first week album sales?

ohsixthirty · #1 24th October 2006, 06:00 PM

i know this might be a stretch...and you can laugh and throw rocks at me if you want, but does anyone happen to know the first week sales for all of ayumi's albums? i didn't have any luck finding it on my own.

thanks in advance!

Memorial address had first week sales of around 525k or something like that..
And I am.. had a 'two week' one week since it was a 1.1.02 release, and that was a million copies sold..

I'll look it up later.

(m)u was somewhere around 650k copies over the two week period that was its "first week". Is there actually a place to check up on this, or do you have the numbers stored somewhere?

I have a place where I can get all 2003 and onward's album sales..

Oh, I can totally see why you keep it so secret

Huh? LOL

I think it's possible to find at the furthest back, RAINBOW's sales in AHS' own vault of knowledge <3

But I don't know about the other albums.. it will definitely be difficult. You might be able to find out from DeliriumZero..

Is there anything you can't find out in the vaults of Deli?

I should go to those vaults one day, although... all that Ayu information just might attack and kill me.

Wow.

The albums from LOVEppears - RAINBOW apparently all sold a million or more in their first week.. and starting from Memorial address, it sort of went down to 535 / 574k..

How'bout'ASFXX?

truehappiness · #10 25th October 2006, 02:03 AM

I've been looking, but I can't find anything..

The chart-life was 62 weeks..

And I found a 1.2 million figure.. but.. :|

immel · #11 25th October 2006, 02:13 AM

Can't have been 1.2 million first week for that album, it was her debute, the sales must have been way more spread out.

That many people can't have gotten to know about her, and wanted her album, so qickly. I think.

truehappiness · #12 25th October 2006, 02:18 AM

Well, the chart progression was scary.. :|

It lasted for SO freakin' long.. like I think it even sold during LOVEppears' release..

A BEST has a scary first week debut. 2.8 million copies at no.2 on Oricon. 200k behind Utada's Distance which was the number of the week selling 3 million copies for first week debut (which considered to be the biggest first week debut by an album in Japanese music history)^_^.

truehappiness, that chart hurts my head and I cant make sense of it. the lines blur together and then my soul burns ;D

truehappiness · #15 25th October 2006, 07:21 AM

I didn't make it <3

It's by some Japanese person. I think it's because of all the releases in 1999..

LOL... Sorry to disappoint you guys. I only have the total number + peak chart position. Never paid all THAT much attention to the first week ^^;;

Ah, are these from where MC Tatsujin [now Mad_Cactuar] posted them?

I wonder if ASFXX had like a 800k first week..

ayu_fan929 · #19 26th October 2006, 01:01 AM

I found the post RAINBOW ones on the bbs, A BEST on wiki, THEN I remembered Mad_Cactuar posted 1st week sales and I added in I am...
