Oricon simply doesn't rank an artists popularity accurately, especially with a star like Ayumi whose CDs are released throughout Asia.
Oricon only counts CD sales from stores in Japan.
NO online orders from customers in the U.S. or Europe, NO CD sales in other Asian countries, and NO digital download purchases from cell phone companies or iTunes.
For all we know, downloads in Japan and across the world, as well as CD purchases in other countries could almost DOUBLE the number of purchases listed on Oricon! I'm certain hundreds of us forum users outside of Japan bought the album, and those sales will never be counted on Oricon.
