Kuu's sales are also considered pretty good, but UNIVERSE has only sold about 350k, I believe. -_- Oh, and Kaela Kimura isn't as big as those three, but her best album sold 'wonderfully', at about 400k, if I remember correctly. And considering Rock'n'Roll Circus is already in the top 25 for the year, well.....  |
I always thought there were more than just AyuKuuMie (my pet name for the Goddess Trio lol). Whatever happened to AI?!

Ah, thanks! This is what I was looking for! I don't know some of these people but now it does look like Ayu is doing well compared to others.

You know, I was genuinely a bit surprised when UNIVERSE didn't sell. Setting aside my personal feelings (
I think it sucks, sorry ) and the fact that Kumi has several other best albums previous to this one, I thought it would still do much better than it has been. Yes, the sales are great so far but a best plus an original studio album just seems like a great package to me. If Ayu were to do the same for her 15th or 20th, you better believe I would blow all my money on it.
