Oh my god, look at the stats from almost two years ago! (http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/rankmusic/84631/full/)

1. ARASHI 4.014 million
2. Morning Musume 2.288 million
3. Ayumi Hamasaki 2.226 million

And now it's QUITE different for ARASHI.

1. ARASHI 7.057 million
2. Morning Musume 2.740 million
3. Ayumi Hamasaki 2.535 million

I'm kinda wondering where MoMusu's sales came from since I KNOW they sell a lot of different DVDs (single Vs, multiple concert DVDs every year), but they don't sell very many of them so what gives? Did they for some reason also count regular single DVD sales and fanclub graduation DVDs as well?
Arashi in 14 years (I think?) have only 13 DVDs total. It's only the last two years that they have had two releases per year. They just simply SELL....A LOT.

MM's number comes largely from some of their earlier concert dvds and single Vs - they posted some pretty huge numbers back in the day.
