Good it the numbers went up a bit. And we still have a day more to go! So 50k might not be impossible considering some stores seem to submit the numbers on the end of the week.


The USBs will be counted on Wednesday next week, and the other set on 17th right?

[TITANIC]

GOSH.. It cant pass 300K after 2 weeks...

[Chef+Vanny]

320k for week 3 then.........

[KarenPang]

it's not bad at all , at least she's still hovering in the top 2 on the 2nd week

[Chef+Vanny]

what freaks me out is DCT...
15k??am i wrong

[sanzo2011]

Yes ! DCT's still very strong ! poor Ayu ! i don't know if this album can reach 350k ~~ !

[PinkShinigami]

Slow's one thing but it's not steady at all! I thought this would be better than Guilty at least given her higher single sales but this is so wrong. What's important is that we continue supporting ayu even though many of her Japanese fans seem to have stopped. Or maybe they are just downloading more.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

slow but good anyway

[babamon]

Ah.. there's one more day to go but it had alrdy surpassed 40k. It's surely gonna surpass 50k given that there are still several shops' sales which aren't included in the figures. Moreover tml is another 'weekend effect'

[kiseki89]

I hope so.. Sales for NL is quite slow...

[ian lim]

they got older and went into recession ^_^;

i think the sales are doing fine, especially without the index to make us feel better. a very consistent #2 for the second week isn't bad at all.

I think one big shock for most of us is that we, or at least, I expected NEXT LEVEL to have decent sales according to sales of Days/GREEN and Rule/Sparkle.

[MissElin_]

Well, its not year 2000 anymore. And thinking of sales numbers versus downloading numbers its pretty sad...

I guess we all thought the album would sell better cuz of that if the single sales weren't better I wouldn't have had my hopes up.

[neuteka]

Awesome! she has better sales than I expected, honestly. Let us hope that she can keep this up!

[hikaricore]

^I agree that it's not bad...
But even GUILTY had a 72,000 sales week in it's technically THIRD week.
This is so bad, I'm so upset!!!

[love in music]

ahh i'm so happy with these sales

[~X2RADialbomber~]

NEXT LEVEL seems like a very rushed album and I don't think it's one of her best. Maybe that's why sales are 'low' (They're not really in comparison to everyone else's). Fans don't always just buy Ayu's album just because "It's Ayumi Hamasaki and I have to have everything of hers otherwise world order will be disrupted" (Some do, mind you)
