Ayu did rather well for 2009 considering that these other acts were so much more wildly popular. As far as I can remember, 2009 had Days/GREEN, Rule/Sparkle, AT08, NEXT LEVEL, Sunrise/Sunset, and CDL08-09. It seems a little weird that Ayu made it to the top ten with just that...

Yet again she is the best selling female and solo artist of the year.
The same goes for digital downloads according to rekochoku.
Kudos for her.

Michael Jackson counts as a solo artist to me, so I guess solo J-Pop artist then?

It's rather weird how Ayu's in such "decline" and yet she's still able to do well for a female soloist. Perhaps people are just overreacting to their dissatisfaction with what she's been putting out?

because most of them from singles sales which are more cheaper than album and DVD. Ayu sold almost 1 million and Ayaka sold 800K but 90% from Ayaka's sales is from her best album which is more expensive. its fair enough

Well NEXT LEVEL had the 2CD+DVD and USB versions (and the USB was hell expensive) so it might balance or almost balance the profits from both. XD

I think NL 2CD+DVD have same price like Ayaka's History 2006-2009 and NL only sold 378K and Ayaka sold 760K by the end of 2009 and USB is just very few,right?

I just wondered how the beatles could sell that much o.0

I was in total awe to see You were.../BALLAD jump back to #5 and now I am completely stunned that NEXT LEVEL is charting again as well! And being #9 over all in 2009. #1 female and #1 solo artist? Eh, who says Ayu has lost her touch, she's still got it and is about to bring us some more this year! I can't wait

ayumisrael, I think you should try to put the top ten 2009 yearly sales in the first post, since the top 5 is only mentioned in the source.

That's quite a lot of stuff actually. The other people in the top list released a lot too. So often times this list is more of a "who released the most products this year" top 10. Although occasionally you'll get people who just really had a humongous seller and that's enough to put them there. I think this year, Mr. Children was that only exception because I think they had just 2 releases counting. I think a better list to make would be one that shows the number of releases in proportion to the amount sold. It's still a nice achievement to be in the top 10, but Avex is definitely smart to have her release so much even if it might be to the detriment of her own health though unfortunately.

oh btw, I guess that bump in Next Level sales was from the double week? That would make more sense since it seems everyone's albums got bumped up and it would put it around the "controversy" articles time.
