Its only January and its already 5th place...utada and koda still needs to release their album, and exile will have their best albums as well...and plus whoever will be releasing later on in the year...but anyways, reaching top 10 or not, I'm just glad it reached over 500k. A lot of ppl expected it to sell much lower in total sales.

I think avex made a smart move by releasing together when... it definitely helped GUILTY's sales. It's one of my fav ayu ballads and it seems like the song was well received.

yep i agree with you.

anyway i want GUILTY to be in top 10....and fare better than m(u) in terms of position chart(8th) ( although chances are low as it's already ranked at 5th in just the first month )

Interesting to think about how the big female artists' sales will compare this year. GUILTY's sales are pretty good, but not exceptional. ayaka definitely won't make the million again unless there's a huge single before then. Hikki can easily reach the million mark, as her albums sell like crazy no matter what. She's smart and her releases are so far apart that people crave her and buy the albums like hotcakes. Namie has no chance of reaching a million, but hopefully she surpasses the 500k mark as PLAY did.

I sure hope hikki can reach million with the new album since ULTRA BLUE didn't and it had a better selling single song on it (COLORS), but it just might hopefully! where there is hikki labelled, people will sure buy it!

About Namie I hope her sales can be maintained (like ayu's) and not really drop like Style again...

[Lee_Hamasaki]

ah ok i forgot "and i love u"
anyway i think guilty will beat orbital period

[*Petit*]

Ayu will definetly beat bump of chicken. Depending on how she manages to keep attention to her throughout the year she might beat DCT as well. GOooooOOOO AYU!

[Luv ~Venus~]

Dammit! I'm tired of seeing ALL SINGLES BEST on the charts! Why are people still buying the album? I mean. it's like people are just hearing about the album. I have nothing against Kobukuro but I want that BEST album to stop charting. I haven't been this annoyed with BEST albums since Koda Kumi's BEST ~second session~ was released...and that album is still charting! Ugh, is this the best way to get to popular...by releasing best albums?!

[4ever*ayu]

Finally, GUILTY sales exceeds 500k!!
Congrats to ayu!!


PS: i'm still waiting my copy from YA, it's been 15days now!!

[futureLOVE]

im waiting to see how hikki and koda do with their releases this year...also there will be a few other power selling female artists releasing albums this year to contend with...

YUI, ayaka(prob), Namie(iffy...depends on the quality of her singles this year)

so this will definitely be an interesting year for female artists...

i wonder if ayaka will sell another million???

[Luv ~Venus~]

^I doubt Ayaka will sell another million. I doubt Koda Kumiko will sale another million. I don't know about Hikki. It's like her fans debate on whether or not to buy her albums should sell or million or something. I hope she does though. I believe YUI could sell a million..if her promotional team can promote it right and YUI has some really decent songs o her album which I know she does. I believe Namie can achieve the 600k mark. Her popularity is back and people seem to can't get enough of her.

[futureLOVE]

yeah...ayaka hasn't had such success with the singles since First Message...so i dunno, like i said, it'll be interesting.

[andrepaul]

million for ayaka looks difficult but over 650k is clearly possible. Winding Road was a big success.
Hikki can take the million easily like Exile.

[lovemimi40]

This year, Ayaka didn't have big success singles like she did with First message (Mikazuki and I believe), but it'll definately be interesting to see how much she sells. I, for one, think her singles this year are really great, but that will probably mean low sales lol

[futureLOVE]

i doubt hikki has anything to worry about...it definitely helps that her release schedule is spread out more than others because it raises anticipation tremendously.

[futureLOVE]

i think, like with GUILTY, Koda is being underestimated with the release of Kingdom...from what i've heard, it seems to have a lot of appeal to different genres...2008 is looking like a very competitive year...more so than 06 and 07.

I think it's possible that ayu will release a new single and the Asia Tour DVD on the same day...anyone else think this?

I think it too

[Luv ~Venus~]

I just wanna know which female artist album with be the #1 female album of the year! I'm really interested in this year. I mean, this has already the best year in years. hehehehe

I think Guilty will be in the top 5 of the female albums year-end charts. Yayaya! I'm excited! lol

[summersnow]

it passes 500k mark!!
congrats Ayu!!

Noooooo! I hope it climbs back up as well. Guilty is a good album that deserves great sales. I can't wait for it to surpass the 600K mark.
