Company sales earnings for 2004 (no source)

[gakkun]

According to Apple Daily, Ayu's sales earning for 2004 (not including concerts) as reported by Oricon is 5.4 billion yen which is roughly 51.9 million USD.

This places her 5 fifth behind Hikaru Utada (8.6 billion yen), EXILE (6.6 bil), Porno Graffitti (6.5 bil) and ORANGE RANGE (6.2 bil).

For those of you wondering why Ken Hirai isn't among the top I guess it's because he doesn't release that much...he's only been selling singles this year which can't compare to albums when it comes to earnings and his album came really late in the year.

NOTE! These aren't actually how much Ayu earnt but rather how much the company gained from the cd sales.
