Ayu's sudden popularity in Taiwan

[visionfactory]

Edit:
My bad. She's no longer popular in Taiwan.

[jbrat2219]

Didn't she tour there in 2008? That could have helped boost popularity.

[ayuuk]

^I guess so too! It's probably b/c of Aisa Tour 2008, which ended in November in Taiwan!

[TeamAyu2004]

I thought Secret and Guilty were world tours???

That could explain it?

Also Love Songs was a huge drop...

How did Party Queen and FIVE fair?

Yeah, I'm kind of wondering...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

That's odd...hey, not complaining though! Yay!

[visionfactory]

But I think it's weird that there was an asia tour in 2007 and GUILTY that was released months after was her lowest selling album or maybe Taiwanese people simply dislike GUILTY....

FIVE was 1,24% and Party Queen's % will be out at the end of the year

[ayuuk]

^FIVE is even lower than GUILTY... As for Party Queen I am guessing it might be even lower than FIVE.

[mizuki-7]

Where are you see it ? It's very interesting I thought that Secret & A complete all singles were her best selling in Asia according to wikipedia

[visionfactory]

^This one for example, 2009 yearly chart and NEXT LEVEL is #2

No! It seems that Party Queen sold better than FIVE and GUILTY

[ayuuk]

^Really? Where did you see that?

Maybe because most of the people I know do not like the album, I got the impression that it has lower sales than FIVE.

[TeamAyu2004]

maybe FIVE got low sales because it was a mini??
I dont know how that country and their music deals with mini albums...
i know in america they are very rare and are usually called EP's.

It's strange because if you look at G music year end chart the numbers are not the same ?

[TeamAyu2004]

I couldn't find G-music's yearly rankings after 2008 so I took 5music's data

G-music 2006 - (m)u (4,4% of total yearly sales)
G-music 2006 - Secret (2,1%)
G-music 2008 - GUILTY (1,3%)
5music 2009 - NEXT LEVEL (4,2%)
5music 2010 - R'n'RC (5,0%)
5music 2010 - Love Songs (3,1%)

[TeamAyu2004]

Also, i read another report that gave ayumi's album, Secret at 3.54%...

G-Music and 5-Music are two different charts, so they won't have the same numbers.

[Kanzaki]

I think it's primarely because of the Asia tour. The whole "Asia is one" theme was a great one, and it was (in my opinion) an amazing concert! If that concert and theme couldn't convert people into Ayu-ism, Idk what would!

[shizukanaotoko]

are there no approximate sales numbers for these albums in taiwan? what about china, hong kong, korea?

[visionfactory]

^ GUILTY is the only one that charted in Korea selling just 1,800 copies
