But I think that HEAVEN ang fairyland will do better, at least HEAVEN. Looking at the top sellers there are movie tie ups.

[ayu_fan929]

B&D/Pride is now at 124,645.
HEAVEN is now at 324,794.

I don't know about the singles sales, but some of the album sales are wrong.

DUTY didn't sold 3 million copies, it sold 2,904,420 million copies.

I AM didn't sold 3 million, either. It sold 2,301,020 million copies.

Loveppears number is right (well, almost: 2,562 million copies).

RAINBOW numbers are right, too.

MY STORY numbers are wrong, too. I know according to someone translation the album sold over 1,3 million, but believe me, this is WRONG. According to the ORICON official database the album sold 1,1 million.

A SONG FOR XX sold 1,451,910.

And A BALLADS sold 917,555 while in Oricon (it's probably over 1 million now, but it's her weakest selling album).

This numbers WHILE in Oricon charts.

"A BALLADS" has passed a million. It was mentioned in Oricon.

Thanks for the other numbers!
