250k, here we go!!!
i hope she can sell at least 270k.

such consistent sales! :) goodjob ayu! <3

wow! #2 still?! this album is actually doing really well..very pleased and surprised

yayy, go Ayu! :D

what up LONGEVITY lol

2nd Day
Position: #9

Ok ouch..that's sudden after so many days of being at the top few spots

That's because there are new albums today =) Unlike the past 2 weeks.

As Tal said, it was expected. With some luck it will slowly climb back. Still it's in top10 even with the new releases so that's a good thing as it most likely won't drop more this week.

But still, with a slew of new albums, it's still in the top 10 ;) that's pretty good!

BTW, in an English magazine in Japan called Metropolis, they had a small piece on music for 2011, what's coming out and such. I wasn't expecting them to mention Ayu but they did. They said that even though Love songs is technically a 2010 album, it could end up being one of the top selling albums of 2011 in JPop.

I didn't understand where that was coming from...haha. But yeah, thought it was, uh, weird. :P

It was released past counting 2010 albums, that is why it is going to figure in this list.

That's pretty impressive, honestly. But I shouldn't be surprised at her consistency to kick arse.

Ouch. I didn't expect her to drop so much...I figured...female solo album sales might plateau out at 300k...

nice that everyone is so positive though lol

Makes me scared for Koda's album though.

There are 7 newly released albums in top 10 and it's been 3+ weeks since the album was released, it's selling less than 2k most likely and it would be impossible for it to stay in top 5 considering everything :)

Yeah I am also interested to see how will Ku's next album fare considering it's not being wrapped up with a Best of this year.

Also, usually Kumi releases her album first and she does a bit better than Ayu but this time Ayu released hers first... I wonder if Kumi will still do better?

can't be mad...she has stayed up high for a while.

I'm sorry I don't get the relationship between "who releases first" and "who will sell better" between these two artists.

It's just a pattern I noticed. I'm not saying it's definite. I'm aware there are other factors that contribute to who sells better.

And sometimes they flip flop, but lately Kumi has been releasing first and then Ayu follows with slightly lower sales. So for me it's an unofficial estimate of how each other will sell since their sales are so close.

There is no relation between the two. It just happened that during the past 2 years or so, Ku would release her albums in February and Ayu would follow.

It did well I'm hoping it can stay in the top 10 for this week :)
