What was the top ten?

[ren0210989]

and who are the top 10? xD you didn't put those up

17 is an awesome spot
and Horikita Maki is No. 100

[KarenPang]

I added the top 10 names already

sorry I was busy editing the post D:

[sanzo2011]

At least she's still in top 20 ! thanks for sharing .

[TeddyGrahams]

I didn't know the internet is dominated by females now. lol

Didn't Koda got number 1 a few years back? I still think Namie and Ayu is too low.

[maze]

yay for ayu and kuu ^^
thanks for the info karen >3<

[jbrat2219]

ARASHI is #1, shocker of the century there

Not too far of a dip for Ayu. But what on earth @ Kumi and Namie! Makes me want to look them up xD;


[EDIT]

YAY SID!!!

[Tasked]

This is awesome.. I mean Ayu's been around for so long, people probably don't need to find her info anymore.. I mean... we all know Ayu's sites. I rarely enter her name in google

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

Sakai Noriko so high positioned?? cool, she keeps high!

I'm sadder for Ayu, but at least number 17 it's a good number

[alternarist]

^ i think she has a high position because of her police case? probably..

yay for ayu's high position.. lol!!

haha! her fame has emblazoned every fact about her on our brains, so who needs a search engine?

[Midori-chan]

This is awesome! I'm really happy for Ayu! I mean, she deserves it, because she is so talented and wonderful!!!

[Kazeyomi]

As expected boybands at high position

btw congratz to Ayu she's pretty high and luckily for no scandals (uhm.. I guess o_O)

[Vienni]

Yay for Arashi & Ayu~ But Gackt is #49, aww... ;___;

[y_nathz]

eventhough im not surprised
congrats to Ayu. Kuu n everyone else !!

[asmAyumi1992]

#17 is quite good. She's still famous there.

[Miduhyo]

Woot! Tohoshinki was number 2! Sorry... I'm just as big of a fan for them as I am for Ayumi. But hey, even though she fell down a little bit compared to last year... she's still higher than about i don't know 280 artist. I consider that pretty good.
