Mika and Laruku scored low.. but I'm happy they're on the list SOMEWHERE, rather than being not on the list at all
Hurray for AYU! #4 is still great

Well, Koda Kumi did release a best-of album, which usually sells a lot. Also, secret, another album. Plus, she had many, many singles too. (you, flower, Promise, Star, Birthday Eve, Butterfly, Hot Stuff)

Well that makes no sense at all since Ayu's numbers are higher than Kuu's.
