Through favorite additions, the group became the artist most strongly supported by AWA users in April, demonstrating a depth of support that goes beyond everyday listening. Ayumi Hamasaki ranked No. 1 in the “Most Searched Artists” ranking. She was searched for more than any other artist by AWA users in April, drawing renewed attention as an artist listeners want to hear and follow. Mrs. GREEN APPLE ranked No. 1 in the “Artists That Energized the Rising Chart” ranking.
