Actually, it looks like Ayu sold less than all of the music acts on that list, however, she generated the second most income or something... (Ithink sales in 10000s are on the right and earnings in million/billion yen on the left Can anyone who knows japanese a little better help out?

lol at Exile's total. Good for everyone else on the list except Kobukuro. I don't dislike them, but I find them to be very overrated.

I would say that to us it was a slow release year because of a lack of new material but in terms of actual releases this list includes the release of: Guilty, Mirrorcle World, 2 Remix albums, CDL 08/09, Arena Tour '07 and A-Complete. As far as I can tell, the only other artist in the top 5 to release that many things this year is Exile.

That's correct. She actually sold less than all the artists on the list comparing singles and albums but she released more products than they did. Releasing 2 concert dvds I'm sure is the only thing that ultimately put her ahead of Namie since concert dvds are the most expensive of the products to buy and still Namie is only very slightly behind in total sales and did better in the amount of units sold.

I agree, Kobukuro seems overrated by Japanese...I find their music not a good one for my ears

And for Ayu, yay! even with small number of release she's winning folks!

Congrats to Ayu!!!!

I wouldn't really say that since this measures who had the highest sales, not who had the highest profits. (the two are actually different^_^) I would say that Namie was Avex's most profitable female this year (and probably easily so).

She sold more total units than Ayu and just barely is behind her in total sales with only 3 releases (Play Tour DVD, Best Fiction, 60s70s80s) compared to Ayumi's 7 releases (Guilty, A Complete, 2 remix albums, Mirrorcle World, 2 concert dvds). All of those things required promotional expenses from Avex and really the only one of the things on Namie's list that much promo expenditure would need to be done is Best Fiction since 60s70s80s bill was pretty much footed by Vidal Sassoon. So yeah, actually I would say that Namie was quite easily the best money maker for Avex this year when you take those factors into account.

But still ayu gave them more profit than namie.
And the thing about the compilation albums can be said about other 3 from the list.
EXILE released 3 compilations, B'z released 2 and ayu and namie only 1.
Excluding those compilations non of them would be that high =P

(And for the record AC sold better than EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST)..

I just explained why profit and sales are different things. Ayumi had total higher money earnings because she had 7 releases, 2 of which were dvds (which is what was able to give her a money edge because they are more expensive). Whereas Namie had only 3 releases only one of which that really had any promo costs for Avex at all and very minor production costs compared to Ayumi's releases. So, in reality Namie=Avex's most successful and profitable artist this year. (for women at least, no one can touch Exile this year^_^)

No, she is second in EARNINGS. She is last on the list in sales. Which means that a) she released more products this year than everyone but Exile and b) some of her releases were more expensive to buy than the other artists.

sidenote: I wish Arashi had released a best album this year. It's odd to not see the group that holds three positions on the yearly top 10 singles chart not on this list. (including the top two positions)

Omg I hope they don't call it that, "A" Ultimate would make me cringe! "An Ultimate" is proper English ... Not that I'm stickler for English grammar, but just THAT particular piece of grammar lol!
