[2005] Ayumi's big achievements!

i wanna put together ayumi's interesting big achievements together because it's quite interesting, here are some of ayu's achievements, and please help me correct my mistakes if i have any! my english is quite bad and maybe you can help me with some more or have any sugestions, so please if anyone knows any please helpout it'll be interesting for me and for everone else



In March 2000 Ayumi became the first artist to have 4 albums in the top 10 at the same time (Ayu-mi-x II US+EU no.2, Ayu-mi-x II Acoustic Orchestra no.3, Ayu-mi-x II JPN no.6 and SUPER EUROBEAT present Ayu-ro mix no.10).

Ayu’s record sales account used to make up 42.6% of Avex’s Overall revenues, which also makes her largely responsible for its Japan leading 14.% market share.

When Ayumi began appearing in ads for cosmetic maker “Kose”, Kose report that sales increased drastically since Ayu started endorsing them its mascara went from no.4 to no.1 within 2 months and a new lip gloss sold 500,000 units in its first 2 days on the shelves.

Ayumi has sold more records than any other musical act for 2 years running in the world’s second largest music market.

Ayumi’s “}{“ single was the only single that sold over a million in the year 2002.

Ayu made history by being the first to win the Japan Record Grand Prix award 3 times consecutively: (based on merit not sales)
2001 for "Dearest"
2002 for "Voyage"
2003 for "No way to say"

First Japanese to have a wax figured made in Hong Kong at Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong.

Ayumi is the fifth woman to have 10 No.1 albums in Japan, others are Yumi Matsutoya, Seiko Matsuda, Akina Nakamori, and Miyuki Nakajima
1. A Song for xx
2. LOVEppears
3. Duty
4. A BEST
5. I am...
6. SUPER EUROBEAT presents Ayu-ro mix 2
7. RAINBOW
8. A BALLADS
9. Memorial address
10. MY STORY

In 2005 a Japanese TV station got the results from a survey and Ayu was throned as 'number 1 queen in the history of Japan's music industry.
Namie Amuro 2nd
TiA 3rd
Dreams Come True 4th
Mika Nakashima 5th
Utada Hikaru 6th
Misia 7th
Aiko 8th
Matsuda Seiko and Nakamori Akina tied at 9th position


I know there are more! please help!!

I don't know the exact details to it, but when Ayu started doing commercials for Tu-Ka they were doing really badly (I think they were close to having to be shut down), and then she made them one of the top phone companies in Japan.

Qt Mashi, it was posted by a member here...

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21939

but reading it again, the info doesnt seem to be so reliable. it is more like an subjective statement saying how popular ayu is.

^ that may be true, but Ayu has already achieved so much before her...there are bound to be some other artist catching up to Ayu though...but still, that's quite a lot that Ayu has achieved!

In the first ever MTV Asia Awards, which was held in February 2002, she received a special award for The Most Influencial Japanese Artist in Asia after performing M.

Then, her "A Best" album is the 5th{I guess. If it's wrong, please help me correct it.} best selling album in Japanese history.

She also has 4 best selling album in Top 50 All Time Best Selling Albums in Oricon Chart{LOVEppears,Duty,A Best and I am} sold over 2 million copies or more in Japan. Oricon Top 50 Best Selling Album Chart is a chart that listed best selling albums in Japanese music industry and history.{I read it in local magazines i think a couple of years ago}

Duty is her best selling full album. Sold nearly 3 million copies in Japan alone.

'I am' has been reported to have already sold 1.75 million copies in a week due to preorders and retailers receiving and selling copies during the week leading up to New Year's Day.{Source: Hamasaki Republic,1-8-2002 News}

Ayumi also won The Japan Gold Disc Awards Artist of the Year category for three times.{15th,16th and 18th}
