[Charts & Rankings] Ayu's Sales Adjusted for Global Market Changes

[Paparazzi]

Hey all, so I got a little curious - I wanted to see how Ayumi's sales would stack up if "normalized" against global market trends. I wanted to specifically use Japan's numbers but was unable to find them. I used the global total physical sales by year to create this. For example, if in 2000, 5000 albums were sold, but in 2001, 2500 were sold, then 1 album sold in 2001 counts as the equivalent of 2 albums in 2001. If you have any questions, please let me know!
