Top 100 Best-Selling Music Artists
I don't know how many people have seen this, but I thought it was a pretty good show of Ayumi Hamasaki's influence.

This is, however, based ONLY on her domestic sales.. And even then, it needs an updated number

the source is 2008, and after 2 years, I believe it has reached 60 million.

From what i saw in wikipedia for ayu asia sales if the numbers are correct. with japan + asia CD sales should be near the 100 million not counting digital. but seeing as how the numbers listed in wikipedia can be added/edit by just anyone, i have my doubts, but i did see some award show that was said ayu had sold over 5millions in asia that year, so im really confuse as to how much ayu has sold outside japan in total. if only japanese singers sales outside japan as well as digital sales would all be counted, im assuming americans count all their cd sales + digital when we get their numbers.
Glay Japan 1994–present Rock / Pop 56 million[189] i had no idea glay sold over 50million Hikaru Utada Japan 1993–present J-pop / Pop / Dance 50 million[234] wasnt utada around her 40million ![]()

Eh, she's been on this list for a few years now. I know I've been seeing her under that list for a while, anyway.
But it's still always nice to read ![]()

Yeah, for Japanese artists they tend to just count domestic sales, which really isn't all that fair compared to Western artists who often have worldwide sales published.
