Physical singles are counted towards physical sales, downloads towards downloads. Look at Lady Gaga's wikipedia page. 15 million sold records, 30 million downloads. There's a distinct difference.
In terms of total downloads sold, I wonder ... would Hikki be no. 1? I'd like to think so ; )

Who was talking about physical sales? I was referring to record sales

The world's best-selling music artists lists artists with claims of 50 million or more record sales in multiple third-party reliable sources. The sales figures within the provided sources include sales of albums, singles, compilation-albums, music videos as well as downloads of singles and full-length albums.

Anyway back to the main point, regardless of what the sources are, the CNN video is wrong about Utada being the highest selling pop artist in Japan. No need for debate.
