I mean, look at her promotional schedule. You wonder why some of her singles dropped out of the charts like "WUT" after one week? That's why.
Well the thing is, T2M got a lot of performances, and it barely skidded past 100k. MW got about 2 (not including the tour) and yet it sold to 190K. Granted, MW got 4 additions but still. Not saying that there is a correlation but since Ayu's sales tend to plummet after first week anyways I think Avex is trying to milk that first week as much as possible. TBH I don't think it's that smart of a strategy but I don't know the internal system of Avex.

Avex's promotion strategy is odd at best.
