But we have to consider that many artist now sells less than 5 years before (You know . . . downloads / bootlegs) but there are exceptions.

It'll probably get back into the bottom end of the TOP 10 later in the week.

I think A BEST 2 might stay in the top ten for a month or two.. maybe? :D

Haruki @ JPM

It will probably drop out of the TOP 300 (no sales will be counted) next week.

Ooo, A BEST appears on the chart~ :D

.. that is a big drop.... -.-;

well, again, 500k is the new million right? =).

I think 700K for both will be great. She's not even at her peak popularity anymore either.

Daily Rankings on 3/22

A BEST 2 -WHITE- is back at #7 on daily ranking
and A BEST 2 -BLACK- is back at #8

Good job ayu!

I would say ~650-700k is the 'new' million. Sales haven't declined by THAT much (50%) since 2000/2001...

Last year BEST ~second sessions~ and ken hirai's utabaka were only a few thousand off the 1 mil mark for first week sales. But they weren't duel releases.

Erm... the two BESTs won't make the top 10 at this rate.... but combined her sales will around the same as lasts years if not more.

^They already made it back into the top 10..

I think that Yukitora meant top 10 of the year in annual sales..

whoops, yeh that's what I meant ^_^.

edit: wow, I never noticed my username had a capital Y...

Wow...she is so amazing...went back to top 10..

and cool that A BEST is charting..hahaafter 6 yrs..i think its the new generation

yay..back to top 10..c'mon A best can sales about 50k again this week

Just went to cdjapan....and guess which album is on the cd ranking chart?

March 25th:
A BEST 2 -WHITE- rank 5th (3-5 days)
A BEST 2 -BLACK- rank 6th (in stock)

quite surprised to see them there...especially seeing them instead of ai am best or best b&l

it seems like very few people buy from CDJApan...maybe only those shipped within Japan are counted?

Well CDJapan is mainly used by overseas people while Neowing is mainly used by Japanese people right?

I think alot of ppl do buy from cdjapan coz buying from them suppose to count towards the chart...and now they accept paypal so its gonna get more ppl to buy from them. I do believe theyve been selling a lot of copies of A BEST 2.
