Parts of EXODUS are complete genius. "The Workout" (best production on the album, much better than the Timbo stuff), "Tippy Toe" (so underrated), "Hotel Lobby" (some of her best melodies ever), "Animato", "YMMWTBAM" and "About Me" (favorite) are just amazing. The rest is pretty good too. But there are some spots of EXODUS that are the best in her career, IMO. I forgot how much I rubb it.

I uploaded UH Live Streaming 20 Dai wa Ikeike! video that shows Hikki singing acoustic Simple & Clean and COLORS.

I think this week's sales will be around 130K. So it brings up to 600K for HS.

[TITANIC]

^ i agree. 130K even 140K...

[ayumisrael]

tomorrow is the last week's day so it looks like around 125,000.

^If she gets another 10k tomorrow that'll be about 17k... + 116k = like 133k total

Estimated totals are currently at 596,366. She has officially surpassed Kingdom and Guilty's totals in less than 2 weeks!!!

[TITANIC]

^ amazing sales...
even in 2 weeks she can surpass kumi and ayu

[ayumisrael]

That's... not really surprising XD

but not sure about YUI's third album...

[xiaou-xijiang]

^I'm surprised its doing this well. Pleasantly surprised too, even though I didn't think this was a good album.

[UHPlus]

^ Hikki = sales no.

it used to be both singles & albums...now her singles don't sell anymore but her albums still does!!!

[KarenPang]

guess people placed quantity over quality these days ?

I don't know but that's just me & oh sorry UHPlus , local press of HS will be out tomorrow .

For some funny reason/s , the stock was delayed on Thurs . I called HMV on Fri & they told me that over the phone .

Weird .

The album's just alright, but I love the song, "Exodus '04".

What? She had the No. 1 and No. 2 best Selling Female Single last Year! I think her Singles are selling great!

Utada doesn't have Ayumi's #1 singles' streak, but her individual releases do well. Even though I like Ayumi's music and her frequent releases, I preferred HEART STATION over GUILTY - HEART STATION seemed more like a "quality over quantity" release.
