Wow! crap year for males in the first quarter.

Aww! and poor BoA, although that album did suck compared to her previous efforts.

Wow, interesting thanks *0*

Yeah, HOME will be #1 of the year, that was an evidence xD
[Unless a Johnny's release something, I'm thinking of KAT-TUN]

Ayu's A BEST 2 still didn't sell THAT much for a BEST album =/
[I'm talking about it as A BEST 2 -WHITE- & A BEST 2 -BLACK-]
I'm happy that the Ai am BEST won't outsell A BEST 2, but still, if Kuu~chan releases another album/Best-Of (Which is sure), and if other males/boysband release new material, I don't think A BEST 2 will be in the Top 5 of the year at the end of '07 =/
Awww.... <__<

Hikki is still selling really well (see the Ultra Blue sales that outsell (miss)understood and the Flavor of Life single), but UTADA not as well, since her songs are more dedicated for the USA market than the Japanese one =)

I do think HOME has good chances to stay #1, even with a Johnny's release!

it kinda sucks that only 1.9 million instead of 2.0 million was shipped...she'll never be a RIAJ millioner again if a BEST can't make it.

Go Black Cherry!
But I think, A BEST 2 should be on 2nd on this list.

They are really popular I guess, but not like hitting to the top of the sky (such as kuu during last two years, or ayu+hikki during 2000 - 2002). I mean, they have a status in jpn music industry (just like B'z). Their albums sales don't fluctuate as much as the other acts (such as ayu, kuu, etc..). I guess their hardcore fans are the mature ones who buy physical cds instead of mp3s, and they are one of the artists who have enough status to avoid release cds with major competitors. That is why you never see their singles/albums beaten by other artists these days.

I'm happy that the Ai am BEST won't outsell A BEST 2
Johnny's albums tend to not do as well as their singles so I don't think any of the JE albums will be a threat to the TOP 10.

I think Ai am BEST has a good chance of outselling A BEST 2 individually.

I think the two contenders for the #1 yearly album title right now are Mr. Children's "HOME" or Mr. Children's "B-SIDE".

Not really. You don't see any Ayu studio album outselling A BEST (even if we take into account the sales decline.)

No.1 yearly album will probably either go to a new best compilation released later this year, or Mr. Children.


Or B'z. lol
