I would like to know the amounts she sold overseas, coz what I read from the other pages, the numbers mentioned was from japan/asian markets

There's no official numbers on her overseas sales, not anywhere. avex does most likely have them, but they stay quiet about everything else than shipped copies.

They don't release information on how many copies they ship on the overseas editions either, because it's not avex who issue them. If the overseas issuers have homepages it's possible you could check if they have press releases on their homepage, you might be able to find the amount of shipped copies there, but probably no sales numbers.

First is Yumi Matsutoya (I think she had over 20 consecutive number 1 albums), second Ayu and third Utada Hikaru.

darkswordz · #**150** 2nd August 2006, 01:09 PM

what is this chart about?

ayu_fan929 · #**151** 2nd August 2006, 01:48 PM

^
1st Chart = Number of #1 Albums
2nd Chart = Total Album Sales (Females)
3rd Chart = Number of Million Selling Albums (Females) *I think they count in BEST albums*
4th Chart = Number of years with a TOP 10 album
5th Chart = Number of TOP 10 albums (Females)

^thanks for the translation

but do they mean by Number of years with a TOP 10 album?

Kodayumi · #**153** 3rd August 2006, 01:49 PM

Well yes avex would know the Overseas sales as the overseas are sold by Avex Asia

darkswordz · #**155** 3rd August 2006, 01:59 PM

but not all are distributed by Avex Asia

Exactly.

ayu_fan929 · #**157** 3rd August 2006, 03:23 PM

Avex HK/Asia/Taiwan/China probably account for maybe 90-95% of the overseas sales? The rest would be SM (Korea), and other markets like Indonesia (since they have Indonesian Versions). So avex probably does have a good idea of how many copies are sold. Plus, I think companies like SM might report numbers to avex so that they know how well the singles/albums are doing.

i.e.: Let's take Matsutoya Yuming for example. Oricon wrote 31 years beside it. That means from 1975-2006 (31 years) she had at least 1 top 10 album to chart each year for 31 years. (And yes, I know that Yuming might not have had a top 10 album between those years, but it's just an example)

#**158** 3rd August 2006, 04:51 PM

wow. You go Ayu. This is amazing.

Yeah remember when I bought 2 bootleg Ayu albums?

Yeah well I just bought 2 real Ayu albums. Well actually I bought 1. I`m gonna buy the other one later on today. So I`m supporting Ayu.

Freakin` Alion. grrrr!

Yukitora · #**159** 3rd August 2006, 04:55 PM

^Thats awesome

Yeah, Matsutoya Yuming is amazing. She topped all of those charts O_O

And Max Matsuura said in a few years maybe Ayu can become the next Yuming ^_^

darkswordz · #**160** 4th August 2006, 03:26 PM

thanks ayu_fan929

i'm confident that ayu will last for at least 10 years from now, and become the next Yuming!!!!!!!!!!!
