ouch... at this rate...
but I believe the AT will boost the sales a bit :)

Well at least it's only ~2,000 down

Let's hope so!

Hope the rate can become constant :(
the AT may boast her sales and she might consider releasing (miss)understood

whoa...... hmmmmmm....... Im not too overhope for this number.... but keep positive... maybe.... somehow...... ;D

whats AT?

Yeah, let's all hope that AT'll boost the sales.

Arena Tour.

at least its still selling
i hope the same way too that AT will boost her album sales

Well; if you calculate the amount of people at each concert [average ~ ]

and how many she's doing..

and if each person from the concert buys..

15k people at one concert times 30+ concerts = about 450k xD

Oooo xD

So we'll only need about less than half of the actual people to buy one! XD

So little to go to reach 1,000,000 copies! XD

^OOOOH, i love your new set!!!!

hrm...its going to take quite a while to get to 1,000,000 at this rate, lol.

yar *worried* :(

thanks for the info
but things arent looking good. it wil be her first album to miss 1m mark for a long time!

Wasn't one of her other albums not a million charter?

Well, A BALLADS was supposed to be all 'omg non million' but then it was 800k.. then 900k for a while and then finally it was recognized as a million seller.

:o

At this rate it wont be reaching a million anytime soon :(

oh well....i contributed to the overseas sale if its consider in it. anyways go ayu!!!!!! break 1mil!!! XD

^I bought the OS version too. But overseas sales don't count I think.

All this talk about sales going up during the tour is giving me hope... *sniff*:tipsy

huh, overseas sales don't count, really?

^nope. as oricon is a japan based company, and since overseas versions arnt allowed to be sold in japan, it makes sense OS versions arnt counted

Only 150K left to go...so little...yet so much...Com'on, Arena Tour.

Thaks for the numbers.It did not drop so much this week.

1million seems never to come.....

This is the time where all sales stay around the same amount..

Remember people;

her TOOOOUUURRRR and thousands of people seeing ayu and buying ayu merchandise..

THOUSANDDSSS. I bet we'll get one million soon!

[you know, one million albums is a lot XDDD]

I'm starting to give up hope that ANYBODY will be able to reach that mark. The numbers these days are startling, even people like BoA had ridiculously low starting sales. Probably the only ones that will hit that million mark are the best albums that were released during the Christmas period.

I don't think it will reach the 1mill. Sorry guys.

Err.. Not to spoil anything.. But I dont think that My Story's sales was influenced by the tour. Maybe like 50 000 copies in total but.. Well, lets be optimistic anyway.

Exactly. Word by word. Whats the last album to reach 800 000 after (miss)understood? I don't think any.. Otsuka Ai is close, but hers was released before Ayu.

But seriously. You never know.

Ayu's quite unpredictable [B&D.. getting no.1 that week?! XD].

Anything seems to be possible with this woman x.x

well BoA's album was just, not that good. hey its only march, theres still 8 months left in the oricon year, im sure there will be more million sellers. this time last yr, there were 4 million sellers, now we have 3.

more often than not you can't blame the sales on the "quality" of the songs, because it's impossible to know what everyone will think of it. On this forum it seems that most people think that MY STORY was a lot worse than (m) u but MY STORY still had considerably higher sales.

this is so pathetic! she cant even break a million anymore. remember when her SINGLES used to break a million? psh

true, but i think for BoA its kinda different, i mean basically 2 of her 4 singles released were flops which probably did lead to y her album doing poorly.

how can u say until so harsh? times are different now...

True though, OUTGROW was simply not good enough. But I thought her popularity would have carried her through anyway. Definitiely didn't expect sales to be at 220,000+ only, really low for a BoA album.

Unless somebody comes up with something spectacular, I'm not going to be very optimistic.

I'll just wait and see, though I really hope that (miss)understood will cross the million mark by Nov this year :yes

thanks for the info

Agreed...
