True, stores need a license from Oricon so stuff can be counted on oricon i herd.
sifow COULD be selling DECENTLY but her sales are just not counted.
Her albums that charted are most likely the few copies that sold in big stores like HMV, Tower records etc, and those stores don't carry many copies of her stuff. I was told from a member that when he went in CD shops, most of them didnt carry sifow's stuff and those that did, only carried one of each release.
Would anyone like to make a banner for the thread?
