and it's just plain silly to think that Avex would risk Ayu's credibility by fiddling with the charts. especially now since the legendary streak was lost ages ago on singles with Daybreak and now with albums on GUILTY. |
Well I have to agree with Luv this time. I'm not saying the sales pattern is always correct, but if you just look at oricon's number everyday and compare the sales pattern (for every top 3), you shall see the abnormal increase for MW during Sat and Sun. Yes Japanese shop on weekends, and most of the time the cds' indexes tends to be higher during those two days. But increasing like from 5K to 12K during Sat, and another boost to 17K on Sun is totally against the sales trend. Even some Japanese blogs are surprised about these increases. If the local people have that expression, it means these numbers ain't usual.
Again I think MW deserves to be No. 1. I just wanna point out that avex could do something to boost up the sales. And dun think that I dun like ayu blah blah blah because I wrote something above. I have been her fan since 1999 and she's one of my top 3 idols on Earth.
