Mika's sales aren't that bad you know:

STARS 469,000
CRESCENT MOON 99,000
ONE SURVIVE 87,000
Helpless Rain 83,000
WILL 145,000
愛してる 105,000
Love Addict 69,000
接吻 38,000
FIND THE WAY 124,000
雪の華 248,000
SEVEN 53,000
火の鳥 40,000
LEGEND 68,000
桜色舞うころ 105,000
ひとり 26,000
GLAMOROUS SKY 434,490 (still in the top 100)

ALBUM:

TRUE 1,172,000
RESISTANCE(Mini Album) 196,000
LOVE 1,404,000
朧月夜~祈り (Mini Album) 111,000
MUSIC 538,000
BEST 800,249(Still Selling)



And I think because B'Z had little singles this year. I guess this was based on who was all over Japan this year, how song was played on the radio alot, Video is heavy rotation or whatever. This is my only guess is what people voted on.

See Music sold really badly compared to her previous full album. Same goes to her singles. The sales are mediocre and suddenly she gets a those explosive sales with NANA. Plus if it is based on sales I think Ayu should have been at #4? I donno but for me it sounds weird.

Last single before "NANA":
ひとり - 26,000

Single after "NANA":
GLAMOROUS SKY - 434,490

BIG difference.

^ ひとり sold low because it was a re-cut single..but yeah, her single sales have never been that great. MUSIC was quite a bit lower than LOVE as well, which was a pity because imho, MUSIC is a masterpiece.

sad to see NONE of the Hitomi's on the list..they all released great quality stuff this year.

B'z did release an original album this year. It sold a little over 500,000 (I don't think as much as previous albums), but I still believe it's one of the best selling albums of the year. It's a great album, IMO. They deserve higher.

yeah but none of her singles usually sell so well.. yeah. It's odd how it suddenly sold so well. Obviously NANA was a major factor for those huge sales.

I'm surprised to not see Ayu up, but I can at least be grateful that she's on there.

I think Kumi should definitely be high up on the list, but I'm not sure about #1. And it's really sad not to see hitomi on there...and surprising not to see Hikki! This whole list is just a bundle of surprises.

I'm glad Mika did as well as she did. She totally deserves it. I think she's really underrated and people don't give her enough credit.

I'm not surprised to not see Hikki on the list...her singles have sold absolutely zilch lately and therefore, she doesn't have quite the influence on the japanese public she used to. even though sale numbers don't play a part in the voting process they do indirectly because if the singles and albums don't sell then that's less publicity for the artist and therefore, they wouldn't get as many votes.
