It saddens me that STEP you beat HEAVEN...

[Cyria]

I'm glad STEP you sold the best, I think it's an excellent single.

Ayu still ranks high for a female artist, NANA is just too big a phenomenon right now.

[[taskin.ayu]]

Where's fairyland? O___O I didn't know that HEAVEN sold more than it. XDD Pity it isn't on the top 20 though. D:

[Calico]

Congrats to Ayu! Hey, at least she's in the top 20 and the highest selling female solo artist! (Not counting the NANA thing o_O)

[kournikova]

hmmm... still good ^^

[Coelacanth]

Too bad 'Sakura' isn't #1. That song really deserved it. Sad how there isn't one million selling single at all...

Honestly, I think 'my name's WOMEN' really helped the STEP you single, the 'making of' on MTV probably helped it alot too. Hate to say it, but I think sex appeal really sells her music better.

[Yukitora]

STEP you sold well because it was a double A-side (of which both tracks were fabulous) and that the DVD came with 3 new PVs, all of which also amazing.

Btw, Don't forget Benni K. Their Dreamland single takes the #1 spot for female artists excluding the NANA success. Ayu did win for the solo artists though ^_^

Also... if seishun amigo was released one week earlier it would've been the only 1 million unit selling signle for 2005. *sigh*

Seishun Amigo is still at the top of the charts this week. It'll be this year's million seller, apparently.

Seishun Amigo is gonna b the nxt million seller!
ENDLESS STORY almost beat STEP you/is this LOVE?

[mui-gei-tal]

goodgood! ayu is doing well!
seishun amigo got sold out so quickly on yesasia! the limited edition is gone...
my friend told me it took 3 days...then baam...seishun amigo sold out~

[*Petit*]

THen I guess Ayumi Hamasaki, NANA and Ai Otsuka are the top female artists of the year. Since bands are the top of pop right now I think it's a good achievement of ayu. She's the top female idol still, many years after her debut.

[fairyland]

Thanks!!!GO AYU

[miyakeadeline]

Of coz Ayu rulez!!!
She's so lyrics-talented!!!
Really love her soooo much!!!!

[Choyan]

Yay! Go Ayu!! XD....

STEP you/is this LOVE? probably sold better than HEAVEN because of my name's WOMAN PV on the DVD~ XD

but I like both singles

[Dgirl]

I like both heaven and step you, but it really surprises me the ranking is so bad.....
