But it was a ballads compilation and most of the songs were remixed (which makes it feel more like a remix album) and it's almost sold a million, it was far away from a flop. Let alone there were some songs that where already on the first A BEST.
If it was a usual BEST then it would be a flop. A BEST and Single Collection were mainly hits (singles) in ayu's case also some only album tracks. Looking at the circumstances A BALLADS didn't flop for what it really is and it brought avex HUGE profit.
ayu had a mini-album after that with only 8 songs selling over a million, was pretty amazing ^_^.
