If you look at the chaku uta and chaku uta full yearly rankings, you'll see that JUJU ranked @ #1 and #2 with Ashita ga kuru nara and that even Sunaoni naretara got #8 in chaku uta full.

Now while you can see KAT-TUN (Rescue) and NEWS (Koi no ABO) in top50/60 of chaku uta ringtones, you'll see that both Days and Sunrise ranked way better than their tracks. On the other hand they didn't even make it to the top100 of chaku uta fulls while Ayu had 3 songs in top 100. Now someone will have to confirm (Karen?) if they released the chaku uta fulls at all, if not that would explain their high physical sales to a certain extent, though considering arashi has Believe ranked quite high on chaku uta fulls I presume they did release the songs of other bands as well, which means they weren't exactly hits...
