I'm curious...yesterday there was Withney Houston as a guest @ X Factor Italy.
They said she's the best seller and sold over 140.000.000 discs!

i'd like just to now how many copies did ayu sell by far...

Just saw that Whitney Huston has actually sold 190 million ^^, But she is DEFINITELY not the best selling artist. Ayu has sold about 50 million ^^

Best selling Japanese artists as of 2005:

1 B'z 75,614,000
2 Mr. Children 50,635,000
3 Southern All Stars 47,083,000
4 Hamasaki Ayumi 45,528,000

Yeah, Ayu's on the list of Best Selling Music Artists of all time on wikipedia, where artists who have sold above 50 million copies are included. Ayu's finally one of them as of last year I think.

Alternatively, you could go around wikipedia, find her overall sales for each release and then add 'em up?

Kaleidoscope: Yeah, her overseas sales were never released^^

C+R+E+AYUMI: Big fanbase + worldwide sucess + 25+ years career + being one of the most famous pop stars of all time give you great chances of being the best selling female singer of all time^^

Well, sales are rather subjective... Ayu's overseas' were never announced; Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Alla Pugacheva, Nana Mouskouri and Wei Wei all claim to be the world best-selling female artists, Beatles said to have sold beet 1 and 2 billion copies, Thriller beet 40 and 110 millions... so we will never get the facts straight

Ayu is Japan's best selling solo artist-- not just female artist. Isn't that cool? She beats all the solo men too.
