Yeah, but Love Cook seems destined to be her first million seller. If I remember correctly, the second and third week sales were around 150 000 too. Hardly any drop at all. I love her! ^^

hmmn... lemme check.. before that I would like to point out that LOVE COOK can hardly become a million seller if (m)u can't be a million seller..

edit: LOVE COOK sales: 334812 + 167321 + 167318 (2 weeks sales btw) = 669451 copies in four weeks... hmmn.. i'll say.. the min should be 800K overall, and max is 900K; need some miracles to push it over the 100 million border..

Pretty much. This album won't sell a million in my opinion. Maybe it'll get 800k as bluegie said but I don't think she'll get one million. It wasn't such a breakthrough album anyhow.

so sad that this album will not be a million selling album !!
i think she should not have used GEO of SWEETBOX ~ and should not have release Bold & Delicious at all ~ i mean .. everything was fine , her sales were fine until Bold & Delicious was released.. it was such a flop for Ayu

now i wonder will ayu's next single sell 300k ~ i doubt ~

oh yeah but this could be due to I TunEs ~ hehehe
is she no 1 at iTunes ?

OH! 2 weeks sales, forgot bout the new year clause. Well you never know, Sakuranbo was in oricon for 82 weeks. If Love Cook does that, I dunno. But I'm confident that Ai is gonna do well! She already beat the sales for Love Jam and Love Punch.

With the tour, I hope she remains in the top 10 weeklies or at least the top 20 for a long time.

Gorie is the new queen? LOL... that's really hilarious...

you should download "her" performance at kouhaku this year... it's the best one at red side IMO.

So..
then the total sales for (miss)understood is 736.561 in 3 weeks.. and people are speculating a forum name change, and that Ayu is not popular anymore?..
how is selling 736,561 albums in 3 weeks a BAD thing...?

That's actually pretty damn good in Japan.

becuase it is lower than her previous albums, even lower than Memorial Address. then if this fails to reach the million, retirement questions will be asked, then rumours will be made up about avex wanting koda or ai to "replace" her via more promotion on them etc. etc.

Brittany: its not really damn good, its more "average" for an a-list artist to achieve this amount.

Hmm... I dunno... I'd argue there are very few artists that can consistently achieve these numbers with an original album that is not a best-of single compilation.

Good points. Personally I think she should have released a better single before (miss) understood. Bold & Delicious is a fun song but it does get boring. Why didn't she release a single for "In the Corner", "criminal" or "Ladies Night"? Also the covers took ages to sink in especially that monkey face photo. Honestly it sucks. Why couldn't she at least swap the photobook covers with the normal ones? The New York theme got old at once.

Thirdly she should have performed other songs. Personally I'm sick of Bold & Delicious performances. I really wanted to see some new songs instead of Bold & Delicious.

Also I was disappointed to see that this album and it's booklet seemed without any concept/theme or direction which was pretty disappointing. The songs were excellent but the way they were presented weren't so good imo.

Yes plus let's not forget that Ayu is huge in Japan so bootlegs will probably be more available around than say other not so famous artists.

That is true nick but remember that Japan is more conservative than say USA in the music industry so being sexy is a huge thing there. I remember how people were shocked to see Ayu's LOVEppears cover. I also remember how when she performed at Kohaku and she wore a pair of shorts some guys in the off-stage were hilariously staring at her as if well.. you get me. So yeah Kumi's being sexy is actually getting her attention because few people have actually dared to be sexy over there. Plus let's not forget how avex is hyping her up with all these releases
