Just had to make a comment on the recent conversation in here.

Why do you guys feel the need to come into this thread and tell people Jasmine's sales are not good enough. We're happy to see a non-commercial artist like Jasmine chart this high. Her biggest single was sad to say which was released a year ago and only sold around 7,000 copies in its first week. None of her singles have had huge tie-ins or mountains of publicity plus she isn't singing the typical J-Urban ballads. TBH, only a handful of artists sell tens of thousands of cds nowadays. If Jasmine is on the verge of being dropped then I'm pretty sure half of Sony's roster would be out the door with her. Just because your on a major record label doesn't mean your automatically going to have major sales, it takes promotion and hype (something that every artist doesn't get).

I think you guys have been skewed by big sellers like Ayu, Kumi, YUI, etc... A lot of artists find it hard to even reach 50K (BENI, Iconiq, SCANDAL, BoA(nowadays)). BENI's album was #1 a few weeks ago and only sold around 25K should Universal drop her?
