This is because some shops' sales don't count towards ORICON even though they still sell albums, singles, etc?


Yep, ORICON is mediocre and useless



EDIT: And not to even mention all the sales that are missing from the concert venues, since ORICON only counts a percentage of them? I still think this is not fair for anybody, if they think the companies are trying to boost their artists' sales (which is fair enough I think), couldn't they have people there making sure they aren't cheating and getting dodgy numbers? The percentage thing is just ****ing stupid, I hate it.

A BALLADS isn't a best of album, it was a compilation/concept album (like Shimatani's "crossover") with some tracks remixed/re-arranged, so I don't think it falls into the same category as A BEST.

For example, if I remember correctly, YesAsia doesnt count toward Oricon.

crazy how sales were back then.


anyway, ORICON is always stupid. Even their polls suck. I think they've just been outdated for a while...

just like the global music industry though tbh. Guess we can't really blame them.

Damn it, Utada...
Give the other artists a chance. She shows no mercy!

DEEP RIVER was a great album and deserved more sales than Distance, in my opinion. I'm just going to assume Ayu outsold the third highest selling album of that year by a large amount of copies. Do correct me if I'm wrong to think that.

"I am …” album sold 3.14 million Cds"
"FIVE" 250,000 copies

Awww

But now i think the only important thing for her is that us, the fan base we're always here to support her ~
Maybe now she don't care about the number of cds she sold...

For the difference in older releases, you guys should keep in mind that Oricon chart had only up to 100 position untill 2003, when it was extended to 200 and 300. And what if Ayu's releases sold only 1500 copies a week, which surely won't get a position in top 100, but sold steadily for one year... it would make at least 75,000 copies difference.

I heard Oricon only counts the CD sales in big retail stores, e.g. HMV, Tower Record, but ignores the small retail stores in Japan.
