[tetsuo69]

ummm kinda lost.... -_-

[CT_Cool]

woah 19 times, does it mean ayu gotton 19 no.1 on oricon chart

[Larisa-chan]

wow.. 19 times sure is alot. Those other artists have been around for years longer than Ayu, too! Seiko Matsuda is 2nd, but I can't read who's 3rd..

[Ayame]

I'm not surprised that B'z got first... they're really good, and they've been around for like twenty years!

That's Akina Nakamori...she was a bit like the Ayu of the 80's I think...

That means Ayu needs 6 more no.1 singles to have the most no.1 singles for any female artist....let's hope she can do it~

19 Number One singles? O_o

O.o;;
