First week sales for Red Carpet are 25,866. That's lower than ha last two singles but still higher than Big Boys Cry fyi

I think Namie is going to go the way of Ayu and Kuu soon and either only release digital singles or stop singles entirely

Big Boys Cry didn't have a CD+DVD edition though while Red Carpet did. Big Boys Cry only had a CD-Only edition which is why sales were lower.

The single also under performed digitally at #10 weekly at Recochoku and already outside of the Top 25 daily charts. Crystal Kay's Nando Demo is ahead of it despite being released earlier. I personally would prefer Namie release albums without singles anyway.

Oh yeah I forgot about that

I don't mind singles as long as she doesn't pull an Uncontrolled 2.0 and release pretty much the whole album beforehand but these days unless they are made really worthwhile (like Kuu used to with ha Summer singles) theres no point releasing them physically.

A BEST is 6 positions higher than _genic on Recochoku's year-end list Time to switch some faces on that gif.

Oh wow, looks like my Best Of title promo is working.

A BEST being the #2 most downloaded album on 2015 is just... I wish Japan paid attention to Ayu now, she has released great music this year imo

Thank god our thread is still a safe haven where I can we can say anything we want

And I hope it will stay this way. I still remember the dragging fest with Britfan, Itsuky, Frost and others.

Everything Ayu has released this year has been trash except from the upcoming Many Classic Moments.

At least the GP are buying her best years worth of music.

I rarely listen to her music these days, but I still feel the obligation to buy everything she releases on iTunes. I just cannot let go of the nostalgia.

Sayonara, Summer Diary, Sorrows, Shape of love, The GIFT, WARNING and NO FUTURE have been great tho

Hopefully I will be able to get a hold of this year's CDL ticket and finally see her live for the first time.

I only really liked Sayonara, everything else has been forgettable.

I hope you get to see her! I really hope she performs Many Classic Moments.

I'm in Japan when Kuu is touring next year so hopefully I'll get to see her.

Btw which was the best j-pop song this year?
For me was undoubtedly Inochi wa Utsukushii by Nogizaka46: the flawless lyrics, the flawless melody, the flawless choreography, the flawless music video, the way they efortlessly slay AKB48 in every aspect

Tune in to my Best Of to find out!

Lovely song.

Now that Ayumi is slaying the charts and her music again, it's time for me to bandwagon her just like in the past when I used to be perched for those Oricon threads on AHS.

The good thing about Winter Diary is that it references her gay anthem Feel The Love.

Not here for a boring ass Christmas song though.

[MirrorcleMonster]

I love Winter Diary, its different from her christmas ballads, the most christmas sounding dftly

[Suilen]

Better than White Light already.
