I know you guys are really excited because of the announcement that her BoA's new album, which is anticipated to be titled "IDENTITY", will be released in February 2009, on the 10th. I used to be like this too, until I found out how tough the competition that her album will face is.
On the 3rd of February, Koda Kumi will release her new album, I believe it's a combo, her next best hits compilation album (titled Best~Third Universe~) + her 8th studio album. You guys know it's Koda Kumi, and You must know by now how her Best-of albums sell (just look at First Things and Second Session). Right now I'm anticipating that it will sell, in the worst case, like her Kingdom album (on average, I'm expecting it to sell like BLACK CHERRY, which is certified Million).
BoA can survive this if her first week sales will beat Third Universe's 2nd week sales, but I believe that will only happen if IDENTITY will sell like OUTGROW or Made in Twenty. I hope I am only mistaken, but I feel Avex is really making a big move to make this Koda Kumi album sell big time. Just look at how early they made it available for preorders. It can now be preordered and looking at the covers, they look REALLY gorgeous (Koda Kumi's so cute XD), but at the same time, they make me feel the threat for BoA's no.1.
Right now I feel bad about AVEX for doing this, in my opinion, they could've set the release dates upside down, release BoA's on the 3rd and Kuu's on the 10th, raising the chance for the two of them to reach #1. Besides, there will surely be future announcements of other artists releasing their albums on the first weeks of February.
Let us all help to preserve her title of consecutive #1's. That title is one of the prestigious things left that she has been holding. Her next album needs more support from us, more than what we have given before.

:laugh Thank you Deep River!!
kuu is BoA's last threat though...
BoA has her own competition with FUNKY MONKEY BABY'S.
2nd would be kaela's album 2nd week and 3rd would be kuu's 2nd week...
So most chances BoA will get #2-#5 weekly. One of them. =\
Only if FMB's album flops and the 2nd weeks will be really lower then BoA would have a chance to get #1...
Probably for some reason, avex might have aimed for BoA to lose her streak. Unless if it really was random and an unintentional date.
I mainly hope that the album is good. ^^
