Uchi is the fourth album released by misono, celebrating the singer's 30th birthday. It was released in two versions: a CD+DVD edition and a CD Only edition. The full album title and the covers actually include the mention "※アルバムが1万枚売れなかったらmisonoはもうCDを発売できません。", saying that if misono doesn't sell 10,000 copies of this album she won't be able to release music anymore.

It's hard to say for Utada since she hasn't released an album yet and it's the main indicator, but her "comeback" single is doing well.

Namie Amuro and Kana Nishino are the top girls. Shiina Ringo is up there too, with a big gap. Japanese polls say Kyary is also popular, but her recent streak of singles has flopped. She's releasing her Best album soon, its chart performance should tell clear up her status.

Yea Sai &Co was not very good and i am a huge kyary lover but im starting to get bored of her music

In snowo's defense Shiina hasn't had a Platinum album since 2003. SUNNY was somewhat of a disappointment considering how huge NIPPON was.

do you guys know Young Juvenile Youth? iirc I've seen a video from her here not long ago, she announced a single for the 27th but already uploaded the tracks to soundcloud, they're certified bops, let's give the good sis a listen

I think it was cute of her.

Mint is #1 on iTunes. Where is Britneyfan? I'm sending flowers to lament her faves' careers.

#4 on Oricon. A mess.

StarlightShimmers

Namie Amuro is here to stay, Utada ain't going to erase her. I love Namie and Utada, but they are not going to erase each another, they have different fans.

I've been jammin' to Chit Chat for days now, its just so tacky cute. "Didn't I tell you about yesterday? *giggles*"

Suilen

^this tea. Mint isn't doing as well as I expected (though digitally it could be her biggest song in two years), albums is where her power is I guess.

I heard Young Juvenile Youth album a month ago, but I liked only the song they have a video for. There is some potential though.
