Singles and albums are really about promotion for their music more than anything else.

Amen
The physical sales meant a lot (80's, 90's and the beggining of the century) back then since the digital sales and the internet was not as strong as it is now. And certainly the bigger amount of cash doesn't come from the music by itself 'cause the companies must struggle against illegal downloadings and piracy.

The big bucks come from the concerts and the tie ins, as Uemarasan said. this also applies in the U.s. with other artists.
Anyway... i'm so happy for ayu

she works so hard and she totally deserves it

I hope she can stay in the top ten by the end of the year

just wish Rule/sparkle could be in a higher position...

anyway... congratulations Ayu!!!
