POST YOU COLLECTION w/pics II

[~K+]

Daybreak is an album-cut single. If low sales relative to other singles released around it's time is your reasoning to calling it a failure, then call all her other album-cut singles failures. The preluding and following single after the previous album-cuts have all sold large sums.

SEASONS 06/00 1,367,400 1 21

vogue 04/00 767,660

And where is that figure of 'Free & Easy' from? If you have access to sales figure of something more recent, please provide at least an up-to-date sales figure of Daybreak to back up your argument. One minute you decide to quote your stats from Hamasaki Republic, the next you take it your stats from elsewhere with higher values for other releases.

Hamasaki Republic

Call it a failure if you want, but it's perceptions like these where tabilod articles like "Hamasaki falls", "Hamasaki looses popularity", "Hamasaki drops crown to BoA" sprouts from when her sales are still relatively high to other artists.

when you compare the singles from i am album, m and evolution sold over 1 million each. dearest, the single before daybreak, sold over 800000. then a few months later, daybreak comes along and sold less than 200000. then the single after, free & easym sold over halk a million. so how can daybreak not be classified a failure?

An album cut single is a single released after an album has been released am I correct? If so...Daybreak's sales cannot be compared to those of all the singles on I am...?

kanariya, fly high, appears and audience are limited to 300,000 copies. hence it only sold as much as there are enough copies available. but daybreak hasnt even reached 300,000. so your argument cant even stand.

and i believe my figures are recent. they are the collaborative efforts of this forum in the thread 'the ultimate sales thread' which i started.

i dont see why you are getting so mad. you have to be rational and stop protecting ayu all the time.

here's the data in the ultimate sales thread, in case you are too lazy to dig it up.

the figures for the other releases are higher than hamasaki republic because they are more recent, as you demanded me to show!!!

one minute you criticise my data for not being recent, the next you criticise them for being too recent.

k, it is nothing personal, i am just expressing my opinion that daybreak is a failure and i have figures to back my claim.
& sorry for hijacking the thread

[kristen]

ok, ovbiously you two ARENT gonna see each others' way, so can we say the sales of Daybreak, whether they did good or bad, is an opinion? Even though compared to other singles its lower, to some people selling over 100,000 copies is still a feat in itself.

So quit arguing. Please?

[luminaire]

It is a remix single after all, so that would have naturally prevented it from selling much. And given it's a remix of an album cut, it would naturally sell low - defining whether it's a success or a failure would depend on what you originally expected of it, I guess.

So chill, Kev and extepan.

m-a-z-e: Yes. Technically, it can't be compared, because it's a remix of lower quality than the original version, and it's just a cheap way for Avex to make more money off Ayu's name.
