This list is a list of Japan's 50 best selling artists UP TO 2005. So all sells after April 1st, 2005 aren't counted.
All single + album + collection sales in Japan (up to 2005)
From Music Station 2005.04.01 (REAL HAPPY TO SEE GLAY AT #7!)
And for the Utada fans, she's at number 9! Proud :) The list is surely slightly different now though.
