- The release date was changed to compete with Hikki new album. Lots of atention from the media because of that. But, Ayu promotion was 10 times bigger than what Toshiba-EMI did for Hikki.

- At the first week, Distance sold 3 million copies on the first week, while A Best sold 2,87 million copies. Distance was #1 in the first week, A Best #1 in the second week.

- At the end, DISTANCE sold 4.46 million copies being the 4th best-selling album in Japanese history. A BEST sold 4,28 million being the 6th best-selling album in Japanese history and the best-selling Avex album ever.

- All the tracks were fan favorites, most of them were released as singles but some them weren't (A Song for XX, Who). Songs from her first album were recorded again to show how Ayu voice was better. M wasn't in any of her albums.

That's what I know.

wow. WOW. Thanks for that piece of priceless info!!! I didnt know that!
