Thelma's Soba ni Iru ne sold what, 600,000-700,000 copies, which is a ridiculous amount by today's standards. With Digital sales, it sold over 8,000,000 ringtones and fullsongs.

If they were that dead, boy bands wouldn't be selling them like crazy still. Nobody would be selling them. Yeah, digital sales are more alive than physical. But that doesn't mean major artists are struggling to sell a copy of their single. It's not like in the U.S. were physical singles are pretty much non-existent. I still have yet to see one in a store to be honest.
