Out January 1st

http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/071105.html

Includes the amazing singles, "Glitter", "Fated", "Talkin' 2 Myself" and "Together When..."

Ayumi Hamasaki is the best selling female recording artist in Japan.. she has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

"Best Selling Is Female Artist" is a misconception. ;p

When you have 12489714178797 albums a year, it's impossible to not have the most sold. - _ -

^ lmfao

boooo Ayumi sucks

Has it leaked?

LMAO at that twat BITTER because she's sold more than Utada.

And don't get me wrong, I love Utada more than Ayumi, but her fans are ridiculous with the 8 albums thing.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. I just don't know where "glitter" will fit onto the album next to all these rockish tracks.

Who me? ;p

aww...I'd almost be upset, but I KNOW I'm right.

hmm, let's take total sales and divide by amount of albums. Wut would happen then?! - _ -

I know what would happen.

But fact is, AYUMI HAS SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN YOU KNOW WHO.

I've noticed something..why do asian artists put old songs on their albums :/

I KNOW THAT. I just said it was a little decieving and almost a misconception.

That's like saying Ayumi has more #01 singles that Utada. True, but Ayumi has 40 singles, to Utada's 20. Hardly a fight when you have more opportunity. I didn't notice that asian artists put old songs on their albums, unless you count Utada Hikaru's "Ultra Blue," which has two old songs, but that's because those two singles didn't have a recognized studio album. I would agree with that and Europop. Rachel Stevens and "Some Girls" is a prime example.

omg@her having 40 singles. lmfao..what the hell. She must have been around for a minute. lemme go do some research

Ayumi is a singles *****. Rihanna pales in front of her!!

that means WORK, CREATE MUSIC
more than lazy bitch Utada, her lastest vid were C-H-E-A-P
and what's wrong, if she decides to release 4 single a year, let her be Haters
and don't get me wrong, i love Hikki, but i prefer Ayu

1 Ayu
2 Utada
3 BoA
4 Koda
5 Amuro

i'm really looking 4ward "Guilty"

^ LMAO Generic J-Pop Top 5.

HER BEST ALBUM TO ME IS MISS UNDERSTOOD

Wow, that is some BAD reasoning. The hardest working in the asian music industry is DEFINATELY BoA, as she is consistantly working with endorsments and a Japanese and Korean music career. She even has side projects with SM like "Anyband," but it doesn't make her the best/most successful. Consistent success-wise, Utada is tops.

01.Utada Hikaru/Ayumi Hamasaki
02.Koda Kumi (lately)
03.BoA

There are other artists too like Nami Amuro, Mika Nakishima, and Ai Otsuka who can be considered.

but i didn't make a list of harder workin.
i did a list of J-pop Queen/princess i liked the most
besides BoA, doesn't write her music, and her MI20 era was a mess excluding Winter Love(Loved it)
as Most Successful it goes like this

1 Ayu/Hikki
3 Namie Amuro
4 BoA/Koda(lately)
6 Ai Otsuka/YUI(lately)
7 Mika Nakashima is going downhill

and if i had to make a top 5 of my favourite j-female artist

1 Ayumi Hamasaki
2 YUI
3 Tsukiko Amano
4 Tommy Heavenly6
5 Hitomi Takahashi/Angela Aki/Ayaka/OLIVIA

Namie Amuro isn't J-Pop, is she?
She is the japanese RnB queen if I'm not wrong =)

She's J-Pop labeled still.

oh I see

i love her..........yaya cant wait
