I would say that digitally, the singles post-NEXT LEVEL have done really well compared to Days/GREEN and Rule/Sparkle.

Everyone said NEXT LEVEL would sell better than GUILTY based on the hype on a forum where a large percentage of the members won't even buy her CD. Now the internet hype is even greater, and people automatically assume it will equal album sales. Hate it to break it to you, but I doubt the album's going to go above, like what most people said, 300k - 350k.

Eh? Really? People thought NEXT LEVEL would sell better than GUILTY? With crappy promotion like that, uh... yeah... (wasn't around at the time.)

I'd say it's possible, and that there's no need to be such a downer about this. Hopefully Ayu is able to make people who aren't confident about her sales eat their words with the sales for this album...
