Mr.Children is an extreme example ^^ Their albums have been selling a bit over a million since 2002 (and back than those sales weren't that GREAT). And an album released in November 2008 surely had months before the crisis actually MADE SOME DIFFERENCE when it comes to sales to sell better. As I said DREAMS COME TRUE is prolly the best example, but so are TRICK and NEXT LEVEL, TiTO and BoA's Best of paired with the US album which sold even less than her previous studio album - sure she has lost her popularity, but I've rarely seen examples of best ofs selling less than studio albums.

You do know that, it was a studio album with a limited edition version that comes with a BEST CD right?... thats different >_>! Please, if you're going to debate about something at least take the time to look up about it. DCT's sales might've dropped anyways, but it didn't drop by too much. Female solo artists sales are dropping, but other artists such as perfume, THSK, and etc. are going up too. Of course this is just my opinion but I think the sales are close to balanced because of this. Its just my opinion, I guess we'll find out at the end of the year, when they do the calculations whether it is relatively similar to last year or if it significantly drops. I also blame a lot of the fact on the release of BEST albums. For the last 2 years it seemed that mainly BEST albums were dominating the top of the charts to me, but I could be wrong
while now not so many popular artists bothered releasing a new best album (could be wrong again I don't keep track of the charts that often or remember them that well). I don't think its fair to exclude a band just because they've been consistent before the recession. They've just been able to keep their sales up, just like exile, Bz and such.
