Ayumi Hamasaki on the 100 best-selling albums in Japanese history
That's how her album ranks in the 100 best-selling albums in Japanese history.
A Song for XX: not on the list Loveppears: 36th best-selling album in Japan [2,562,120] Duty: 22th best-selling album in Japan [2,904,420] A Best: 6th best-selling album in Japan [4,281,620] I Am...: 49th best-selling album in Japan [2,301,020] Rainbow: 83th best-selling album in Japan [1,857,000] A Ballads: not on the list Memorial Address: not on the list My Story: not on the list Also, Ayu was never number 1 on the yearly ranking. In 2001 she was 2, first being Hikki. In 2000 she was 2, first being Mai Kuraki. In 2002 she was 2, first being Hikki again. And in 2003 she was 2, first being Chemistry. Ayu is usually compared to her, so I think it's fair to put her sales too. BUT DON'T START FIGHTS or debates on why Hikki is better positioned: Hikki sales: First Love: Best-selling album in Japan Distance: 4th on the list Deep River: 8th on the list Utada Hikaru Single Collection: 50th on the list (just 200k copies behind I Am...) And also, Namie Amuro sales: Sweet 19 Blues: 12th best-selling album in Japan Concentration 20: 78th best-selling album in Japan 181920: 99th best-selling album in Japan NOTES: 1. Japan is the second biggest music marketing in the world, to be in the TOP 100, doesn't matter in what position, is already a big achievement. 2. All albums after 30th position can go down, because the list don't have 2005 sales and artists like Orange Range (with MusiQ) will be in the Top 30 once the list is updated. 3. Please, no fights on who's better or who's more popular or why Hikki sells more. I tought it was important to put her because she's always compared to Ayu and I didn't want to start another topic with her positions. If you want to express your opinion on this, feel free, but don't go to far, because there are LOTS of other topics for you to do that.

No, they are. andre might not have put them. But I know they're counted cuz B'z Best Treasure and Best Pleasure are in the top 5. (might be 2nd and 3rd, or 3rd and 4th, or something.)
Andre, can you post a link to the list? i had it before but i've lost it. EDIT: Gah, annabelle beat me by one minute. Thanks for the link!

though...i have one point - i heard somewhere that all sales are counted of sales ONLY in Japan...Not overseas, not america, not australia,(etc) but only Japan. So - that's TONS of non-counted buys. So that's always a point - all over this forum, we are all from everywhere ^____^; Though - i heard A BEST was counted, but i don't see it  ..........And..I realized something.... LOVEppears was suppose to be her last album -right? or so i heard. So, it's a fact that singles/DUTY album made her what she is today. I love Duty so much <3

^ AnY, that is the greatest avatar I have ever seen used here. (I love Pikachu =P)
Anyway, I didn't know that Duty was her best selling original album. (I thought I am... was) Still a really interesting list. All of Hikki's original albums are in the top 10...and at the rate (or lack there of) of her past two singles, I wonder if her next will be as well.

I thought Namie's Albums sold like ridiculous amounts at the height of her career, is it the one that's in 12th place?

Yeah, where is the source for this? Becuase I was fairly certain that I Am is Ayu's 2nd best selling album, not LOVEppears.
