hmmn... let's assume ayu got probly 90K this week (No. 2)...

1st week --> ~420K
2nd week --> ~234K --> (654K total)
3rd week --> ~ 90K --> (744K total)
4th week --> ~ 60K? --> (800K total)

hmmn... if from the 5th week onward (m)u can be sold at least 25 - 30K per week.. then it will take another 8 weeks (12 weeks total) to break 1 million sales.. That's not really bad.. of course... that's just the positive side... probly the album's sales are only 10K per week after 7 or 8 weeks.. so it will take longer.. maybe it can't break 1 million border...

Just remember that MY STORY sold around 100k after getting out of the top 30. Maybe it will be also the case for (miss)understood and then get over 1 000 000 in a few months. =)

i really think that the lower sales are really due to ayu losing her popularity and how kumi koda is rising to the top. i was in japan this winter right before around (miss) understood was released and i would say that the album was promoted very well. i heard 'heaven' a couple of times while walking down shibuya, while each major spots has atleast a couple of (miss) understood billboards. in tokyo dome they played ayu's (miss) understood cm on the giant outdoor tv repeatedly. also shops like hmv, tsutaya, etc has a huge (miss) understood section which you couldnt miss. i dont think ayu performing 'bold and delicious' alot is doing much damage too. ayu did promote her albums in tv live performances by mixing in her older singles like 'step you', 'fairyland', and 'heaven' along with 'bold and delicious'. also, even though you cant ignore the music piracy in the internet, the album is still very capable of selling over a million. just look at ken hirai's album and shuji and akira's single...they sold a massive amount of cds despite downloads through the internet. let's face it, ayu's not as big as she used to be. this day is bound to happen. im still a huge ayu's fan and honestly i dont think shes doing too bad. shes still having a no.1 streak, her music is still up to par, and shes still as georgeous as ever. also, shes still one of the most selling female artists and she's been on the business for about 7 years already. what she'll need in the future is a huge hit single. something that will make the typical non-ayu buyers buy the song just for the sake of them liking the song and not necessarily ayu. also, her tie ins needs to be other than panasonic. hopefully she'll get one with a hit drama or something.

I really doubt she sold that little. If she did, I think she'd be a lot lower than 2nd for the weekly.

now that you say it, I thought criminal would be perfect for a drama theme song *imagining the credits while criminal is playing*

That's not true. Mp3 players have become the fever, a lot of people are just buying the tracks in mp3, separate, one of the reasons Utada Hikaru's sales have been so low. Plus the whole market of CD has kinda of been severely cut, maybe people don't care for carrying huge CDs onto their shelves anymore so they'd rather fill their compact players with the music they want to listen to. Albums like Mika's BEST and Koda kumi Best ~first things~ have been pretty low on sales since they're actually BEST albums, they would surely have sold way a lot more a few years ago (Koda has been pretty strong at the moment). ayu even manage to reach the weekly top of the global charts, shows how much physical CD items have been actually dropping in number of sales throughout the world.

thats not that surprisng tho, since japan's 1st wk sales r actually quite comparable to sales in the US+UK. im pretty sure shes done it before even when mp3s werent the rage.

also, japans cd market is doing quite well, sales have gone up btwn '04-'05 for both singles and albums. this is unlike markets such as korea, US where cd sales have gone down.

I would argue that hikki's single sales have gone down way too much to be accounted for by mp3 downloading and iTunes. Steady slight popularity declines + long hiatus to prepare and promote her English-language album I think have much more to do with it.

That's why I've put "one of the reasons". Hikki actually sold way too much more of "Be My Last" on iTunes than actual cd copies as far as I know.

Well, it's only for the first three days. So that's not even half a week.
