Adorable Ayumi.Mirrorcle World will be unleashed upon the hapless public in a few days but the Oricon prediction shows that it might be facing some competition from ZARD, a singer who died last year. How did a dead singer release a single? Ask Avex. God knows how they managed to get new material from ZARD.
Also Sugababes and another flop (by their standards when Mutya was around) that makes us think. Denial was a pretty good song too. The Amelle curse, perhaps? Already two singles failing to reach the Top 10, ghastly. And then there's Girls Aloud with their lowest-charting single, the amazing Can't Speak French. But how low is lowest when it's Girls Aloud? Well, a #9. But then again with all the radio support and promotion and Cheryl Cole drama, I expected a Top 5.
Times like these are tough.
