I couldn't give a crap less how much they sell.

Chill. No need to get upset. What means little to you means a lot to avex and Ayu
Dir en grey is an amazing example of how little the position actually means. The position is really a very relative thing that ultimately means nothing.

Besides, we can all like what we want, but how is prefering sales over positions being negative? I'd rather have an artist I support be no. 7 with 23k sales in a strong week than no. 1 with 20k sales. O.o
How high something charts really only tells you how lucky/carefully planned a certain release is. Except when talking about certain groups like Mr. Children
and Arashi.

Exactly. The high position can be achieved thru careful planning more than anything else now days and Ayu's singles have pretty much proven that during the last few years (and not only hers ofc).
