Is "The Swinging Star" still high-ranking?

[ricekid]

I just read a list of the 10 best selling albums of all-time in a Jpopmusic.com thread, and 'The Swinging Star' was not listed. Has it retained it's place as one of the highest sellers?

The List:
1 First Love (Utada Hikaru) 765.0
2 B’z The Best “Pleasure” (B’z) 511.9
3 REVIEW~BEST OF GLAY (GLAY) 487.6
4 Distance (Utada Hikaru) 446.9
5 B’z The Best “Treasure” (B’z) 443.2
6 A Best (Hamasaki Ayumi) 428.8
7 globe (globe) 413.6
8 DEEP RIVER (Utada Hikaru) 358.3
9 delicious way (Kuraki Mai) 353.0
10 Time to Destination (Every Little Thing) 352.0

can't believe Kuraki Mai would do better then DCT...

Hey ricekid,

Yeah...I saw your post on JPopMusic.
That list there is correct...Swinging Star is around #15 or #16 these days. I think it's officially listed at 3.2 million or something like that. Take away Utada, Hamasaki and the B'z best ofs and they're still on the list

On a bright note, DCT has more albums on the Top 50 best selling album list than any other artists, period. I'll see if I can dig up the complete list.
(Delicious is very close in rank to Swinging Star...2.9 million or so...)

PS: Kuraki was still riding the Utada wave when she debuted....
