[pimenta]

WOML and A ONE are so close LOL

[ayumisrael]

Both had a slight increase since last week.

[oaristos]

Yay! It is definitely going to reach the 50k mark!

[Gustavopc]

I'll be so happy if both reach the 50k mark! I love both albums, it'd be so sad if they end up almost there lol

[brener]

Amen, Fingers crossed.

[spanishfan]

Kuu need 2 weeks more to reach 50k mark while Ayu will get next week (likely)
I don't know if WOML will chart 2 weeks more.
Ah, those days when first day's sales were 6 numbers long...

[ayumisrael]

ayu needs like 3 more weeks if she is going to drop, kuu needs 4-5.

[Andrenekoi]

Considering 2/3 of the sales from the tour venue aren't counted by Oricon and that this year's your is longer than PSC, A ONE either oversold or will end overselling Colours on absolute numbers...

[AyuGAME]

^Not counted?!?!

[Uknow!]

^ Yes, not counted. International sales and mumo not counted too.

Two weeks ago while buying A ONE in Yesasia I read this:

YesAsia.com is an official sales data provider to the music sales charts reported by Oricon Inc. The fulfilled sale quantities of all Japan Version CD, DVD, and Blu-ray music products at YesAsia.com are reported to Oricon on a weekly basis. However, according to Oricon policy, only orders that are shipped to Japan are reflected in the Oricon music charts. Sales of Japan Version music products that are shipped outside Japan will not be reflected in the Oricon charts. These sales data are confidential and will not be available to the public.

It was the first time that I had notice this and I was really dissapointed. I thought I was contributing to get Ayu a good ranking. What a silly rule from Oricon.

Now your telling me that even sales from the arena are not properly counted. What is up with Oricon?

Oversea sales aren't counted because they don't help mapping the japanese market, as they aren't made by japanese people. It's like Billboard giving Rihanna a good ranking because her song sold well in France, even if the song flopped on the USA. Venue sales aren't fully counted because labels were inflating those...

When you put it like that it makes all the sense in the world. Still,I wish the support of the international fans could count for something!

[Uknow!]

^ In the past it counted. I don't know when it stopped to count.

Venue sales are not properly counted cause AVEX can fake them. I think it's the reason.

[visionfactory]

They don't care, if they care Ami Suzuki's debut single would have sold 100,000 and not 99,999 And evolution would have made it to the million too...

And you know the japanese are not very good at moving masses

[ayumisrael]

^avex and ayu are getting cash for our support, don't forget it. And they track our copies too. It's just that they don't report it to oricon.

[Surreal17]

wow, A ONE is doing nicely
Can.t believe its been 2 months since the release X____X
Time sure flies

[ayumisrael]

Thank you! Wow! Just out of the blue after it was below 50 all that time?
