Isn't that after like 2 months of Feel The Love sales though?

[TheRainbow]

First week of FTL was 30k, no?

[RealLight]

Ftl/Mgr's first week - 30,385

Yeah the Japanese cd buying public is fading, and downloads are becoming much more popular.

I wonder how low sales will have to get before Oricon starts counting digital ones.

[Cahz-]

Meanwhile digitally Ayu is enjoying success with this single. #2 on Recochoku Daily Albums

For the single to have charted within the top 10, for it's first week, is a huge accomplishment in itself & totally something for ayu to be very proud of! Even more so, since it charted within the top 5. This single deserved good sales & a great charting position, so I'm very happy. Go ayu!

Digital sales:

1st week: #1
2nd week: #2

and on the daily rankings for the 3rd week she's still on #2!
And A BEST keeps on #5 week after week LOL

[maxikot]

Can now anybody say that she is not on top? This is digital distribution era, few years ago i stopped buying games in physical copies and started getting only digital versions. She does fantastically digitially.

Can the digital sales be counted as well in the origin charts? It's ridiculous that they are not, we don't have a clear impression of what's popular

[pimenta]

It's kinda funny when you compare oricon and recochoku positions, because on recochoku many times those same artists that do amazing on oricon are behind artists with much lower sales there.

For example, Ayu's single actually outsold TVXQ's new full album on recochoku, and it was the 1st week for both.

I really wish there was a ranking that considered both digital and physical sales, only then we would get a true view of the sales situation.

[pimenta]

^ Maybe oricon doesn't count those because Avex doesn't do it either? a song is born and Dream ON were never included in her singles count by Avex, so maybe that's why oricon wouldn't count those as her singles either. idk, just speculating...

Oricon should track iTunes sales as well. Japan really loves iPhone.

Why? digital market has been decreasing that it's not important anymore

[Corvina]

Oricon should count digital sales for sure. But they actually missed the prime time for digital sales as those are going down already as well. Compared to 2006 there aren't that much certificafions for digital sales. At least that's what is officially released.
Sales are lower in general.
But if it goes on like that Oricon has to merge physical and digital together.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm so sick of waiting for Oricon to count digital sales. I feel like we definitely do not get an accurate representation of her sales. I feel like only hardcore fans by the physical releases...and 60% or more just buy the music digitally.

I saw some people talking shit about the sales figures and I was like...well, where is your fave on the charts? She got number 2 with this single, and I don't even know how much number 3 sold...

[LONJJONG]

Huge drop for the single today. #34.

[ayumisrael]

2nd Week
1st Day: Position: #10
2nd Day: Position: #5
3rd Day: Position: #4
4th Day: Position: #20
5th Day: Position: #29
6th Day: Position: #31
7th Day: Position: #34

[brener]
