Her popularity has been declining since 2003, so that's nothing new. No matter what kind of music Ayu did the sales kept declining since I am...

Plus you know what you're going to get with Singles. For the most part, you don't know how the Album Tracks will sound so it's not as sure of a thing.

Sure that's true, but that didn't stop more people from buying the albums in the past. I was just saying that considering the singles were quite successful one would think more people would go for the album. Overall you didn't say anything that isn't obvious

I didn't say the quality of music has nothing to do with the sales (you are free to re-read my posts), I was just saying that the if an album/single is of what we consider to be "great quality", that doesn't mean it will sell well. As we are all aware that even what we consider junk can sell. That's all. I don't really need to make up excuses as I am quite aware of the whole situation Ayu's currently in + I simply don't think anythings wrong with her music
but that's another matter of opinion.
