I think she might slip farther behind soon though, since her sales are dipping while the other top artists are fairly consistent. Mr. Children's newest album's first week sales are higher than Secret's overall sales.
I don't think she is likely to catch Mr. Children and no one will be catching B'z, but Southern All Stars are possible since they aren't selling quite as well as they used to and aren't releasing as often. Ayu's spot is secure over Dreams Come True because their sales have really taken a dive lately.

If who is #1 was based on length of time in the business, it would be Southern All Stars in that top spot. B'z has just sold an amazing amount of records consistently - they are 20 million+ ahead of the closest competition. No one will be catching them anytime soon, if ever.

I'm sure Matsutoya Yumi would have been at some point.
