Tal, the really stupid me asked this question... meant for this album, but I posted in the A COMPLETE chart!!! >.<

I was wondering if TRICK is still charting.

[gothicayu]

i loved rainbow also. i couldnt stand next level though ( i only like rule and sparkle ) i m surprised this album is still selling i wonder if her older album charts once in a while when she re sing her old songs

[rakeru]

my, my, this is certainly a sign of the times. an album in 2009 can only sell 375k (so far) but chart longer than an album that sold 1.8 million from 2002.

They really need to count in the downloads in the same chart imo...

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ *nodnod* What a shame.

[Crystal_Ageha]

Yeah, I think that's pretty much everybody's opinion, to include the digitals with the physicals. I really don't see any major negatives to the idea, so I wonder why the charts haven't started doing it already? >_<

I for one don't agree that they should put legal downloads along with sales.
Yeah the numbers will be way more inflated but still,
the money artists/labels get from legal downloads are nothing compared to what they get from physical sales, so if we won't know just the physical sales it won't be as interesting imo.
+The artists will be on the exact same state as they are, just with inflated numbers that add no meaning.
I think it's cool oricon counts the physical sales and RIAJ the recochoku (chaku uta) and iTunes (PC downloads).
We can know physical sales and legal downloads (welll 100,000-250,000, 750,000-1,000,000 and such). We don't need them combined together imo.

[waterballoon]

^ Agreed. Besides, if they really were to include legal downloads... Ayu wouldn't even be doing "well" anymore. Right now with physical sales, we can still rejoice, but with legal downloads... I highly doubt so.

[Crystal_Ageha]

^^ Hm, that's a good point.
Ayu never does terrible in digitals though, does she? Like, I know she usually doesn't do spectacular, but she still gets at least decent sales, right?

[waterballoon]

I don't think her digital sales are bad, but many other singers do even better than her in digital sales, so...

[ayumisrael]

What is good is that ayu does better than a lot of other singers physically as well.

[zyoeru]

Yeah, ORICON shouldn't combine digital and physical sales, but I wish they'd count more digital shops.

[Meat Pao]

If ORICON combines physical and digital sales together, Ayu would probably lose her streak or something LOL. There are artistes who do a lot better than Ayu digitally despite bad physical sales... I think ORICON should at least have a separate digital chart if they ever have one.

[njanjayrp]

^ regardless of that possibility I'd still like them to make a combo chart and two separate ones. That way it would be easier to determine what is really popular among people in Japan.

[zyoeru]

^ It'd be better if we had a digital and physical chart separate. We could still see who is popular easily by adding up sales.

i agree with this and to everyone else who thinks so. physical sales are really something special... for one they cost a lot more than download. it has more... meaning imo.

[waterballoon]

lol Oricon will have so much to do if they had all of these, lol.

[jbrat2219]

I don't think physical and digital sales should be combined because we may not get accurate figures. It would be ratios like in Taiwan or something. I think it would be a good idea for Oricon to make a separate chart for digital sales though!

[ayumisrael]

Still charting. =D
