anyways, i don't know how TABOO will do, but i'm not expecting skyrocketing sales at all, because none of her 2007 singles really sold that well, and 2008 sales were even lower. it's kind of hard for me to judge moon though, because yes it's a four-track single, but the only song that was really promoted was moon crying, the 3 b-sides were pretty much just there.
Black Cherry had a lot of ballads, and if they put those on B&L it would just be too much. A lot of people who bought B&L probably already had Black Cherry anyway. The ballads on B&L were mostly released before she really became popular, save for a few, weren't they?

I think one of the problems Kumi has is releasing too many singles. With Black Cherry and Kingdom there were way too many single tracks on the albums and only a couple new songs. It was basically like another single with 10 other previous single tracks tacked onto it as well.
