lol at Exile's total. Good for everyone else on the list except Kobukuro. I don't dislike them, but I find them to be very overrated.

I would say that to us it was a slow release year because of a lack of new material but in terms of actual releases this list includes the release of: Guilty, Mirrorcle World, 2 Remix albums, CDL 08/09, Arena Tour '07 and A-Complete. As far as I can tell, the only other artist in the top 5 to release that many things this year is Exile.

That's correct. She actually sold less than all the artists on the list comparing singles and albums but she released more products than they did. Releasing 2 concert dvds I'm sure is the only thing that ultimately put her ahead of Namie since concert dvds are the most expensive of the products to buy and still Namie is only very slightly behind in total sales and did better in the amount of units sold.
