let's use A BEST sales as an example.. about 4.3 million copies sold in Japan and 5 million copies worldwide... that means only 0.7 mil copies being sold outside japan. Remind that the cd sales were still quite good during 2001..

now back to 2007.. i dun really think A BEST 2 would be sold over 0.8 mil copies outside Japan rite at this moment... it would be lucky if 200K being sold in asia during these two weeks..

#8/9? Sad. At least she gets 600K each. This was an expensive best too!

The slip is quite drastic, but I think indeed, the cost could possibly have been one factor. One of the most expensive CDs released on the market till date! I think people are probably burning or downloading it off illegally (but well, that seems to apply to all artistes) Nevertheless, these are truly fantastic figures for a SOLO female artiste! And not to mention each of these songs are truly GEMS!

Lets not look at individual sales and celebrate the fact that A BEST 2 sold 1.14 Million copies!

And I wouldn't worry about the drop to #8 today.. There were tons of new releases in front of her including Koda Kumi, Mika Nakashima, Mr Children, etc. Even Exile went down to #5.. This always happens on a week when there's tons of new releases but I believe that it'll likely climb higher soon especially with the two tv lives tomorrow

I don't think that was ever numerically proven.

Err ... i have neverread it sold 5 million worldwide ... i have heard it sold 6 million world wide. and Ayu's popularity has really grown since then ... so even if nearly 1 million [or 2] was sold worldwide for A BEST i think many more would be sold now! and anyway, it was just realesed in more countries@

Sales have dropped alot since the early 00's due to illegal downloading getting very popular! She's done well to say it's 2007 =]

*claps to ayu*

but u need to realize that back then when a best was released, she didnt have as much fan in asia compared to now.. a lot of people outside japan only started to listen to her after teh release of a best (u can search for some threads here that prove that)..n i know that if ayu were to hold an asia tour back then, i doubt that the tickets would be selling as hot as it has now.. so yea, i think her oversea's sales contribute a lot! like it matters

One of their songs from their latest 'HOME' album is pretty good. It's called 'Shirushi'.
