Nana Mizuki's demure voice is a surefire winner. Her stoic/silent voice is also nothing to scoff at.

This metric strikes me as...not particularly enlightening.

But still, lol Nana-chan.

Hiroshi Kamiya is that popular in the singing category?

Congrats Nana. Still as godless-ly as usual.

Did a little math: If you don't count Sphere, Nana Mizuki outsells everyone else on the top 10 list COMBINED...
by over 200 million yen.

Has there ever been a singer/seiyuu as successful as Nana-chan? I don't even think Hayashibara Megumi had the amount of success she does.

Whats most amazing about her is that she's still an active seiyuu, and hasn't chosen to focus on music full time.

I suppose. Not a fan of her's myself, I find her voice to not really be distinctive enough that it can be picked out of a crowd of other seiyuu. My miracle angel and probably now most favorite seiyuu is Yukari Tamura. Very happy that's she's sitting firm at 3rd place against such a vocal juggernaut. But she hasn't been in many shows this year, kinda worries me.

I'm not a huge fan of Yukarin as a singer. Love her as a seiyuu, though. Her songs are generally ok (the C3 OP was one of her all time best), but not something I'd go out of my way to listen to. Her EDs for the first two Nanoha seasons were just...no. She can't sing in her young-Nanoha voice.

YAAAAAA Sphere!! - I love Minako Kotobuki. I wish Ayana Taketatsu or Yoko Hikasa were in a group. I wish the Momoiro Clover Z girls were voice actresses. I'm glad Eri Kitamuri had a showing.

No wonder that Sphere has an awesome anime running then.

I'm happy to see that two of my favorite seiyuu, Kamiya Hiroshi and Ono Daisuke, are among the top 20!

It's quite amazing that the two together made #16 since the only time they're counted together is for Dear Girl ~Stories~ CDs and there were only TWO DGS CDs released in 2011 (Stories and Smiley Time).

He's known as "Asia No.1," though I'll be honest and say that his CD sales are fueled by store tokutens and event application tickets included with purchases. I think that can be said of most sales for any seiyuu artist though. Japanese marketing is evil that way.
