[Charts+sales] A BEST 2

[alwyn]

A best 2 Gogogogogo!!!!

[Kagome-chan]

uhm..not bad

GO AYUUUUU *_______*

[IYFreak]

SO then are these numbers good or bad?

[BabyUtada]

^Bad IMO!

I really think that they should have waited to post the results of AB2 as well as all the other releases that were out this week. I mean, it's been a mess lately with all this guessing and saying this and that when it's the other way around. I can't tell which is which.....a week is not a long time ppl..lets try to stay in our seats and wait for the TRUE results!

[Tasked]

actually the numbers are GOOD, I think.. We've seen that sales can be twice as high as the indicators.. so.. 200 in 3 days can be 400 is 7 days.. if then the actual sales are 800; then the sales are amazing...

To remind everyone that there was a time where Ayu was loved by nearly everyone in Japan?

[tinyppl]

That looks pretty good for 3 days =)

Meh I wish that was the case now, I mean I sure hope it is still now but with the sales figures lately it's probably not true anymore. I wonder what Ayumi is doing that Japan is not liking? It seems they really like the more crazy dance sexed up stuff like Koda Kumi is doing because that is what's selling. Hm I dunno I wish the best for Ayu though and for future success as always!

[ayu_fan929]

^I think it's because she's been at it for 8 years already. People want someone new.

[truehappiness]

Think of it like how Namie had the highest single sales ever and now she can barely hit 200k. D:~~

I think the pregnancy and divorce was what caused her "downfall" though..

[andre2907]

^ Namie Amuro is a really bad example because she is one HUGE phenomenon.

I mean, yeah, her sales went down like mad since her 1-year-hiatus, but since then, they stay stable and even the divorce and the family drama didn´t hurt her sales. Shes a rare case.

Namie's sales are going up now again too! ^__^

[BabyUtada]

^IMO, I think it was of her transition from her pop stage to her now Urban stage that her sell depleted. Unlike me, many probably felt that Namie's pop stuff was and is way better that her Urban stuff.

I think that it's to tpoint were Ayu's age is also a factor why she's somewhat having low sales too. It's the "Yeah, Yeah, we've heard you before Ayu and we still love you be please retire because you're kinda gerting to age were you don't what use teenages are going through and need someone like Kumi or Ai to understand us more" type attitude that giving her less publicity.

[somethinglost]

You guys are really scaring me about the sales, so much uncertainty. x__________x

[truehappiness]

22701 for WHITE.

it's not that bad. i read hikki's forum and someone posted a japanese website estimate the actual sales by multiplying the indicator by 1.8. If that's the case then each A BEST 2 has been sold around 400K so far.. I hope the weekend sales will be a bit higher so that she may have chance to sell more than 500K for each album..

[jasjasss]

even if she sells 450k for each album
thats mean if combined to 1 disc she sold 900k !
that is so good lah
u guys are just too pathetic ! "oh no ayu is not selling, it sthe end of the world"

[Sim']

Yeah, Ayu is not selling but it's not the end of the world yet xD
Just that we expected a lot more for a BEST, more support but well =)
So for the moment and for the 4th day it would be:

¤ A BEST 2 -BLACK- : 226.927
¤ A BEST 2 -WHITE- : 228.824
¤ A BEST 2 -WHITE & BLACK- : 455.751

Pretty low for a BEST =/
(I know it's an estimation for the 4 first days)
Hope it'll be ~400.000 each for the weekly charts ^0^

[Ayumi-love]

The sales are bad, i'm sad... T_T
