Well, it was expected. Her sales now are similar to Ayu's during the Love songs/FIVE era. It will probably reach 200-250k on the long run.

Never did like that smiley with its mouth open like that. Completely conveying the wrong emotion.

Spoiler:

Or the right one.

Not if she will keep dropping like that. If so then she will skip right to LOVE again, since FEEL to _genic has a Rock'n'Roll Circus sales skip lol. j/k

Her sales are still very good in general, however I'm actually surprised she is dropping that much. I never thought the drop from FEEL would be that big.
If namie is lucky she might outsell Taylor Swift's 1989 in Japan (220,000+).
If _genic will have a huge longevity though it just might get close to ayu's Love songs or even Rock'n'Roll Circus sales.

It depends on like the 3-4 first weeks and eventually the longevity.

[S4MU3L]

I guess she is not gonna released an album without preview singles now lmao.

[TeamAyu2004]

I still dont know why she is doing mostly english... but the sales are pretty good. Feel seemed to have so much more hype, but I was also in japan at the time so that might have had soemthing to do with it.

[melissalove]

^ hopefully, but sales are dropping like a cannon. After this namie will rethink an English album in the future.

[Delicious n Bold]

Queen's gonna need her next Best Fiction era real soon. (This album is giving me Style teas in terms of sales and even concept to a degree) Then we need QOHP 2017.
But in the end 90s00s10s is coming.

Yeah it is quite the drop, especially with the fourth day being below 10k.

[UHPlus]

Actually I'm pretty disappointed and also expecting this. But when I look at those numbers and other female soloists' numbers, it's still freaking awesome!!

Day 5
Position: #2
Sales: 10,075


Total: 148,724

[Luck16]

I expected the drop but I also consider it to be quite big... she'll be lucky to pass feel's first week with _genic's total but I think it's possible

Either way she's still the top female selling artist in Japan but now it's more than evident her flame is running out but it's to be expected and tbh she sustained place at the top for a great number of years since she had that second breakthrough (2008)

I think Kana has a chance of being at the top now... she's really consistent and her digital sales are amazing

[mizuki-7]

that's funny that people think that Amuro is the best selling female singer in Japan since 2008 while this is false she is at the top only since 2011 ... just saying ^^

I'm really surprised by this drop I didn't expected it to be that big !! Although there are no tie-in she is still promoted like hell on Japanese TV, magazines, radio, all around tokyo etc... well it's still good sales but yeah this is a decline compared to her past album probably her worst since "Style" (2003) !

I thought you were talking about album sales sorry.

[CoriKaru]

Makes since. 2008 was Utada's last Japanese Album. Namie's had practically no competition since then. The field has been hers to reign.

She's been babysitting it for Utada though, ya'll.
