Well, mainly we can blame it on fans of the other artists being all confused on who to purchase from and all that xD :x

What post-BEST album craze? She released Sakurairo in early '05 and the BEST in late '05.

oh sorry i was really referring to CRY NO MORE and for BoA, everything after DTM.

Perhaps there won't be any female solos in the top ten this year? Last year only one made it; Mika Nakashima, at number 10.

for 2004 there were only three, COUNTING GORIE. I guess the trend is going against female solos and it's continuing this year.

Let's just hope that Ayu can make it to the top 10 this year with her new mega-summer release! Last time she was in the top ten was when "&" was released....

OMG!! Ayu 1st album didnt break 1 million!!!

Question. Did MY STORY reach this many sales as fast as (miss)understood did (approximately 4 months 20 days)?

If (miss)understood's sales continue like this, it may very well take her until 2007 to reach one million. MY STORY took a year.

MY STORY passed the million in 6 weeks after release, which was around late January 2005.

Oh, it did? O_o I must be thinking of A BALLADS. So (miss)understood isn't doing too good, is it?

^(m)u performed quite well considering the current status of the market, but not good enough for Ayu's standard =(

Yep true.. Maybe standards have to be reset?

Sales seem to be picking up again.. This week's one sold over 200 000.. Maybe the sales will go all out like a few years back? And Ayu's next single might really break a million. It depends on promotion I say..
