They can do all the talking or whatever they want to do but the question is are they going to buy it?

[Aga-chan]

^That's true. Some even review it, without having heard the full single...

Well it's not doing amazingly well on Chaku-Uta Full. It dropped from #3 to #5 yesterday.

[cloud♥honey]

But when t2m started to be downloaded on Chaku-Uta, which position the song received?

[ayu_fan929]

I think it debuted at #3 and peaked at either #2 or 3.

Talkin 2' myself peaked at #1 on Mumo a month ago and has been in the top 5 since I believe. It's peaked at #2 on iTunes and Chaku-Uta.

What I've noticed regarding single sales this year is that only die hard fans are buying physical copies; this goes for just about every artist. Whereas in the past people bought the single if they liked the song but weren't big fans of the singer, now they're downloading them. That's why artists like Ayaka can't sell 100k overall with there singles and then manage to have huge download certifications.

what about the remixes and especially the karaoke versions? can you download them too?

in my opinion japanese singles have a lot more value to them than most western ones. I don't really get why people don't pick it up who like the song and maybe some remixes of it. damn those double a-sides, they destroy value.

I'm so disappointed in Ayu

[somethinglost]

[ExodusUK]

I'm so disappointed in Ayu

[somethinglost]

It's not ayu's fault.

[AyuGAME]

she is number one...but the sales is really low
hopefully its just because bad politic condition and disaster at japan

[Zemus]

The music business has clearly changed. But that doesn't change the fact that Ayumi is still in top of it. Go Ayu, another #1 yay

What are you disappointed about? That Ayu is still making music but due to the fact that her peak of popularity is over so she can't sell as much as she did back then?

Honestly...I don't think it even matters to Ayu anymore if she gets #1 on the charts or not. She is making music, and as long as she still enjoys doing that, that's what's most important. She's already made so much money from the past that she'd be happy if her career can still continue. She's still outselling most of the other artists in terms of physical copies; her single sold almost as much as the #1 album of the week. You don't see Matsutoya Yumi or Matsuda Seiko getting #1's anymore...but they're still alive. It's longetivity and respect that matters. I'm happy Ayu's still around .

And by the way...congratulations for maintaining the #1 streak Ayu .

[WillofDusk]

^Yeap
Yu guys should see that how convenient to download music from iTunes and mumo and music.jp
It takes a few years to take the sales down.
No big deal look how other artists doing

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

I'm so happy because she beat DBSK w00t ;D!

[dayumi]

Great job Ayu! I'm really happy that she gets #1 spot weekly!!

Anyway I think it will reach 100,000 in maybe 3-5 weeks.
