[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~Party Queen~ III

[Delicious n Bold]

So, is PQ officially dead dead dead on the charts now?

[Cornie]

Yes. We have to wait for the yearly to see the exact numbers, I hope that PQ reaching 150 k..

[ayumisrael]

The yearly numbers won't be different if it's not charting...

[Cornie]

^I didn't know about that. So if the album is don't reach the top 300 (just forexample 420.), than that numbers it isn't counting in the end?

[ayumisrael]

Yes.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ that is sooo stupid.... it could sell 100-400 copies for the next 6 months... and that would be 400-1600 copies in the long run... man!

Party Queen did not do as well as I wanted it to do, but it did do go considering.

Top 40!
Get used to it, Ayu.
This may not ever happen again.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ but if you think about all the releases she has had this year...
over 400K in sales... pretty good really. lol

[Chibi-Chan]

Top 40 isn't bad. ^-^

[calltome]

Wow koda kumi and ayu are always right next to each other. When it comes down to overall sales!!

[Delicious n Bold]

They ARE best buddies/arch nemesises

[SolarAngel]

Hmm it doesn't look too dire or bleak for Ayu from this perspective. 2 albums in top 50 for 2012. Thanks for the info!

[TeamAyu2004]

or the fact that she sold over 400K...
how many solo's can do that in today's state of album sales.

[elaniel]

^^ Namie did it with just one album.

I think Ayu needs to re-evaluate some things and come back strong. It is a shame, but she had a long run of success. She's still successful, but don't think she'll be doing huge numbers again.

[RealLight]

I'm surprised that Namie is out of the Top 10. '-'

So?
I didn't say anything about namie. I'm talking about Ayumi.

[elaniel]

You said "how many solo's can do that in today's state of album sales." Just pointing out that Namie did it with one album.

400k is a good number, but that would be a great number for one album.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ I wasn't saying that ayumi is the only one... but how many can say that.

2 female solos? it doesnt really matter HOW many releases you have, but the final number.

[isthisLOL?]

It matters to avex. They have to produce only one generic Namie album with only 4 new tracks to make more money than they make from one Ayumi album, one Ayumi Best-of and two Ayumi EPs combined. Kinda sad really.
