Heh~ I think having been on no1 all week previously is good enough to me XP

it's kinda expexted, her second week sales usually have a massive drop.

Crapstorms happen. Not like it's the end of the world, people, sales drop for everyone. Yes, even for Ayumi. Contrary to popular belief, she IS human (this is up for debate) and everyone loses their luster with time.

Some people are right. Who made the rules saying that since she's at number five, it means she's not great? We still love Ayu in our hearts and no matter what! :yatta

^exactly!
Ayu could be the last one, I'd still dig her songs!
Numbers are crap, sorry, I care about musical material! =P

She should stick to her 2003-2005 single release patterns. They helped her albums reach a million.

lol what's that supposed to mean?

I hope it rises.

Since 1 LOVE got aired just recently in Japan (I think), sales might be pretty stable. All her new PVs for the album are really pretty, I'm sure they'll promote the album well for some time.

Did Secret cause a sales resurgence in (miss)understood or BLUE BIRD though?

^really?
i thought 1 LOVE was gonna be album exclusive
sort of like what alterna was.

Well in terms of rankings, it doesn't really drop that much, but sales-wise they're on the same boat as Ayu. Although, Mr. Children seems to be avoiding kind of avoiding this trend and they've been around for 14 years.

No.

....?Alterna wasn't an album exclusive it came out with the single Fairyland c/w Alterna.
also Ayu is still #1 weekly thats just daily

That's what.

SALES number used to be a big issue to me, but right now its all back to the QUALITY of the ALBUM.. if AYU fans happy with it the n SECRET is a sucsess
! let this also be a lesson for AYU so she can make a MORE better album next year.

I'm not upset, it is only the daily charts. Hopefully it'll even out by the week chart and Ayu will be top 3. :)

Honestly, if she'd just start performing some of her album tracks, it would probably help. I'm sure we're all kinda tired of watching JEWEL lives now no matter HOW good the song is. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE JEWEL, just that it would be great if she'd just perform something else once in a while.

I agree. I really wish she'd perform 'Secret'.

I was kinda sad to know it, but then we can't do anything unless everyone of us purchases 10,000 copies everyday...

I still love Secret no matter what. :yes

Speaking of ORANGE RANGE... bleh.

no i mean the airing of the alterna video
i don't think there was ever an airing in japan for alterna
that's what i meant by "album-exclusive"
