Well, if you look at the last singles released by BoA, Utada, Koda, Mika, and Hyde, none of them got to 150,000 - most didn't even make it past 100,000. And I don't think many singles have passed 200,000 since Dec. except for a few groups like Kat-tun(which is to be expected after all the hype.)

Also it hasn't taken much sales to reach number one. If you look at the list of lowest selling singles to reach #1, most of them have come out between Fall 05 and now.

I guess the real test will be the sales ranking this week because B'z has a new single coming out and their sales are the most comparable to Ayu's.
