I think we should stop complaining about the boy bands... it's a fact they can sell better; so? There's nothing we can do... it really is the era where we have to lower the bar for female solo singers.
There will be no way; let me repeat, no way that Ayu or any female solo singer can sell millions in the first week or anything close to that feat.
100k is the new benchmark for an Ayu single; maybe 300-500k for an Ayu album.
It's okay if you disagree with me though.
