Most consecutive #1 singles for a female artist belongs to Matsuda Seiko with 24. As for the general category, it's B'z with 39 consecutive #1's.

Basically it represents the stores that don't count sales every single day (but every week) and I also think it represents the internet orders.

If Oricon started counting online downloads, it would cause the end of Ayumi's #1 streak, I believe.

Oricon publishes daily sales every day, but the daily sales do not include every shop. They count all the included shops during the weekend. Thus, the daily sales are multiplied by 1.75 to give people a rough idea on how the single might sell in its first week.

In the female category, I think she's ranked #2 since Matsuda Seiko has 24 cosecutive #1's.

As for the general category I know that B'z, Mr. Children, KinKi Kids and Matsuda Seiko have more than 17.

so ayu the fifth..
need long time to make 24 consecutive at #1..
but it is very hard i think...

[freedreamer]

i have a sad feeling that Ayu will never make to 24-consecutive #1's. :/

^It first needs to happen xD

With avex's careful planning it could be possible. How many consecutive singles she has at #1 right now?

17 (including t2m), which means she needs 8 more to have 25 consecutive #1 (24+1)... It might be possible and then she'll break the overall record.

[Raleigh]

Yeah quite possible if avex plans it out well.

this would mean like 3 more albums at least...

[marekcarey]

seiko is how old already...ayumi is still young.so i think she can make it))

[Luv ~Venus~]

Well, seiko can still put a #1 out here if she could (I think). Don't never doubt the ability of an older singer especially Seiko!

Anyway, Ayu's sells are lookin' so good. She only got 3k yesterday which is not lookin' good if she wants to achieve the 100k in the first week. I think she'll have around 90k when the week ends.

[namiie]

^ Realistically? With how quickly sales have slumped? I'd say 80k (if she's lucky) by the time the week rounds out. It's a couple thousand shy of 60k right now.

As long as B'z keeps releasing, I don't think she'll ever reach to overall record.

I apologize for bringing this up but it seems after L'Arc, Exile, Hikki released their singles, all of the other singles just had low sales! Coincidence, maybe?! What is going on in the music industry?!

Someone posted a quote from another forum earlier analyzing the effects of OTHER record labels on the music industry. Ayu and Kumizon are both on avex and suffered sales slumps after the summer; "glitter" and "FREAKY" both sold more than 100k the first week and t2m and "Ai no Uta" haven't. It's probably because the mu-mo connection now allows people to download in advance, thus less people buying the physical singles. It happened for Tohoshinki too. I don't know about EXILE though.

Whereas Laruku and other bands on different labels had relatively consistent first week sales.

i hate mu-mo. with their cute slogan.. grr.

[MemorialAddress]

Oh my.
I dont think this one will pass 100k 0.0
This is not like Ayu!!!
