This is amazing, great news!! :) Thanks for sharing it with us.

Amazing, congratz Ayu-chan!

Congrats to ayu~ She truly is the Queen!

Did anyone explain why the sales don't match up with what we've been told? o.O Is it only domestic sales or something? I thought both Ayu and Utada had more sales than listed here. Sorry if it's been explained, I'm too lazy to read the whole thread. xD

it's just in Japan acording to Oricon but i think she has largely more important sales acording to avex and more in asia ^^

Wow I can't believe Hikki is #3 with only 21 singles and 7 albums....I guess there's still some truth in the saying, "It's quality, not quantity that matters."

^ That kinda sounds wrong coming from an AKB fan :)
