Uncontrolled ranked at #1 and sold 45k in its third week:
http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/rankmusic/2014399/full/


Her first original album to rank at #1 for 3 consecutive weeks and the first original album by a female artist to do so since Koda Kumi's Black Cherry (2007).

Total sales: 416,000 (4th best selling album of 2012 as of this week)

Back in 2008, her best alb 'BEST FICTION', also captured the No. 1 spot on the ORICON weekly chart for 6 straight weeks (It was the first time in 14 years and 8 months that an album was No. 1 for 6 straight weeks, and the first time in 28 years and 7 months that a female solo artist went No. 1 for 6 straight weeks, recording total sales of over 1.8 million copies)

What's making Namie so successful???? Her promo? What's the secret???
me
I'm honestly so curious..

I mean, I liked Uncontrolled, and I like her works, but it hasn't been knock-my-socks-off amazing. I wonder why her popularity has surged the past few yrs?!

YOU GO NAMIE
(now Ayu go make me feel better and somehow also get amazing sales) I love my queens

*1 5,366 安室奈美恵

Total so far: 421,060

Okay next goal is 450k =)

And according to MTV Japan, Namie's CD 'Uncontrolled' topped the regional charts in five countries in Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea and SINGAPORE!) And this is her 2nd time, 1st was for 'PAST<FUTURE' CD! Another unbreakable record for Asian & Japanese female artist
More than that, 'Uncontrolled' has won two consecutive weeks at # 1 in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the album also topped on the radio chart in the "weekly chart J / K-POP Hong Kong HMV" J-POP chart of Hong Kong only.

She's always been popular, more or less. Like I've already said, they've been promoting the new album like crazy everywhere

I'm so ****ing proud of her! *Cries*

I cannot believe she is at 420+K already. This is such amazing news. Cheers to 450K and eventually 500K.

Love the sales. It would be awesome if Uncontrolled managed to get past the #3 album of the year but that's over 700k so that might be asking a bit too much. Still, these sales are amazing and it looks like she's the only solo artist selling this well. Everyone else is a group.

^^That video made me realize just how amazing the last two era's have been. Past<Future still blows me away to this day. And Uncontrolled just show how much Namie's in the lead right now. This girl is cray cray, stop being so flawless.
