Yeah, but the second had completely different songs from the first. Plus, all of the songs on it had JUST been released with that 12 singles project thing.

It does look promising but i'd just be happy if it hits a million. Anything lower is oh well... At least i have a new product.

Isn't B'z releasing their BEST one week after A COMPLETE? sucks that Ayu will just get one week at #1.

I wouldn't have thought that many people would have wanted this, really.... besides the a-nation and TA live tour clips, at least. May be the radio play of Who... really helped, and brought people back to those "natsukashii" days, where almost EVERYONE loved her.
May be it's the fact that it's actually a pretty comprehensive collection, save a few songs. But these NINKI numbers make me VERY excited. |

actually, I'm quite confident it will sell more than Namie.
Namie is not as popular as Ayumi, not even now. Taking in consideration of all the Oricon polls, Ayumi has taken number 1 spot on so many polls lately.. I think Ayumi's popularity is rising again~~ Maybe too optimistic ahaha. I think people on here seem to be too grave in their estimation on how popular ayumi really is. She still is VERY popular~ But.. even my friends are anticipating buying the album. I don't think many japanese are saying "didn't she just release best 2 last year?" It's okay~ I think~ because it's different, with different items included. Anyways~ I will be optimistic.. But I guess it could go anyways~ |

I hope she does well and get #1, especially over the past few weeks we have not been seeing action on the albums other than Namie Amuro's...
And I hope Ai Otsuka does well, except she has to face GLAY for the #1 spot, as I think GLAY is the better one to take the #1 because they have more experience... |

Unfortunately, A COMPLETE has to face B'z, so there's possible competition there. Both artists/groups are extremely popular, but I believe A COMPLETE will come out on top. I certainly hope A COMPLETE sells more than BEST FICTION does - it's a better compilation, in my opinion.

i mean i think A COMPLETE is a very much better compilation...so many songs! but people brought BF for DMM and Sexy Girl, and the triple A songs~..but ayu only have 1 new song..well more like a remake of the original, so idk if that'll be enough for people to buy~

A COMPLETE~ALL SINGLES~ will have one week at the top of the chart, at best. B'z is guaranteed to kick her out of the top slot when they debut their album. Honestly, it's a given. People really should pay attention to the way certain artists perform on ORICON. Ayu isn't exactly a shoe-in for the number one position when competing against popular male artists, and I don't understand why avex doesn't seem to comprehend that. Had they waited two more weeks in January to release GUILTY, she would have retained her #1 album streak because KOBUKURO was guaranteed a good 4-week run at #1, and they should have known that in December when KOBUKURO released their album. Ultimately, it was Koda Kumi's Kingdom album that finally pushed KOBUKURO out of the top slot in their fifth week, logically speaking, despite her declining sales, Koda Kumi's album was a prime candidate for the rank one position. In the same regard, it's common knowledge across Japan that whenever B'z releases something, it's going to chart at #1 without a doubt, and yet avex still insisted upon releasing A COMPLETE~ALL SINGLES~ only a week before? Among those on the inside of the industry, news of upcoming approximate album debut dates is not hard to come by, and avex producers did not move the release of A COMPLETE~ALL SINGLES~ even a week earlier. It's rather frustrating. They should plan Ayu's releases like that of Amuro's BEST FICTION. While it was obvious that BEST FICTION was lined up to dominate the ORICON chart (as it was pretty obvious from the gradual increase in Amuro's sales over the past year, a BEST album would naturally be prime for the million-seller achievement, or at the very least, a number one slot on the ORICON chart), the fact that she wasn't opposed by the release of an album from a big-selling artist over the course of her six-week chart-topping run helped the album remain #1. Had the release dates of BEST FICTION and A COMPLETE~ALL SINGLES~ been switched, we might have seen different results.
That being said, best of luck to Ayu and the release of A COMPLETE~ALL SINGLES~. May it chart at #1 for as long as possible, and sell to our hearts' content despite the lack of release strategy amongst her avex producers.

This reminds me of the time A BEST was lined up against Utada Hikaru's DISTANCE album. Maybe Avex wants to test Ayumi's popularity and see how she fares even after ten years?
I also think it's a stupid move. |

I don't expect it to sell extremely surprisingly anyway. Quote:
As people here said, A COMPLETE has to be one of the most flopping albums ever to not sell more than namie's BF this week (Not in total of course). Last edited by ayumisrael; 7th September 2008 at 11:19 PM. |

365.20 out of 400 sounds pretty good.
Hope it can sell as much as it's predicted.
