BoA's still weak to compete with ayu right now, I saw a figure somewhere before while ayu takes around 1/3 of avex's total profits BoA only has like 8%, plus BoA's voice annoys me quite a bit... (no offence to BoA fans)
I would also say Hikki since she's "Artist of the Year" in this year's Gold Disc Award, she was the winner back in '00 and then ayu took the trophy in '01 & '02. And her sales are pretty amazing, "Automatic", "Movin' on without you", "Addicted To You", and "Wait & See" are in Japan's 50 best selling singles in history while ayu only has "A" single in it.
