Thanks for the screencap. I wonder what the chart is referring to. It can't be overall sales because Mr.Children has higher sales than Ayu. It might be yearly sales.


UPDATE: I just finished watching the episode. They counted all the sales from 2001 to 2010 and in the end, Ayu won the game. She sold the most during those years and they crowned her the Queen. Pretty cool episode. I'm sure Ayu saw that episode and cheered her up. She deserves this so much!

So ayu has sold more than utada. Shocking

[EndOfTheWorld]

Yeahhh. Where is Utada on that graph? I would think that she would have to be on there. She must be one of the top sellers of the 2000's.

^She is the orange one.
People should keep in mind Ayu sold a TON during the 00s, and even if Hikki also sold a lot, Ayu released 3x or so as much material

[EndOfTheWorld]

Oh I see now.
I did consider that. Ayu got the most out of her sales potential by releasing as much as she can during her peak popularity.
I always expected Heart Station to sell more than it did.
