1,800 copies!?

It seems Ayu's NOT as popular in Korea (mainly because of a flood of K-pop artists)?

^The most popular female jpop singers in Korea are

1. Mika Nakashima (Best selling album in korea sold over 30,000 units)
2. Namie Amuro
3. Hikaru Utada
4. Ayumi Hamasaki

Jpop is not popular in Korea but she is one of the few japanese artists that rank in Korean charts.

I don't know why Mika is so popular.

I'm glad to hear that! Do you know where to find korean sales nowadays?

The one I used to find GUILTY was http://www.miak.or.kr/ but it was discontinued in 2010 (you can still access it through http://web.archive.org/web/200407100...ww.miak.or.kr/)

i guess mika was theirs cup of tea since her songs r melancholy sad ballad songs which was popular in korea before those fabricated autotune songs dominated kpop song nowadays...

Maybe it's because Mika's Yuki no Hana was covered by Korean singer Park Hyo Shin. And it was an OST of drama I'm sorry, I Love You which is pretty popular.
