Various Ayu sales facts

[ayu_fan929]

^Then they probably mean avex managed artists. (which I'm not too sure about since H sold the least out of the 5 million sellers)

It was the fastest million selling single when that document was released, I belive it was back in 2003, I don't remember which one it was. I still think it's up there, it's possible it still is the fastest selling million single, does anyone know? Did it sell 1,000,000 copies the first day?

hehe.

Well although I don't know when the Mr. Children single that holds the highest 1st week sales was released, I do know that after H: a) that there have only been 3 million selling singles (which were all by Johnny's) and b ) none of Mr. Children's singles have sold a million after H. Maybe they mean 'fastest ever' in 2002?

It was probably the fastest selling single for Ayu. I think Utada Hikaru's early singles were million sellers on the first week.

Well 'H' took like 3-4 months to reach a million + it sold the least out of all 5 of the million selling singles; I would think A, M, Boys & Girls and SEASONS would have sold a million faster than H did, since they all have higher sales.

I think since }{ was released, only three singles sold one million copies (Shuuji to Akira, Orange Range and NEWS). Utada Hikaru; Mr. Children and Namie Amuro sold one million copies faster and before H was released.

Um, I just saw that ayu_fan929 already said most of this things, so yeah... the info isn't right.

[nodoka]

hmm...I don't know if I would believe the numbers..

[Dustie]

wow, BLUE BIRD broke through 300k?... That's wonderful... if it's true...

[ayu_fan929]

Well these numbers are from avex themselves, although I think they counted shipped/sold to stores.

[andre2907]

Yes, I believe it's copies shipped, not copies sold.

[immel]

No need beliving, this IS the shipped amount of copies, the amount that avex and Ayu earn cash from, not the actual sold amount that the retail stores earn cash from.

Looking at the number of shipped copies we can expect Koi no Tsubomi to outsell Blue Bird already this or the next week.

[darkswordz]

at least BB is performing decently well

[Kodayumi]
