Anyway, good for Ayu! I'm glad... Unfortunately Next Level's sales for the first week will be the lowest in her discography

But she's still #1 which is amazing^^;

Nope, to je 2 nedelje kombinovane zbog nove godine zato je broj bio veliki, prakticno 2 oricon nedelje + jedan dan je imala da se racunaju kao jedna nedelja jer Oricon ima jednu manje nedelju od godine. That should be all XD

why this album not selling well?? if 5th day is 18089 so index is around 10k...
99220 is in index around 58k===> it is Ok
but in 5th day only 10k is too bad...

The album is selling well and there is no more index. Glad that she passed the 200k mark.

YEAAAAAH!! Ayu is still No1!!!What can be better?? I hope that she'll manage to rich at least 300 000 by the 6th day! She's still the best!

I thought with the general improvement of her single sales, this would point toward an upward trend for sales of her next album. Evidently i'm quite wrong. It seems that Guilty is steadier. It had a relatively strong second week don't forget. If Next Level declines fast, we could be looking at an ending total of under 500k. It's quite demoralizing to me.

~thnx so after all NEXT LEVEL is selling better even without "x 1.7". With it would be already 353,175.

Not exactly, NEXT LEVEL only had a better first day

rakeru · #**130** 29th March 2009, 06:30 PM

wow, interesting to see that the 5th day for GUILTY was almost exactly the same as NL's 5th, only 19 units difference!

It's a she, not a he darlin' :

Honestly i think the quality of the album has nothing to do with the sales. I just hope she can continue with her number one albums

oh xD my bad

Gomen SolarAngel

And yeah I agree the quality of the songs rarely affects the sales.

abestfah · #**133** 29th March 2009, 06:50 PM

x 1.7 and x 1.75

lfe. · #**134** 29th March 2009, 07:07 PM

^I think the quality of the songs would affect the sales, especially for an artist with declining popularity like ayu. Only strong ayu fans will buy it the moment it comes out. Casual listeners are going to want to know whether its good or not first before buying.

The covers aren't really buyer-friendly

, if I wasn't an ayu fan I would NOT buy NEXT LEVEL after seeing the covers. Plus ayu is experimenting with a style of music that people aren't used to. Perhaps if sales remain steady like they are now for the next few weeks, maybe its a sign that people are coming around.

I think its pretty optimistic to think it will even get to 500k. No matter what excuse people use, these sales are disappointing imo.

lfe. · #**138** 29th March 2009, 07:48 PM

I agree that based off the first week, 500k is a reach. I don't think these sales are disappointing though, lots of female artists seem to be struggling with sales these days, even if the boy bands aren't

So far the sales aren't lower than GUILTY's, so as much as I was optimistic it's a bit too early to say that the sales are disappointing

@lfebaggins - I don't really think half of the music that sells great is good (EXILE?).

Well, I say that because it doesn't look like its going to outsell Trick. I know people are saying don't do the Koda comparison, but I don't see why not. Especially when people don't seem to mind making koda comparisons so long as Ayu is the one on top. DCT will far surpass her sales and I think several other artist have a good shot at overtaking these sales too. The album is also dropping much faster than Guilty - the only day it outsold Guilty was the first day. The year has barely started, and already this album is only #7 on the album chart. Normally her first week sales alone should be able to put her much higher than that.
