- Information
Secret is Hamasaki Ayumi's eighth album. It debuted at the top spot of the Oricon weekly chart with first week sales of 386,280 copies, outselling the number two album for a large 160,129 copies. However, its first week sales are about 263,000 lower than her last studio album (miss)understood showing. This is because the "first week sales" of (miss)understood were actually the sales of two weeks, as Oricon blends the last week of a year with the first one of the following year, making an Oricon Year with 51 weeks only. The same rule applies for the first week sales of her I am... album. 'It was' (Track #5) was originally produced for her previous album (miss)understood but for some unknown reason it wasn't included on it.
Secret is also believed to be Ayumi's most successful album yet in worldwide sales. Not only did Secret top the Japanese charts, the album was an instant number-1 hit in countries as Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and China surpassing the (miss)understood international success, being in Taiwan the #2 japanese album of the year with a 3.54% of total sales.
Hamasaki Ayumi's 3rd best compilation (A BEST 2 -BLACK- and A BEST 2 -WHITE-) were released in week 15th.
