I mean, this is Ayumi Hamasaki - the best selling Japanese female artist. And on a worldwide scale, not just Japan, the most well known Japanese singer.
That last sentence could be argued over, but I really think so. Maybe Utada, but that's only because of all Kingdom Hearts stuff.
Anyways, yay #1! I feel so refreshed~

All of you guys are in denial seriously. Have you been paying attention to ayu's sales the whole week? A drastic rising from 4k to 12k is anything but a miracle <~(please stop using mirrorcle. It's so cheesy and lame. Thank you!). AVEX has used it's magic for years on Ayumi.
Well, why didn't "it" get GUILTY at #1, you ask? In case you have forgotten, GUILTY was #1 for a week but it had to be combined with its second week because Oricon rules or w/e. In it's second week of charting, it sells were higher than its 1st week sales.....
BUT it wasn't enough to beat Kobupower. Nothing can stand against the Kobupower not even the JE magic (album-wise). AVEX used all of their magic as they could but it wasn't enough to beat Kobupower!
So stop asking why AVEX didn't use their magic to get #1.
As for UtadaxAyumi popularity thing, I believe that Ayumi is popular than Hikki in Asia (not by a larger margin though) but worldwide scale it's Utada. People might refer to her as Utada but as "the gurl who sang the song on Kingdom Hearts."
