[News article] Ayu best selling artist of the year

二OO七年日本的樂壇出現一個現象,就是眾歌手平分天下,不會像去年般只得倖田來未一人獨佔鰲頭。新一期《 日經Entertainment》公布了今年歌手的銷售成績,「步姐」濱崎步再次發威,成為今年最賣得的歌 手。

「步姐」戰略成功
雜誌統計了由今年初至十一月十一日的唱片銷售額,統計顯示,今年銷售額最高的是「步姐」濱崎步,她今年的唱 片銷售價有近七十億日圓(約五億港元),不過她的唱片銷量卻非最高。她於二月推出精選碟《A Best 2》,大碟分《黑》及《白》兩個版本,兩張大碟分別賣出近七十五萬張,每個版本都有附加DVD的版本,由於 有DVD的版本價錢較高,因此拉高了她的唱片銷售價。至於今年最賣得的唱片,則是「Mr. Children」的《Home》,大碟的銷量接近一百三十萬,同時樂隊的銷售額亦排於今年的第二位,金額 為六十四億日圓。第三則是大塚愛,有四十四點八億日圓的銷售額。去年倖田創下二百億的銷售額,相比起今年, 總銷售額明顯下跌了不少.

資深歌手再起
另一方面,在銷售額十大的排行之中,發現了德永英明及安室奈美惠的名字,兩人分佔第九及第十位,德永近數年 來的人氣再度回升,自○四年的低迷時期再次「復活」,今年翻唱其他歌手名曲的大碟《Vocal ist 3》更賣出超過五十萬張,再次回復他上世紀九十年代時的人氣。至於安室則自○三年後再度活躍起來,○五年及 ○七年的大碟銷量有顯著增長,今年的大碟《Play》賣出超過六十萬張,逐漸收復失地。

秋川雅史雄霸單曲榜
單曲方面,則以秋川雅史的《化成千風》在今年賣出九十七萬張,他去年除夕在《紅白》唱過此曲後,刺激單曲的 銷量狂升,其次便是宇多田光的《Flavor of Life》,售出六十四萬張;季軍則是樂隊「可苦可樂」的《蕾》,賣了四十五萬張。不過後兩者除了在實際銷 量之外,於收費下載方面都有數十萬的成績,合計起來也絕不遜色。

缺乏標青新人
去年最注目的新人,非絢香莫屬,不過到了今年,則沒有成績特別「標青」的新人,要數的話,由四名牙科學校學 生組成的「Greeeen」的成績要算最好,他們的單曲《啊,你好。初次見面》賣出了超過五十萬張,四名成 員從未露面,但亦有此成績,算是相當難得。

translation from baba @ ayunite

Rough translation: In 2007, japan's music industry experiences a new phenomenon: singers enjoy a fair share of popularity, unlike the previous year whereby only koda kumi gets all the limeight. The latest 《Japan Entertainment》had announced this year's sales results of all artistes and Ayumi Hamasaki is the best selling artiste of the year.

From the start of this year till 11/11, highest sales generated come from Ayumi Hamasaki as her CD sales has generated a total of 7 billion Yen. However, she didn't top the best selling album ranking. Both A BEST 2 -White- and -Black- released earlier this Feb had each sold a total no of 750,000 copies. However, as each album comes with a DVD, thus it actually increase the sales generated from it.

As for the best selling album this year, it is「Mr. Children」《Home》that managed to sell a total no of 1,300,000 copies. They ranked 2nd as the best selling artiste of the year with a total generated sales of 6.4 billion Yen. 3rd in ranking is Ai Otsuka (4.48 billion Yen). Last year Koda Kumi managed to generate a total of 20 billion sales but as compared to this year, it had fallen a lot.

Others in the top 10 consist of Hideaki Tokunagna and Namie Amuro, both rank 9th and 10th respectively. Hideaki's 《Vocalist 3》album has sold more than 500,000 copies and Namie's 《Play》 had sold more than 600,000 copies.

and according to this article I found,

[太陽報12/10] 步姐唱片收4.8億稱冠

日本一本雜誌統計今年唱片銷售額最高歌手,濱崎步以4.8億港元稱冠,大幅拋離死敵倖田來未,僅次是Mr. Children(4.5億港元) 、大塚愛(3億港元)、
EXILE(2.9億港元)和倖田(2.5億港元)等。
至於電影票房方面,荷里活電影依然稱王,《加勒比海盜:魔盜王終極之戰》大收7.5億港元奪冠,其次是《哈 利波特鳳凰會的密令》的6.4億港元,
日本片則以《律政英雄》最收得,取得3.4億港元票房佳績。

It states according to a Japanese magazine:

#1 ayu - 4.8 billion HK dollars
#2 Mr. Children 4.5 billion HK dollars
#3 otsuka ai - 3 billion HK dollars
#4 EXILE - 2.9 billion HK dollars
#5 Koda kumi - 2.5 billion HK dollars

These numbers are from Chinese articles which states its from Japanese magazines...so who knows. I personally think koda would rank higher and would be #1 if not #2..coz of the amount of cds she released this year.

I thought the other threads said that she made the most... I read nothing about her being the best selling artist.

Oh yeah that was about the highest earnings and it included other entertainers, such as actors. I wonder if Oricon will give her the award, or if she'll accept it... If I'm not wrong Kumi has won it in the past two years.

The other threads are abt her earnings this year, and the other one is her ranking in terms of the no. of copies of her albums+singles sold this year. This one is regarding the sales generated from all her CDs etc. Rich avex.

Well, yeah.

But they seem to be doing just about the same as last year [if you even it out since albums are more successful than singles unlike last year]~
