i would prefer a single.
I dont think she would do another album this year and if she does release something it would be like Love Songs and released in 2010, but doesnt chart till 2011.

Any format to release the new song is OK for me (album, mini, or physical single) but please, i don't want a digital single

4th Day
Position: #2
Sales: 8,154
Total Sales: 67,274

STABILIZING! no weekend boost but its still strong :)

finally will sell over 50 million~.~

I don't know what I want... only good material is what I ask... if it's a whole album I want everysong to be good if not : give us a mini album or a single...
Because her mini albums are usually really good IMO

Pretty disappointed with the sales...but hoping for longevity... :/

Yeah, I cannot get over the sales, a BEST album should be selling a lot more than this. :(

this is sad.

For an ayu BEST album...a summer best, but still...I still kinda wanna blame promotion, but can we? I've seen the pics of promotion.

Maybe because lots of people are buying it digitally? It IS #1 on iTunes still...I just wish we knew how much it was selling digitally!

ASB is more like A BALLADS so it definitely will sell less than A BEST. I'm not happy she release ASB at the the end of summer,its kinda outdated

Weekend boosts if there are any are usually on Sunday :)

I'm really hoping Ayu will manage to get a No.1 for this year *finger crossed*

she doesnt need anymore number 1's.
But I am sad about the sales.. the fact that it was sold out in so many places most likely mad the sales lower then what they should of been.
That might be why so many people are downloading it.
Also, those people buy turn around and buy a copy when it comes back for sale...

This is a season-specific best album that isn't really like the others. If this were A BEST 3 and it were selling like this then maybe being 'sad' would be appropriate... but this is meant to be a fun little release, not some sales juggernaut.

Makes me wonder though, it it WERE A BEST 3, how much it would be selling...

Sales are still bad. It should have at least outsell Party Queen. It's BEST album and we are talking about JAPAN. At this rate it won't sale much better than PQ.

avex is still making easy money with it, so I guess they are happy.

^^Exactly! I'm shocked. I know we should expect some sort of decline for sales, but not THIS much. She is still ayumi hamasaki.

but shes been around for so long!
Its natural for her sales to go down...
I wish she were still on top, but being number 2 is still amazing for how long she has been in the field.

^^Did she get #2 weekly? I'm out of the loop. I'm fine with that...I just wish the sales figures were higher.

I mean, look how many followers she has on Twitter! If each one bought one album...wow lol
