x.X I agree.

Granted- that's a loooooooooot of albums... but it's not Ayu-norm. Reminds me of the whole Michael Jackson thing when he realeased his latest album... it sold A LOT- but it's not what he's used to.

I hope Ayu doesn't have to go through that.

Does Anyone else know how long Ayu's other albums were number 1? I thought that I read somewhere that Ayu's albums are usually in the top three for a while so I don't know how long any of the albums were number one. Personally I think being third isn't bad, first would be great and second a bit better than third but at least she's not tenth by week two or worse already off the charts. I'm also pretty sure that she'll pullof 1,000,000 by week four.

Wow, almost 1 million? That's great! Although she had been declining from #1 to #2 and now #3... But still. Very great, Go AYU!

Yesterday, i watched a show called 'Young & Loaded' and they said how amazing it was for Avril Lavigne to sale 1 million copies in only 15 weeks. LOL. I think Ayu will hit a million next week and the 4th week.

That's too bad. I figured it would hit 1 million faster with four different covers and all.

It's sad that she's dropped to number 3, but hopefully she will hit 1 million soon!

There is nothing wrong with a 3rd rank. Go Ayu!

Still these numbers don't include album music download sales. They were upwards of 400,000 weren't they~

It was meant as a ranking for domestic pressed CDs. English/other imported CDs has their own section. It isn't a ranking for global sales.
altho i spot non-domestic artists on the oricon ranking;
like
6 デスティニー・フルフィルド デスティニーズ・チャイルド 2004/11/10 SJI 48,594
Destiny's Child
20 アンコール エミネム 2004/11/15 UMK 15,614
Eminem

i assume these are domestically pressed CDs~

yeh, somewhere on the ORICON site it states how they calculate the numbers; think it covers a lot and wide variety of shops, but not all.

I bet it'll hit a million, but I wish it wouldn't. I don't like that album, and she has enough money anyway.

becoz u don't like the album, you don't want it to sell well? I don't get your way of thinking...

Anyway, it's such a huge drop of sales, heck don't the people in Japan bought the album on Christmas??? I hope she'll be #1 again in the 3rd week

It's not that MY STORY is not selling well...musiQ is selling amazingly WELL! And the Kinki Kids best album had a pretty low sales for its first week compared to ayu's MY STORY first week, if anyone cared to see the number.....they will probably fall faster than ayu.

I agree with t265136767736 that she released it at not the best time. With musiQ selling like that and Kinki releasing a compilation album, that was what happened.

tsk tsk... Just you not buying it should already please yourselves enough. You just can't hope to force everyone to think the way you think. It only means you are unsure about your own opinion about this album, if you need others (by the way of the sales numbers) to prove your own point.

BTW, I hope you don't get this comment in the wrong way. I'm not telling you to buy it nor start liking this album.

Anyway, nobody will ever have enough money. Nobody, never. Is so, please give me yours. hehe

Yesasia sales don't even count for this anyway do they? And we've been over this many time, we're all free to have our own opinions. I did happen to buy "I am.." recently to support Ayu...

Not only Yesasia; all online sales, regardless of whether they be downloads or actual copies of the album bought through CDJapan, HMV.co.jp, towerrecords.co.jp or whatever, are not counted; only actual sales of physical copies from shops count.
