My list that refers to reasons the sales are so low:

1) ALBUM COVERS The reasons have already been stated as to why this would be a turn off to fans.
2) Album title
3) Party Queen as a title + ****ty album covers give people the wrong impression as to what this album is all about. Seeing song titles such as "NaNaNa" and "Shake It <3" may also potentially turn people away.
4) Ayu's recent divorce
5) Ayu not attending Music Station due to her not being able to get a flight back to Japan in time Fall 2011
6) Lack of singles to promote an upcoming album (which sucks, because I think it's actually cool how many new songs we got to listen to; it's a double-edged sword)
7) Awful PVs of NaNaNA & Shake It

I feel like there's more, but I'm forgetting.. but... there are many, many reasons as to why sales are so low (which have already been listed but whatever). Too bad, I've said this before, but even if I don't particularly like some of Ayu's albums/singles, I still like her hitting #1
