The Best Damn Thing will obviously be no.3 but I hope otsuka won't sell with ai am BEST more than A BEST 2 -BLACK- and if she won't have a long chart run under 101 like 2 of her albums I don't think it will happen, luckily.
And even if she does at least A BEST 2 will be 5th and 6th... or 4th and 6th
and if Southern or B'z won't release an album until mid December ayu will stay on top 5/6 of 2007 and she'll have 3 albums on top 50 - Secret, A BEST 2 - BLACK- and A BEST 2 -WHITE- (because Secret sold around 100,000 in 2007)!

a best 2 did pretty good for the first half of the year. All I am hoping that it will stay in the top 10 by the end of this year.

Thanks for sharing the information!

Ayu have to be 1st because she made 2 albums and a best 2 -black- + a best 2 -white- beat the sales of the 1st! Go Ayu go the empress of j-pop :)

she's going pretty good.

at this rate with album sales, -WHITE- should be in the top 10 (yearly).

I doubt Secret is going to make TOP 50 - it was already ranked at #40 last week.

Other than Ai am BEST, I think some other potential albums that could outsell A BEST 2 are: Kobukuro's ALL SINGLE BEST (this album is still selling ~20k each week); Sukima Switch's (1st) BEST album and OR's 2 BEST albums (these could do moderately well->500k each or pretty well->A BEST 2 levels)

Grrrrrrrrrrr to Koda Kumi, I'm just glad Ayu is still at least right under her.

pretty good!

thanks~

hmm ayu's A BEST 2 didnt get a million.. was expecting to hit a million haha.. and also quite disappointed that koda kumi beat ayu!! :(

I think A Best 2 would have been able to sell 1 Million if they didn't split it in half. They Should have had the CD version contain Black & What, Then One Version with A Best 2 Black & What, with the corresponding PV DVD's, then the other Would Be A BEST 2 black & white, with the corresponding PV DVD & CDL Documentary

Ayu ROX

Ohhh... o.o Well I just hope that Ayumi can stay in the Top 10 at least. ^_^

Avril's album isn't a DOMESTIC release, so who cares.Plus when u count the total cd sales, Ayu did sell the most.

I think the potential album that coul beat a best 2 are: tbdt kobukuro all single best new album of koda kumi (if she release it before december) and new album of ai otsuka (the same of kuu).

ayu needs to get number 1 spot!!

I really don't think so.
And kumi has to release an album first.

So far, Mr. Children is this year's top seller. Solo artist wise, Kuu is.

Although I do think Otsuka Ai will release an album in the fall (she's already long overdue for one), I don't think it will be a threat to A BEST 2's TOP 10 yearly position.

since its still the beginning of the year i think I Ayu's spot is temporary another Best album, or even kuu album could pass her.and if this is a good year for Ai she probably could too

holy crap Mr. Children's HOME sold a million??

I really don't think so was meant that I really don't think another album of ai will outsell A BEST 2.
