Glad I amused you, but as someone's who's been into JPOP for so long I figure you know how things work. It's quite simple really. Songs like glitter, Days, beloved etc. were obviously made to cater the Japanese general public; While yes R'n'B ballads like ANother song are popular in Japan, Ayu's not really famous for doing those. Just look at the Recochoku charts that ayumisreal posted. As I previously stated Why... and ANother song failed to sell well, while beloved charted quite well. I really doubt Ayu has her mind set on what the Japanese general public wants all the time. So you're comment is a bit out of place.

There is no place for a word deserve when it comes to sales.

I don't give sales much attention anyways. There are only few singers in my giant music collection that reach even the top 200 of Oricon. Actually Ayu is one of the few really big, famous singers, I care for.

Like I said, they can be happy the album reached #2. It's still a very good result for this album.

Oh and...

Agreed. Good sales in general just means that a huge amount of people is willingly following the mainstream.
