Kuu vs Ayu vs Ai

[Enfluerage]

Greetings!

It's interesting how Avex has the three top female artists right now.

But when I actually looked at the original album sales figures of the three, I was shocked to see the statistics. See below.

Kuu
Albums = 5
Sales = 1926800 (1.92 million)
Average = 385360 (385 k)

Note that BEST ~second session~ sold 1,782,437, which is not included above. (Though you could consider it as an "original album" since I think the tracks are mutually exclusive to her other albums)

Ayu
Albums = 9 (including Memorial Address)
Sales = 14782484 (14.8 million)
Average = 1642498 (1.64 million)

Ai
Albums = 3
Sales = 2186618 (2.19 million)
Average = 728873 (729 k)

Boa (if anyone was interested)
- Considering only original Japanese album sales in Japan
Albums = 5
Sales = 3599251 (3.60 million)
Average = 719850 (720 k )

Hikaru Utada (wow...9X Kuu)
Albums = 5 (Including Exodus, not including Star)
Sales = 17694525 (17.7 million)
Average = 3538905 (3.53 million)

Namie
Albums = 6 (Excluding Super Monkey's and Suite Chic)
Sales = 7124014 (7.12 million)
Average = 1187336 (1.19 million)

I was surprised to see that Kuu's original album sales are even lower than Ai's.
