i think a best 2 white and black will get #5 and #6 oricon yearly..
ai otsuka sales is very high too

^your avatar is cute but also disturbing ToT, it scares me off.
AB2 will definitely get in the top 10 of this year, Ayu really did well.
I love AB2

Exactually :love

A BEST 2 owns the list, maybe not in sales (though if we combine they does own by sales) but yeah A BEST 2 are awesome xD

Probably #6 and 7, since Ai am BEST is still selling pretty well + she's going to be releasing the CD-only version, which some people might get.

^They will count it seperately won't they?

Ai am BEST CD+DVD and CD-only? I don't think so. It would be wrong if they did that.

Well they didn't count kumi's BUT/aishou with the analog + 2 remixes version so I'm just asking...

I thought they count together only if it's the same day (so it's normal CD and CD+DVD versions release).

They didn't count 8cm and 12cm discs together back in the day as well...

But. I'm pretty sure that Oricon will count Ai am BEST as one chart entry. Like I hope they do with ayaka's new single. D:

They counted BESTYO's re-release as 1 entry. The re-release came with a DVD and was released in April. That's how it jumped from 59 -> 9 in that week.

will Avex releases A BEST 2 Box set?
I mean combining Black & White together?
If yes, how to count it in Oricon?

No theres no news of them doing that (even though thats what they should have done from the beginning) but if they did it would be counted as one whole album

my cute ava..
^^

#6 or #7 is not bad..
missunderstood got #8 so abest2 is better than MU ^^

If they haven't done that already, then they won't. If they did though, A BEST 2 would be Rank 1 or 2...beating the sales of Mr. Children's Home or Koda Kumi's Black Cherry.

But sadly, no.

It's still not the end of the year yet, so she could drop out of the top ten depending on who else releases an album.

hitting 1,4M finally, 1,5M coming ahead...
AB2 in top ten yearly is the best thing to achieve..
congrats to ayu
and thx to all ayu fans that make this kind of sales number happen

Nah I have faith in ayu.
Even if they will be 10 & 9 it will be good, I don't think they'll be out of the top 10, at least I hope so.
There are 3 more monthsand a half until the end of the oricon year.

both of them i hope in top #10.. ^^

That's likely, but it depends on how much they would price the A BEST 2 set as well. If it's really expensive, sales might be worse than if they were released separately, in fact. I think the charge for 4 DVDs and 2 CDs would be quite high :O

MOAR SALEZ FORMULA:

• A BEST 2 (2CD)
• A BEST 2 (2CD+DVD)
• Ayumi Hamasaki BEST of COUNTDOWN LIVE A 2006-2007 (2DVD)

Anyways, the A BEST 2s might be falling down another position in the coming weeks. Ketsumeishi's releasing their 5th album. Their NINKI rating is 293.80 and their last album, which was released 2 years ago, sold a bit over 2 million copies.
