Hamasaki Ayumi becomes the top-selling female artist in music DVD sales
 

According to Oricon’s Weekly DVD ranking for May 9th, pop queen Hamasaki Ayumi has officially become the female artist with the highest music DVD sales in Japan!

The previous record was held by Morning Musume, who has sold approximately 2.303 million DVDs since their live concert DVD “Morning Musume Memory Seishun no Hikari” was released in 1999.

Hamasaki’s most recent music DVDs “A 50 SINGLES ~LIVE SELECTION~” and “ayumi hamasaki Rock’ n’ Roll Circus Tour FINAL ~7days Special~” – which sold nine thousand and six thousand units respectively – have pushed her total sales to 2.313 million units, surpassing Morning Musume’s record by ten thousand units.

Ayu broke other Oricon records just last week when her four remix albums charted in the top ten on the Oricon album charts, making her the artist with the most albums to rank in the top ten simultaneously. She also became the first female artist to hold the top two positions on the music DVD ranking when her two music DVDs were released on April 20th.

Congratulations to Hamasaki Ayumi on her achievements!

IM SO HAPPY FOR HER! 3 RECORDS JUST DURING THIS PROMOTIONAL PERIOD!

Wahh.. After this, she can make more different DVDs and released at the same time again :rolleyes

Btw, thanks for sharing :)

congratz to her! even with a average sales for her DVDs she's still on the top!

Congrats Ayu! :D

yay ayu ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ

Awesome :) Love to see her breaking even more records.

Thanks for sharing! Ayu is sure is an unsurpassed girl that will last for years to come! By the way, shouldn't this be placed under the "Ayu Music News" thread because this involves music charts?

She's officially the #1!!! what record to break left?

YAY!

weeeee!:D ayu is invincible!^^

She was about 50-60k away from the record~ before these DVDs came out. MoMusu was on top from sales in like 2000-2003.

Love how she surpassed it and will probably keep the record for a LOOONNG TIME.

Congratulations ayu =D

Congrats Ayumi=)

She is such a great artist and person!

It depends on for how long and how many DVDs per year Morning Musume releases. MM don't sell near as much as Ayu does anymore in DVD sales, but they release enough of them to either overtake Ayu again or at least keep it close until one of them decides to retire.(or at least until one of them only releases 1 dvd a year or every 2 years)

So, I wouldn't quite call this title permanently Ayu's yet.

I'm so proud of AYU~~~~~

Congratulations to Ayu! Furthering her title as Empress!

Holy!!!!! That's amazing

No surprise. she is like the queen of everything good!

That's great :D another record for Ayu!
Congratz :heart

Thanks for sharing.

Nice going Ayu! : D~ <3
