I think the state of the economy has a lot to do with it (that's also what my Japanese foreign exchange student said. BTW She thinks Koda should put her boobies away too XD).
well it just all depends who the artist is. if he/she is a really gd artist, theyd be able to sell mroe than 250k for 1st wk or sumthing. personally, i dont think the economy plays a huge role in cd sales that much. i mean when japan was in their bubble economy in the 80s cd sales were lower than the days when the economy was in recession in the 90s/00s. n japan's economy today is better than it was 4-5yrs ago, n thats the time when cd sales went over the roof.
