ahh this thread is turning fanboy/girl on us!
Who cares who's more "musically talented", ayu is #2 and if this is anything like the STEP you/is this LOVE? single, it may drop up and down! Here's hoping "HEAVEN" will beat out both STEP you and fairyland sales!!! But then again, we will have hikki on ayu's tail! xD |

and B'z are NOT overrated as some people think. You don't have to like their music very much but you have to admit they are talented. Ayu: product. B'z: artist. |

Because of the new releases, Ayu dropped to the 6th position. B'z also dropped. But I have a feeling that both B'z and Ayumi will comeback up to the 2nd and 3rd position soon though.

Yeah, I agree that Ayu is not just a "product." I think it's very unfair that many people still think that way, even though she has written every song she has ever put out.(disregarding the few covers of course.)

I think ayumi started out as an idol with something extra, she wrote her lyrics (Good ones too). Then she started getting more and more involved in other process' and wrote music, co.directed and so forth. What might may people think of her as still an "idol" is the fact that she has no formal education, and the fact that her marketing is done very idol like (doing CMs and so forth). I think that's ayumi's biggest problem for the future if she planning to stay as popular, is to get rid of that idol image. Idols are generally viewed as fads, although ayumi has certainly proved she isen't a fad.

B'z it's not a 'boy band', it's just a two men group. SMAP is a boyband, Orange Range is not [their music is crap 'tho], nor is B'z.
By the way, can people plase stop thinking that is a Japan thing man always being on the top. It's not. It's a universal thing, like in US, just, like, 8 female artists sold over 10 million copies, and more than 20 boybands/bands/males sold that. PLUS, most of the best-selling singles in Japan are from females artists, at least the top 10 (three by Hikki; one by Ayu; one by Mai Kuraki. The other is Globo, two B'z greatest hits and mm, don't remember, dreams come true, maybe?) Sorry for the rant |

Next on the list is mostly bands, there's not many solo singers. Plus the top 10 singles is entirely by bands By the way, Ayu has only one single in the top 100, which is A, at the 57th place.

Poor Ayu...Well. We all know more people will buy more. Maybe most people didn't have money when it came out.
