[NEWS] Billboard charts introduced in Japan

Quote:
Billboard launches Japan music charts
Billboard, best known for its music charts in the U.S., announced on Thursday that it has started providing charts for the Japanese music industry. Rankings will be released on Wednesdays, based on data from more than 3,000 CD shops and 33 radio stations. The charts will be managed by Billboard's partner in Japan, the Osaka-based Hanshin Contents Link.

There are 4 charts in all: Hot 100, Top Albums, Hot 100 Airplay, and Hot Singles Sales. The charts can be publicly viewed at the Billboard Japan site (top 10) or at Tsutaya Online (top 20).

The first set of charts already shows several differences from Oricon's rankings. In particular, the Hot 100 charts do not correspond to any of Oricon's charts, since they are not based only on sales.

creds: LNany @ JPM

This week's top 10 of the Hot 100 are:

01 "Step and Go" - Arashi
02 "HEART STATION" - Utada Hikaru
03 "HOME" - Shimizu Shota
04 "Soba ni Iru ne" - Aoyama Thelma feat. SoulJa
05 "Canvas" - Hirai Ken
06 "Madly" - Tristan Prettyman
07 "Monochrome" - BENNIE K
08 "be with you." - BoA
09 "Umiyuki" - Jero
10 "I" - Nishono Kana

I think Ayumi does more than people say ...

Because I think she is known more for her lyrics and music rather than her appearence (as opposed to ARASHI or other Johnny's bands)

Well, (don't) leave me alone was the top requested radio song (for either week or month, I can't remember x.x) so she's definitely getting some airplay.

She might be known just as much or even more for her appearance...she is a Japanese fashion icon, after all.

Thats what I was wondering... Maybe people just want to hear the song, and not buy the single?
