[20/06/07] ORICON YEAR OF ALBUM SALE (Half of the year) - Page 3

**ayumisrael** · #41 20th June 2007, 11:33 PM

The Best Damn Thing will obviously be no.3 but I hope otsuka won't sell with ai am BEST more than A BEST 2 -BLACK- and if she won't have a long chart run under 101 like 2 of her albums I don't think it will happen, luckily.
And even if she does at least A BEST 2 will be 5th and 6th... or 4th and 6th
and if Southern or B'z won't release an album until mid December ayu will stay on top 5/6 of 2007 and she'll have 3 albums on top 50 - Secret, A BEST 2 - BLACK- and A BEST 2 -WHITE- (because Secret sold around 100,000 in 2007)!

a best 2 did pretty good for the first half of the year. All I am hoping that it will stay in the top 10 by the end of this year.

Thanks for sharing the information!

Ayu have to be 1st because she made 2 albums and a best 2 -black- + a best 2 -white- beat the sales of the 1st! Go Ayu go the empress of j-pop

she's going pretty good.

at this rate with album sales, -WHITE- should be in the top 10 (yearly).

I doubt Secret is going to make TOP 50 - it was already ranked at #40 last week.

Other than Ai am BEST, I think some other potential albums that could outsell A BEST 2 are: Kobukuro's ALL SINGLE BEST (this album is still selling ~20k each week); Sukima Switch's (1st) BEST album and OR's 2 BEST albums (these could do moderately well->500k each or pretty well->A BEST 2 levels)

Grrrrrrrrrrr to Koda Kumi, I'm just glad Ayu is still at least right under her.

Qt Mashi · #48 21st June 2007, 03:37 AM

pretty good!

thanks~

alternarist · #49 21st June 2007, 03:48 AM

hmm ayu's A BEST 2 didnt get a million.. was expecting to hit a million haha.. and also quite disappointed that koda kumi beat ayu!!

IYFreak · #50 21st June 2007, 05:49 AM

I think A Best 2 would have been able to sell 1 Million if they didn't split it in half. They Should have had the CD version contain Black & What, Then One Version with A Best 2 Black & What, with the corresponding PV DVD's, then the other Would Be A BEST 2 black & white, with the corresponding PV DVD & CDL Documentary

Ohhh... o.o Well I just hope that Ayumi can stay in the Top 10 at least. ^_^

njanjayrp · #53 21st June 2007, 08:59 AM

Avril's album isn't a DOMESTIC release, so who cares.Plus when u count the total cd sales, Ayu did sell the most.

Lee_Hamasaki · #54 21st June 2007, 09:34 AM

I think the potential album that coul beat a best 2 are: tbdt kobukuro all single best new album of koda kumi (if she release it before december) and new album of ai otsuka (the same of kuu).

extepan · #55 21st June 2007, 11:50 AM

ayu needs to get number 1 spot!!

I really don't think so.
And kumi has to release an album first.

So far, Mr. Children is this year's top seller. Solo artist wise, Kuu is.

Although I do think Otsuka Ai will release an album in the fall (she's already long overdue for one), I don't think it will be a threat to A BEST 2's TOP 10 yearly position.

IYFreak · #58 21st June 2007, 03:36 PM

since its still the beginning of the year i think I Ayu's spot is temporary another Best album, or even kuu album could pass her.and if this is a good year for Ai she probably could too

greggerz189 · #59 21st June 2007, 03:43 PM

holy crap Mr. Children's HOME sold a million??

I really don't think so was meant that I really don't think another album of ai will outsell A BEST 2.
