edit: there are 2 other singles that didnt make it on the list cos they were released before 2000. they are:

Boys & Girls: ~1,040,000 (ayu's 4th best selling single)
A: ~1,630,000 (ayu's best seller)

[Qt Mashi]

oh kool~ thanks for the info! i always thought evolution was a million seller

[greggerz189]

i also thought that A was a million seller too---it seems to me that Ayu would have more of her singles on there and Hikki too just b/c ayu had lots of singles that were 900k-800k sellers and Hikki had lots of million sellers besides the ones up there...

[Brittany]

Wow, she's got 4 up there! Great

[Raleigh]

Interesting. It's great to see that Ayu ranks so high in these rankings.

[Jennie Mae]

It's impressive to have 4 of the top 50 singles in six years. Go Ayu!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

[Princess_Of_Roses]

wow thats pretty neat..thanks for sharing

'A' is also considered an album by some companies who keep records like these (RIAJ i know considers it an Album release)

[Kikaru]

Woot! Go Ayu! M and Evolution are two of my favourite Ayu songs.
