Great :D Congrats to Ayu!

wow congrats to Ayu!! But week 1...?

Yay! Maybe it really was the sales for one week? Who knows? Anyway glad she's #1

wow congrats :D *huggles Ayu* <- I wish :P

but do they count all sales for the global chart? I mean even those outside of Japan?

^^ Yes.

I see thanks ^^

wow some artist are on that chart for weeks now and still manage to get a good spot

yay! go Ayu~~

OMG LOL! THAT'S GREAT! XD

I think what happened was the sales they're talking about was from Jan 3 to Jan 10 or something else. Dunno.

AWESOME! she deserves it.

Yeah! Go Ayu! Hopefully she'll keep that spot for weeks or even months! ^_^ Thanks for the news.

wow..congrats ayu...hope it can sales more than this...
i really hope it can sales 1.5m

This is great news! Congrats AYU!

YAY YAY YAY! W00t! for Ayu! ^^

actually, i dont think they count outside of japan sales, cos the number is directly taken out from oricon

awesome!

Then why is it called "Global Chart"? :yconfused

Well yeah, the Japan numbers are from Oricon. But I think it's Japan, USA, and UK combined. I doubt The Strokes would have been #2 in Japan.

Awesome! Omedetou~ Ayu-san!

Good question. Probably it's because it's easier to get the info for Oricon than collect the wordlwide sales for Japanese artists.

well the strokes have the us n the uk. i doubt that (miss) understood would have got onto the US billboard charts. (i think thats where they get their sales info from for the US/UK etc.) the "global" chart i think just means, they compare the album sales on a global level. it doesnt mean they have the numbers from overseas countries. ie: (miss) understood sold 654k in japan, that just happened to be the #1 seller in the world at the same time.

Wow! Go Ayu! Not only completely beating out the other albums, but also being the first of the year! I hope that it's a great sign of things to come. :yes

That's unfair. That's 2 week sales, not one, so Ayu shouldn't be number 1 (all the others on the list are only one week sales).

It's Global Charts but that's just the sales from Japan, because MediaTraffic only take information from official charts and Ayu is not in any official chart besides Oricon (other official charts are Japan, Australia, USA and some Europe countries).

woot. :D

She would have still been in first with 400,000 copies though :cool

thanks for the info, congrats to ayu

tt really good new :) really happy ayu made it to the top.

yay, congrats to her!!!!!!

You know, making it onto the Global charts is SUCH an accomplishment~

That's great!

the picture hasn't been changed for several years..

OMG, yay for Ayu!!!
Wow, the top albums sold so much. Gwen sold 4.7 million. o___o

go go go ayu,hope ayu can keep much longer

yeah!it is a very good news.!

I don't think this is more than one week sales:

number one:

Ayumi Hamasaki - (Miss)understood
Avex Japan - 654.000 - 1 week at No.1 - Hot Shot Debut

number 19:

T.M.Revolution - Under Cover
Epic Records Japan - 88.000 (10 days sales)


I think if hamasaki's sales were from the past ten days it would've said so, like it does after TMRevolutions rank.

So she sold 654 copies in one week? I'm confused now.

Add the word thousand.

That's exactly what I meant. lol

Yeah well everyone knows that :yes

awesome! congrats to her.

but they should really get a new picture of her. ugh.

Congratulations Ayu!

Yay, go Ayu!! :)

????

WOW! Good girl, Ayumi!

its supposed to be 2wks.

Congrats to Ayu...!!

it didnt say so on the chart.. but that was 10 days of sales according to that sites front page..

Technically though, the release came on 12/27 as stated on a pre-order sheet :\

the official official release date was 1/1, but it came out earlier in stores, n oricon alreayd stated the 654k was for 2wks

global charts...? is that like sales all over the world or something?

Probably.

Looks like she'll be on there for a while to come, because she has like.. 654,000, and the person in second only has like 280,000.

I know. I was just asking why it was mentioned as one week.

Congrats to Ayu :)

congrats.... though I feel that ayu is descending right now >.<

thanks
great news!

Woots!!! Go Go Go

I dont get it.....so she is the top selling artist in the world? Is she well known to?

cool congrats Ayumi ^_____^

yay!! congrats to ayu ^_~

How is she selling so much, yet SO many people haven't heard of her? :/ It might just be the fact that there's a lot more Asian music fans in the world...

People probably have heard of her, just too ignorant to acknowledge her existance(sp?).

Awesome,well done Ayu!

654,000 of the worlds 6billion isnt that much. besides, shes that well known outside the asian communities.

woawwwwwww so great

holy..
CRAP!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Ayu went down to #14 in the global chart

Ayumi Hamasaki - (Miss)understood
Avex Japan - 83.000

Well, at least she's still in the top 20.

Still in the Top 20.very cool.

wow, GLOBAL? GREAT!
congratulations ayu!

she's still in there!!
HURRAY!!

Yeay and was so exciting see the ayu and madonna faces in the #1.. although just for a week

awesome! Ayu is the best!
