source: Yeah!! J-Pop!

^ I'm pretty sure A BALLADS sold over a million though...

oooo forgiveness sold so badly. i guess that is why they released NTWS in november...cos they know forgiveness didnt have a chance of winning awards...

and fly high is supposed to be limited to 300,000 copies right? how come it sold 359,430????

mikki, your figures seem unusually high.. :S

thx for the number... :)

i was thinking about the same...initially i thought it was because these figures are more updated than the hamasaki repblic figures, until i saw the fly high sales of course :)

^ it's not like I made them up.

look for yourself if you wish.
Or you can enlighten me with your extensive knowledge.

dont get defensive...we're just a bit confused

...cant believe M.A. sold less than ASFXX..O_o

i thought H got through the 1 million mark? or was that voyage?

^ Yes, "H" was the only million seller of 2002.

*Steals the sales figures to rub in the faces of friends at college that thought I exagerated how big Ayu's sales were in my little speech about my musical idols!* >_< haha I shall show them! oh and...go Ayu I never knew the sales were actually THAT big 'specially for singles... o.o

A Best sold 4.650.000. If you don't believe me, see it for yourself: http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept...j/version-all/

cool... ^^;;;

Rody!, no one said we dont believe you. calm down.

thank you for yourcontribution to this thread.

Now that I think about it, Mitkki's figures are probably correct, for the most part. Fly high, I'm not so sure about. I'm quite certain that only 300,000 copies were issued. Anyway, I'm going to show for those that are possible, what each of those releases would have had to sell each week on average to get from HCE's numbers to Mitkki's posted ones, minus fly high, for obvious reasons. Some will need more explanation though... well you see them. :)
