There's no way she's a forty two when her new releases are always at number one for at least a week or two. I think the people who took this did a crappy job. Ever notice whenever people describe popular j-pop artists in magazines ayu is not one of them. The thing is, these days people are getting ayumi prejiduce. I remember an old site I went to before I knew about ayu, a hikki site: they said, The said ayumi was the most popluar, but they also said she didn't deserve the title. Thats what many people think. I think this is list is based on who THEY THINK IS OR WHO SHOULD BE the most popular. Also people think that Ayumi really isn't that popular, it's just false information on the oricon charts.

i agree that very often ppl are tryin to put down ayu these days...tryin to say that she isn't popular or anything
but i think the chart of hmv measures a different thing here...a lot of those influential like being top on chart, TV ads etc etc occurs to many other artists in the chart too...what makes like the top 10 different is their influence in the jpop industry as to the direction of where the music would go..where the industry is gonna go.....and honestly i dun think ayu is quite there yet....ayu has great power over the audience now but not particular towards the industry as a whole
