I don't think they share great parts of fans, so it's not likely that they would steal themselves sales on the same day. but avex may have an eye on keeping her streak going since even 30k sellers can get to #1 nowadays.
but in this case they may have miscalculated the selling power of shu-whatever. ayu's and other established artist's selling power is quite well-known, new artists are kind of unpredictable in the japanese market (also look at thelma...).
