^OMFG O_O She's the queen of sales.

[U-GO-BOY]

I really like Checkmate!
there's 1 or 2 songs I don't like that much but some others are really awesome <3

[Corvina]

It is a great album, though I dislike Wonder Woman and make it happen.
The gorgeous older collaborations take the cake, Black Diamond, Rock U, Luvotomy, Do What U Gotta Do...

[AyuHamasaki01]

^I hope it will! She deserves it.

[kayokyokufan]

I'm loving these sales! It's ridiculous how she's smashing all of the competition.

wow...never would have thought that Checkmate would sell so much. Go Namie!!! I'm so proud.

[adantatu2]

namie sells more than ayu or koda again, and this is just a collab. album.
so proud of her

[kayokyokufan]

It's awesome that she's getting these numbers and it's kinda like she's not really trying. I mean, she doesn't appear on shows to promote it. It's like she relies on the CMs to get the word out. It's amazing!

[Celaphorce]

^It's amazing to think about that fact, I like the way you looked at that, either way she's definitely a stable artist has far as sales and quality goes, she's amazingly superb!!

+1
make it happen sounds so catchy, I buy this alb because of that song

[kayokyokufan]

I'm definitely planning on buying this album. I'm just a little too cheap to get it yet. I'm also too stubborn to get anything other than the Japanese version.

I don't think that means it should sell less but actually more, specially after adding those k-pop girls and that dude... LOL

[Rocky Raven]

^ I dun really think so, Jpn ppl didn't buy this because of those K-pop gilrs, not to mention that they also have just recorded their Jpnese debut for the first time

[pommy48]

I don't think After School is that popular enough to help Namie sales?

[Celaphorce]

Yamapi is but irregardless, Kuu's collab album had 17 tracks if I'm not mistaken, and no new material either?? unsure bout that right now, but collab compilations don't usually sell that well, so Namie's definitely on the right track, and this just proves that when she releases a new studio album sales will be off the charts!

[bondingo]

^ Yeah, Kuu's collab best sold 48k total, which just looks ridiculous next to first week sales exceeding 200k.

[kayokyokufan]

^ Wow! I know you guys were saying that collab albums don't sell well, but I didn't actually know how bad it was. Namie is doing really well. It looks like anything she comes out with is loved by all.

On a side note, I just read a translation of Yamapi's nikki entry from April 30. He makes a brief mention of the fact that he recently got to sing with Namie and to please check it out. That was pretty much it, but still, it was nice to see that he mentioned the collab.
