?

Yeah, it's been happening for months now, so you might be right + Sunrise had a jump back to #1 on Chaku-uta Full.

Sunrise/Sunset isn't at #1 now? wow.

Does she has other singles that has done the same thing? I haven't really followed her singles' chart life that much I could say I know anything so I won't.

This is true but I personally don't care. But I gotta say that now that Ayu isn't the ultimate sales' queen I like her more. To me she's like a normal artist now. I have noticed this since she has some struggling at times on charts imo. But it's ok. It makes this more exciting imo.

If you really like an artist you don't need to have standarts for liking him specially if he/she sells high or low. Liking an artist =/= sales.
Mirrorcle World was the last to be #2 daily for some days on its first week.

Also, isn't namie your 2nd favorite artist? She just sold a million and a half with an album and that's way over what a normal artist sells, why not liking her less then?

im sure sunrise will have some staying power in the charts as the drama airs the song in its opening sequencev doesnt it? those who hasnt warmed up to it still has time to do so then

ayumi hamasaki Total Sales By Far of 2009

Spoiler:

Euh it's here xD All her products of 2009 = 868;209 in August So near a million, she can reach it I think =)

**ayumisrael** · #**367** 16th August 2009, 02:13 PM

With what S/S sold until now ayu already sold 937,577 copies in 2009 oricon year.

rakeru · #**368** 16th August 2009, 03:17 PM

she probably won't be able to sell a million only with S/S, but the next single will definitely do it. *crosses fingers*

waterballoon · #**369** 16th August 2009, 03:24 PM

@ayumisrael: I think you have misunderstood Powwo... I guess she just means it's more interesting to see Ayu as "normal" in the charts and all rather than being "untouchable" as she had always been. haha

Hmm... #2 again. This is B'z's 2nd week right? Are there some weird promotions or something going on for them now???

Meat Pao · #**370** 16th August 2009, 03:31 PM

^ well, B'z is after all very popular in Japan

njanjayrp · #**371** 16th August 2009, 03:52 PM

I wanted to say something, but forgot what >.<

kiseki89 · #**372** 16th August 2009, 03:55 PM

WIll S/S be able to get no1 for weekly?

the 1st A-side of B'z song ie. Ichibutozenbu is currently used as the theme song for the drama Buzzer Beat which stars NEWS's leader Yamashita Tomohisa aka Yamapi as the lead role

the drama airs every Mon on 9pm from last month which started on the 13th all the way to next month

so that's why in a way sales are still pretty consistent for B'z

but anyway despite the fact that S/S is #2 still , I think it shouldn't be a problem to get #1 overall in the weekly chart which's all that matters to me

freedreamer · #**374** 16th August 2009, 04:24 PM

its constant..thank goodness hahah

njanjayrp · #**375** 16th August 2009, 04:34 PM

^ Yup. That is at least why their sales are higher than of their few previous singles. Sadly I think it's gone for good XD

**ayumisrael** · #**376** 16th August 2009, 06:12 PM

Oh well, what's important is that it will be #1 weekly. =D

TITANIC · #**377** 16th August 2009, 06:29 PM

I remember B'z latest single release a week after MW release as well but their sales just less no more than 1K compared MW. and this time they release a week after ayu again but leaving ayu toooo far..
lolz

Evolution7/4 · #**378** 16th August 2009, 06:36 PM

GREAT NEWS
Sunrise is offcialy the number one song on iTunes Japan!!!!! It beat out Noriko Sakai's song (one of the only few left on iTunes after her drug incident). Thats really huge since Sakai fans have been showing their immense support. the Pv retains the tops spot as well!

Bigtop · #**379** 16th August 2009, 07:24 PM

Hopefully there's not much of a problem for Ayu, only because that B'z single was released one week ago, so there isn't any way they're going to reach number 1 again, effectively making Ayu having 21 singles in a row #1, and already over 30 singles #1, but there's still five singles left to break the #1 singles-in-a-row record...

rakeru · #**380** 16th August 2009, 07:51 PM

*sigh* i forgot that there was still 5 to go... with the way sales keep declining, i wonder if that's possible. but you'd think avex would want to capitalize on an achievement like that, so something's gotta happen.
