JUANOGAYO SPECIAL / ARTIST SPOTLIGHT : AYUMI HAMASAKI

Ayumi Hamasaki

On April 8th, 1998, Ayumi Hamasaki made her arrival to the Japanese pop music scene with her debut single "poker face." Fast forward 26 years later, and Ayu has become the defining voice of the Heisei era. Dubbed the "Empress of Pop" by TIME Magazine, Ayu has left an unparalleled legacy with a record string of #1 hits on the Oricon Singles and Albums Charts as well as her numerous Million and Platinum certified albums. Ayumi Hamasaki also has the distinction of being the artist with the most #1 hits in JUANOGAYO history. Since the chart's inception in November 2022, Ayu has racked up an impressive 10 #1 hits, starting with "M" on the very first JUANOGAYO chart in 2022 and most recently with the 2002 album track "Naturally" in May 2023.

To celebrate Ayu's 26th anniversary, we count down 26 of the best songs of her career on this special installment of JUANOGAYO!
