[Charts & Rankings] Oricon & Billboard Year End Charts

kawaii otaku · #1 12th December 2008, 12:16 PM

The Singles chart is where Oricon and Billboard differ very heavily, as Billboard factors in Airplay, leading to COMPLETELY different charts. Ayumi is not in Billboard's year-end top 200 singles. The Billboard top singles are vastly different from Oricon's.

well Billboard is new this year, but it is more accurate (in terms of singles, at least) being that it uses Soundscan, etc and factors in radio play.

i'm assuming it will eventually factor in digital sales as well (which would give even songs like Daikkirai Demo Arigatou by Thelma Aoyama much higher positions, as it is currently the #1 digital track on iTunes Japan.)

Meat Pao · #10 12th December 2008, 05:10 PM

Thanks for the info. I don't really care about Billboard anyway

Imo shouldn't have been even introduced in Japan in the first place.

I am glad that ayu's album at least made it in the top ten even though it's a best album. Is Mirrorcle world the 3rd best selling female single in 2008?

ownsarai · #12 12th December 2008, 08:38 PM

Good to see Ayu on there twice~ And both in the top 20! But it is a bit disappointing to not see Mirrorcle World in the singles chart.

maikaru · #13 12th December 2008, 09:30 PM

I dont think anyone cares about the billboard in japan right now...
Oricon is still very much the one which sets the trends.
