Anyway I'm not surprised. Every time Ayu releases an album/single, there will always be pple who start to diss her using her sales figures as "proof". So standard behaviour it's already old.
That's a very very good example and I have to agree. And sales aren't really a deciding factor, since there are so many ways to buy an album these days (the digital stuff has become really really popular).

It's just certainly nice seeing her at the top of the charts, but the actual figure doesn't mean very much. Her sales are considered low right now, and yet she's still got a decent amount of distance from whoever is #2
