Ayu album sales

Larisa-chan · #1 30th August 2003, 08:37 PM

I was wondering if anyone happened to have the sales of A Song for XX, LOVEppears, Duty, I am... and RAINBOW? I'm curious to see how Ayumi's albums have sold over the years. Thanks!

Thank you for your warm welcomes! And thanks for the link! I'll eventually get around to introducing myself when my schedule is a bit less hectic (moving back to college at the moment)

Yeah I know a lot of fans prefer "I am..." ^_^ Actually my favorites are Duty and LOVEppears~

This is a tad bit off-topic, but does anyone know the highest selling album of 2003 so far? I remember PLANET chart released a list of sales the first 6-months of this year. I would just like to know, because according to oricon's way of doing yearly sales, RAINBOW will be included in 2003, not 2002, because they're cut-off date is like in november (correct?). And I'm just wondering if any album has sold more than RAINBOW recently.

Hopefully the wording wasn't too confusing x.x ...

CREA-- i'm not sure..bu ti imagine it'd be a ballads since it just came out this year..

I'm not talking strictly ayu's albums, I'm talking about all artists. I'm wondering if RAINBOW could be the top selling album of 2003 in Japan. A BALLADS only sold ~800,000+. I think it stands at 4th or something(?) But I'll try to find out for myself. I just know that some of the people here like keeping records of the oricon and what not :F Thanks anyway

It's pretty confusing now, either RAINBOW or CHEMISTRY's Second to None all I can say...

I found my answer: http://www.j-pop.ne.jp/yearly/2003/a2.htm

I guess we'll just have to wait for oricon to release theirs later, because Planet Chart and oricon always have different numbers. But it's between "Second to None" and "RAINBOW"

Side note: It looks like & will be around 5~7 on the ranking. :F
