I understand that, but we were just talking about staying power and the ability to sell consistently high numbers in a shorter amount of time.

I'm not trying to knock AKB48's achievements because I love them too, but I think the final sales count should matter in these articles, too (especially since they mentioned Amuro's single in the article to begin with). I mean, even though Hikki sold over 1 million copies of "Addicted to You" that first week, she ended up with 1.78 million compared to Amuro's 2 million.

(I'm not trying to start a fight or a debate, I just think it's important for Amuro's final sales figure to be known if they're gonna mention her in the article.)
