We officially have 3 threads discussing the same topic now. >_< Granted this one started out a little bit differently, but it ended the same way. ~_^
At any rate, all these different sources and numbers are just getting me confused and making me skeptic of every total we've gotten so far. I'm just gonna wait patiently until the final sales and hope for the best. It'd be great if she got #1, and I'm sure she would be very sad if she got #2 with an album that had so much emotion in it; but I love the turn her music is making, and I personally believe that while her popularity in Japan may be decreasing, her international popularity is increasing (not that that has anything to do with her sales on GUILTY XD). Maybe Avex should start looking at her sales outside of Japan like on YesAsia and stuff. At the very least, it'll make Ayu very happy to know she has international fans.
I'm optimistic, so shoot me.
