but we also had cdl in 2006 and she managed well her schedule to have a massive TV promotion...

YAY go Love Songs! As long as it's #1 I'm happy~~~ It's an awesome album and I'm grateful for that! Thanks Ayu for the early Xmas present <333

I think the world is more of a digital world now. People download albums all the time, so maybe we have to take that into consideration There's people buying it in physical and downloading it =D

I think the sales are really good At least she'll break 200k =D

[brener]

i wonder if there will be a day, maybe in 10 years. that ayu will sell like 10k~or less in the first week of physical sales..

[brener]

i also dont think that there will be anothe female singer in japan that will cross over ayu's sales...

Are you kidding? misono !

Loljks. That'd be the day. Haha.

I would go so far as to say that Ayumi Hamasaki is the worlds longest running and most consecutively successful female artist. =D

Anyway I don't get why these sales would be so bad . This album had almost less promo than for RnRC but it sells well anyway. Some underrated japanese singers would kill for her sales lol (yeah, even misono).

In terms of consistent popularity, controversies, musical input & style... I still think Ayu is more successful than Madonna. Especially when she can gain an enormous fanbase even when there's a language barrier

Madonna released at least one huge hit and one album aclaimed by both critics and public for every one of the 3 decades she produced music... Ayu's career is not long enough to acomplish that...

And we have more very successful singers around the world that have huge fanbases for decades... Being it worldwide like Cher, Kylie, Barbra Straisand, Tina Turner... or local (like Ayu herself)

[jon_the_d]

I'm just curious, how much radio play will her love songs' songs get? any? or only the singles? or what...

also, how about music tv channels like mtv or whatever? will they play her love songs PVs more, or at all?

surely this sort of exposure is worth much more than a couple of lives.

Glad it didn't drop to 15k right away. Hopefully the numbers will jump to 20k tomorrow due to MSta.

That's great! Let's hope the sales don't drop much tomorrow and this album might actually have solid chances of selling more than I expected!

That's even better!

And even if she's already done all she can promotion-wise for this album (tie-ins, performances, magazines etc.) I do hope this album gets good word-of-mouth because if people start talking about how good it is it might incite casual fans to pick up a copy later which could contribute to steady sales.

[Corvina]

I've dreamed about Ayu having first day sales about 205k with Love songs two days ago. Really weird, cause I've never dreamed about Ayu before. XD
And I've never expected the first day sales to be that high, lol.

The sales so far are ok, she's still selling steady. I totally love the album, that's all I need.

[thatstacey]

I know we go through this every time, but what is "good promotion" to those of you who complain? She was on more magazine covers these last three months than she's been on in years (at the same time, at least), she's had several high-profile television performances, and the billboards and trucks are doing the rounds in Tokyo. What more can Ayu and Avex do?

[kagami]

^More TV lives and good tie-ins. Decent radio play wouldn't hurt either.
I honestly don't think these sales are bad, it'd just be cool to see her sell more, as I think she deserves to.
