That's why I stated in my post what is common knowledge on this forum, yet the update on ORICON seems to be contradicting.

I am wondering if ORICON may have changed any policies since the 80's on counting the rankings for singles, therefore a change in Matsuda's record. Hopefully someone may be able to explain this soon...
