Ayu is the 4th best-seller
http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/rankmusic/43071

According to oricon, Ayu is 4th on the list of the Best-selling japanese acts of all times. Because of Mr.Children's latest album, they updated the top5; so there are new numbers based on sales in Japan. Also this makes her the number 1 female and number 1 solo.

1. B'z (75.614 mil) 1988-now (average: 3.979 million a year)
2. Mr.Children (50.635 mil) 1992-now (average: 3.376 million a year)
3. Southern All-stars (47.083 mil) 1978-now (average: 1.623 million a year)
4. Hamasaki Ayumi (45.528 mil) 1998-now (average: 5.056 million a year)
5. Dreams come true (40.893 mil) 1989-now (average: 2.271 million a year)

I think it's common knowledge that she's 4th in the all-time sales chart, though the up-to-date exact sales are quite good to know. Thanks for posting.

Really? I would think by now she would have overtaken SAS with the release of A BEST 2 and Secret (nearing 3 million copies). I tried to find the Music Station ranking chart which also had her sales to compare, but I can't seem to find it.

Besides, when was the last time SAS released something?

B'z - 3.979 Million
Mr Children - 2.531 Million
Southern All Stars - 1.623 Million
Ayumi Hamasaki - 5.056 Million
Dreams come true - 2.271

Plus: B'z had 28 albums and 43 singles; Mr Children had 30 singles and 16 albums; Southern All Stars had 52 singles and I'm not sure how many albums (i guess around 32?); Ayu had 29 albums (incluinding her remix albums) and 40 singles and Dream Come True had 39 singles and 21 albums.

So, even if she was the last one to debut, she has as many releases as the others on the lists (of course, lots of them were remix albums).
