I thought at the very least 75-100(?)K in the long run would've been good (for her) and expected.

I meant good for alan standards

The only kind of promotion she's really getting now are radio and live events~ So it's pretty good considering how she attracted 700+ new fans yesterday

[TeamAyu2004]

^ yeah, i love alan but hasnt all 2 of her albums sold under like 20K?? 100K would be way out of the blue.

But isn't she too new to have a best of yet??

For that matter what is it with artist have two or three albums and then coming out with a best off. You shouldnt have enough tracks to form a best of... >.>

Not "out of the blue"; didn't both of her albums sell around 50K? I was just figuring a compilation album would sell more than that.
EDIT: Apparently 20K O__O

In any case, it should, it deserves to sell more, but in any case I hope she makes enough to have her bigger room.

I'm addicted to Kaze ni mukau hana lately.

Lol considering how 1st album had 7 singles

[FIRSTKLAS]

^I think it's Voice of EARTH that really paved the way for this best album. The thing has so many singles that if Avex had waited for alan to release another studio album first, her best album *still* would've been 2 CDs.

[pommy48]

alan is #14 today The mini-live yesterday really helped lol

[OogoeDiamond]

lets hope best will be a way to somekind of rise in popularity?

[Midori-chan]

alan deserves so much better. I wish, more people would recognise her talent and start supporting her by buying her singles and albums.
But hey, the "Best of" is doing quite well in the charts so let's be happy for alan!!!

I can't wait until my copy arrives.
I ordered at "YesAsia", because I always have to pay soooooooo much money when I buy stuff at "CDJapan" (shipping + customs duty cost more than the album itself! -.-'')!!

[adantatu2]

yay!! i'm happy with the peaks, probably she is gonna be #15 or #16 like her 2 studio albums,Voice of EARTH was #15 and my life #16, both sold around 11k the first week.
if this happen, her sales are gonna be steady

[GREENsora]

YAYY, I got a reply from alan on Twitter! made my day

Singles don't equal hits... unless this is something like a single best of album... which would be okay to gather all her singles, but still.. only two albums...

at least they packaged it with a mini album!

I still dont like how the album people do things.. lol.. i just don't think you can have enough good tracks for a best of.
But I guess musically you can. its jsut not a very good verity... with only two albums and released not even a year apart...

yes i agree with you, if she had released another album THEN a best it would have been more successful, not only because there would have been more variety but her popularity would have increasedwith time no? XP
at least its doing well on the charts

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

where were you the past 3+ years since ashita e no sanka



lol anyway I'm super excited!!! I wonder if they will want to try something new and fresh or stick to the ballads... I hope for more songs like Diamond and Over the clouds

[pommy48]

I would kill...a lot of people to get another Over the clouds...or BRAVE!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

OMG BRAVE too!

And for ballads, something like ashita e no sanka would just kill me

Nowhere, sorry... I'm kind of considering alan as a new artist to my portfolio, though I have heard about her, just not the songs...

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Nah I should be sorry, I just assume everybody knows everything about her and her music instantly when they pop into this thread lol
