Well, Prima was amongst their top 10 products last year, and this was about 3 years after her inita release. Prima was popular last year despite all the things to consider, and Sonika was in 13th. Meanwhile, Tonio, Leon, Lola and Miriam didn't make it on the top 50 spot. The top 50 are the ones we know did well last year.

As Anders has stated himself before, the problem has never been popularity, its always been market size. The English vocaloids are popular within their market; but their market isn't that big. Compared to Japan where the Japanese fans have forced the market to grow greatly, to the point where 60,000 sales for Miku alone is an achievement when the most they were expecting was 3,000+ based on Meiko and Kaito's rates of sales. :-/
