Namie Amuro has firmly re-established herself as one of the top pop queens, achieving her third consecutive week at #1 on the album charts. Her ‘BEST FICTION’ collection debuted with the highest opening sales so far this year, and with another 153,000 copies sold this past week, the album has become her 5th million-seller. Her last album to reach that mark was ‘181920’ in 1998. This also gives Amuro the distinction of being the only artist to have a million-seller during her teens, 20s, and 30s.

How can anyone go wrong with a best-of compilation from Namie Amuro? Although it’s not yet available at the iTunes Store (well, at least the US store), you can still grab her back catalog (link opens iTunes) including her previous singles collection, “181920” (link opens iTunes).
