(+) This means that the plays keep raising.





keep in mind that this doesn't mean how many listeners the singers have, talking about the number of listeners its a different story

I will publish the top 20 by number of listeners soon too!





I found this very funny! Because I thought that koda kumi and namie amuro would be third and fourth, and also many people talks bad about ayu and she still tops the charts all the time etc ^^



feel free to comment about this information!





EDIT: I picked the most popular Jpop female singers that I know for this! so if you know/found any other female artist with more plays than any of this listed here, please tell me and show me and I will put them up
