She doesn't. Ayu sold more than her in 2005, but Koda Kumi made more money, probably because Koda Kumi released two CDs [more expensive than singles] while Ayu just released MY STORY.

It's still very good to see Ayu in the top 5, though, especially since she had a quieter release year.

It's very accurate because it's not about how much money the artist made, but how much money they did for SALES, so, tours doesn't count. If the tour counted, than Ayu would be after lots of artists who sold less than her [SMAP, Mr. Children] but she would be before Koda Kumi, obviously. Ayu sold out all her concerts in big venues while Koda Kumi didn't make any proper tour, only for small concert venues.

Maybe, but I don't think so looking at Oricon Daily. With singles released every week, fans we'll have more to chose from and I think YOU won't sell as much as it would.
