DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 This category has fallen on rough times these past few years. This isn't based on legacy or things that happened in the past but right now. Things like current album sales, single sales, digital sales, media presence, and whatnot. 1. Namie Amuro 2. Nishino Kana 3. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu 4. Superfly 5. JUJU 6. Nana Mizuki 7. aiko 8. miwa 9. Koda Kumi 10. Kato Miliyah I will say 4-10 gets a bit messy but I do think they are all in there. And even though she hasn't released in a while, I will say that Utada is a floating top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows who she is but as far as like right now, she isn't in that good of a spot. Yuming... hmm... again everyone knows who she is but most of her recent success comes from her 2012 best album and her 40 year old song from that movie in 2013. Her new album Pop Classico opened good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her new album Pop Classico opened good though. Based on fame and sales both Ayu and Yuming should be in the list, sure, they are not selling a couple of million selling singles and then a 3x million album but their sales are still good enough to be considered in the top 10 (Ayu's new single sold roughly as much after 2 days as Kumi and Kyary's latest single after one week), not to mention that Ayu was the only artist in 2013 to have two #1 albums. Yumi Matsutoya has just had a MASSIVE best of album that outsold EVERYBODY you mentioned, and her last album opened with numbers not that far behind the others' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edna Mode 8 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Mine would be: Amuro Namie Nishino Kana JUJU Che'Nelle (or Superfly) Kato Miliyah Kyarypamyupamyu Mizuki Nana miwa (or Ieiri Leo) Matsutoya Yumi Koda Kumi. I love yuming but after reviewing it I decided to cut her. I guess Koda Kumi should be on here too... Ayumi Hamasaki I would add Ayu simply for being able to still sell-out arenas and constantly being in the tabloids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Kuu and Kyary lack in physical single sales they make up for in digital sales. And Ayu's 2 #1 albums sold how many copies? They were #1 albums but they weren't big. Yuming's best album was in 2012 and was going off of her 40 year legacy, not her current material. And Pop Classico didn't open with numbers as high as some of the other people on the list. How much has it sold so far? And all you're basing her off of is album sales. There is more than album sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemlock 1,537 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 i've never listened to one song from Aiko before and have no idea what she sounds like... list looks about right though. Go Superfly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edna Mode 8 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Che'Nelle? Really? Didn't you say* what's hot right now tho? she slays most people on that list digitally and physically. I don't listen to her, in fact I don't even know how she sounds like, but the girl is charting everywhere. She's practically a japanese singer.

Kuu-sus 847 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 1. Namie Amuro 2. Nishino Kana 3. Nana Mizuki 4.Kyary Pamyu Pamyu 5. aiko 6. Koda Kumi 7.Superfly 8.JUJU 9.YUI 10. Ayumi Hamasaki lmao @ miwa and Miliyah Kato one is new and already on her way out and the other is done w/o even gaining die hards like Ayu or Kuu I put Kuu above Superfly and JUJU cuz neither will outsell in singles in the future and their album sales are lame sauce to be higher than the Ero-Kawaii Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And YUI? Isn't she on hiatus? miwa is gaining actually and Miliyah is doing better than some of the girls I didn't include that you want to include digitally and album-wise.

Kuu-sus 847 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Kuu has fallen off worse than Ayu has. And YUI? Isn't she on hiatus? her hiatus is the most typical marketing ploy, I see her coming back soon after she is doing flirting with that band she made for some cellphone yen anyway Kuu will rise again, I mean Go The Top still slayed and her numbers have been weak but not bad, her place is pretty stagnant compared to Ayu disintegration just Summer Trip covers were so offensive to the eyes, I loved them always here for trashy Kuu it flopped into oblivion but Dreaming Now signals that Bon Voyage will do decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
