Yeah! Jpop! is not to be trusted....they always have exaggerated sales. I think they count wholesale numbers but not actual numbers sold??

^ i was about to say that too, until I remembered that the wholesale sales of }{ was actually 1,000,000 copies. Jpop! lists it as selling 994k or so. And again, fly high was only released in limited copies, 300k to be more precise... but i'm not sure. I'm keeping an open mind because I refuse to believe that once a CD drops out of the charts that it doesn't continue to sell at all.

oricon should have all these sales recorded somewhere..could we like..e-mail em or something..--"?

emailing oricon seems a good idea. what is the email address?

Wow.. Thx for sharing the news.. nv know the total sales of everything that she releases.. come to think of it.. kinda cool :P

here is the sales compiled. for moments, the data is only up to date to the second week. anyone has more up to date data?

A best really did sell 4.65 million.. not 4.3 what most people think... Too bad we can't know the GLOBAL sales.. cos these are only japan versions in japan (yesasia isn't counted in these stats either) so i guess 20% should be added to get an idea of the global sales.

Hmm, I am... hitt he 3M mark, A BALLADS hit the 1 M mark according to RIAJ
