Still not quite, that's a list of women that with numbers of albums that at least sold 1 million. So total numbers do have the chance to be different, although someone with most of the hot-selling albums has a great chance to rack up total.

hmmm. that song title, my name's WOMEN makes more sense now, doesn't it?! hehe

A BALLADS never hit 1,000,000. At most, it hit between 850,000 - 900,000.

ppfft ~~ will u guys stop nit-pickin' *grumpy* j/k ~~ i get what u mean its a good indication though~ Btw, is there any list of "most female artist that have no.1. albums?" i wanna know how ayu rank there~

[JinHamasaki]

On a side note - I wonder why Hikaru Utada is listed with 4.

I guess UTADA is an entirely different entity o.O

[JinHamasaki]

WELL, I e-mailed oricon, and I got a response back.

The list refers to just albums. And to date Hikki's only released 3 original albums and 1 single collection.
I know, you'll probably point out [EXODUS], but there's one small difference, she uses 'Utada' instead of her full name. So, that makes EXODUS an exception.

Well, Oricon doesn't count every sales, not even every store sales in Japan, as they always say.

[UHPlus]

hikki listed no.4 together with namie n Misia because both have 4 albums that sold over 1 millions copies..

but seriously, ayu's 8 albums total sales is still lesser than the total sales no. of hikki's 4 albums....

[Keichan]

oh well. ayu and hikki are both awesome though. guess it just depends on individual taste.

Yep who's "no.1" really depends on how you look at the numbers.

But I never really let numbers effect who I like. I love Hikki almost as much as Ayu though, and Nmaie is on my list of artist I like.

Fans don't really need to compare too much on this kind of thing. Just concentrate on congratulating on whoever is doing well.

But I like them both so what's my taste? hehe

[isaac hiew]

Like I said before, this is the best ranking thingie, way better than those fan-voting ones.....

[Nu-NRG]

awesome news!
thanks

yea thats what ppl told me said oricon doesnt' count big stores like HMV and such so who knows...maybe the sales is already 1 million(a ballads)

[lolo66]

... do wish them count more sales numbers though, if they're able to do it. It'll make more accurate data, just for kicks.
