Ayu sells a lot, makes money
Continuing its year-end summary, Oricon Style has declared Ayu to be among the biggest earners of 2007. She comes in at number two with 7.3544 billion yen (approximately 65 million USD), trailing label mate Koda Kumi by a mere .3 billion yen.
Oricon calculates revenues based on CD and DVD sales. Previously Ayu released an average 10 singles, at least 3 DVDs, and an album for every year she held the top spot. Considering she only released two singles and a two-part single collection in 2007, these numbers are especially impressive.
In addition, Oricon has published its official list for the top selling Japanese singles and albums of 2007. Ayu’s glitter/fated came in at #39 while talkin’ 2 myself finished up at #79. A BEST 2 -WHITE- and -BLACK- came in the previously-reported 5th and 7th place. Congrats Ayu!






I don’t get it… How can Koda win Ayu…
But then again, Ayu can be considered as first if she was going on the same usual rate as the past, or what koda’s going through now… i guess
