Startin' 10th/(m)u 19th/CDL 8th week sales - Page 2

These are not bad sales O_o' The sales have been dropping from a long time, it would come a day that her single/album would stop selling =P

Daking · #22 19th May 2006, 06:02 AM

^these aren't good. but like i said in my previous post, there's a point where the fickle fans drop off and we reach her devoted fans, its just a matter of where that point is. if she can pull 700k+ w/out the fickle fans she'll be ok.

Well I'm being realistic here. Def Tech's album in 3 weeks have already sold 792k. Last week they sold like 128k. They only need to sell 75k to pass (m)u. (m)u will still be the highest female selling orginal album though. She will only for sure have this title until we see how ULTRA BLUE does though.

perfectdeath · #26 20th May 2006, 04:24 AM

>_< doesn't look like its gonna hit 900,000 either

Dgirl · #27 20th May 2006, 04:28 AM

How long can we see S/B break 200k?

darkswordz · #28 20th May 2006, 10:41 AM

may be 20 more weeks?

immel · #29 20th May 2006, 05:52 PM

30?

Daking · #30 21st May 2006, 03:39 AM

could be this week if we band together and buy 14,898 copies this week. Who's with me?!

Pow! · #31 21st May 2006, 03:52 AM

Oh,,
It was so bad,,
Umm,, was it only for the japanese version, or for the whole version around the world??

emi♡ · #32 21st May 2006, 04:01 AM

^^ I think they only count the versions sold in Japan right? they dont count like Yesasia, or do they?

sales are low everywhere...it's to be expected. I think Def Tech might surpass her though. I think she might hit 900,000 though.

ayu_fan929 · #33 21st May 2006, 04:46 AM

^Yes, Japan only. Only a few countries in the world actually have sale trackers like Oricon.

Daking · #34 21st May 2006, 05:07 AM

well then i guess sadly our members in japan must pick up the slack!

What a big percentage drop O_O

~_~ Yukitora~! I meant the people who came out around the same time as Ayu [female solo artists]..

are they even selling as well as Ayu right now?

freedreamer · #36 22nd May 2006, 12:28 PM

lets go japan and buy (m)u until it reaches 1 mill...haha

emi♡ · #37 23rd May 2006, 01:42 AM

I was just on iTunes, and today's top vids (Japan) are

1. Startin' original mix
3.Born To Be... original mix

Before I really didn't think that iTunes could be a factor in sales...but maybe it is. Everyone's downloading now, and iTunes is really more convenient...maybe a lot of people have turned to downloads. The video is only 400 yen...

So if you buy both songs at 200 yen each plus the two vids at 400 yen...that's 1200 yen.

elepop · #38 23rd May 2006, 01:52 AM

Ayu's album is the highest non-best-of albums in that list, so that makes me happy!

[like a debut in 98/99~?]

I'd like to know that too!

Well, the RIAJ did state that of all digital downloads, downloads through the mobile/cell phone make up 96%. So I'd think that cellphone music services like Chaku-Uta are way more popular than iTunes.

Here's the TOP 100 for the 3 different types of downloads on Chaku-Uta (Full song, Ringtones, Vids)
http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/full.html (Full song; HEAVEN is at #86)
http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/movie.html (Vids; HEAVEN at #35, fairyland at #79)
http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/uta.html (Ringtones)
http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/all.html (Overall)
