^ I think it's meant to be highest total sales for all-time in Japan.

However I don't see any really old artists on the list, so maybe they're only including sales from ~1980 onwards.

That said,
-Maybe record sales were lower in the 1950s/60s/70s in Japan.
-I expect sales back then were spread amongst a higher number of artists instead of mostly going to a few superstars as is more common today.
