Which doesn't mean the physical sales are dead (who ever has given you that info lied to you...). Face the fact that Billboard means nothing to Japanese artists and record labels and it will most likely never get the status Oricon has. Counting airplay is pretty stupid as if something can easily be manipulated by record labels it's the radio and TV airplay ^^
