I'd just like to point out that Oricon isn't 100% accurate:

Naturally, merchandise released from only excepted markets cannot reach to the chart. For example, debut single of the idol group called NEWS was released at 7-Eleven only (any convenience stores haven't added to registered shops), and did not climb to chart. Before leading of POS, result of the charts had depended on Faxes which had sent from record shops. The announced sales of materials by the Oricon are only an inferential value, not completely accurate one.

And can someone tell me why BLUE BIRD's ranking went from 322000 to 349000 from the 3rd trimester of 2006 into the 1st of 2007? Even if it is shipped copies, that means more stores must have ordered more copies of the single right? Which means the ones IN the stores must have been selling or sold out, right? The same thing happened for Secret
