i wonder how come GREEN didn't do so well as Days, it's a great song

Days was the hit song in Japan while they didn't care much for GREEN

becuzz.....as far as i know.....kuu n utada get million download when i see it on wikipedia.....

Those millions are thanks to RINGTONES and not FULL TRACKS only, Flavor of Life sold around 1million of full tracks the rest were just ringtones, same goes for most of Ku's songs that supposedly sold millions. Wiki isn't to be trusted.

[BoBo]

I don't know about Kuu, but in the last couple of months for full song downloads: Exile - Ti Amo got 1 million (and I think its one of their weaker songs), Greeen - Kiseki got 2 million , and Kobukuro's 永遠にともに got 1 million. Unfortunately these are all artists that I don't really care for too much though.

For Ayu: In December, Days was #2 for the month behind Juju's 素直になれたら and GREEN was #39 for the month.

In January, Sparkle （CM Mix） was #8 for the month, Days was #13, and Rule was #22.

In February, Rule #10 for the month, NEXT LEVEL #16, SPARKLE #28.

All of her rankings except Days were significantly lower than her cd rankings, but still the figures could be a lot worse. Overall I would say not bad, but not great either.

Ayu is the best!!!¨^O^

Think about it this way: Chaku-Uta is like a mp3 format for cellphones.

I searched Ayu's site: http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/090220a.html
There's a bunch of different companies that sells Chaku-Utas i.e. mu-mo, Recochoku, dwango, music.jp etc.

And I was sure that chaku-uta was a company name the whole time and not a format
I wonder how didn't I ask about it until now!

[LacusClyne]

yes, congratulations to ayu.

Days is one of my fav songs too

[MissElin_]

[stef_gal]

[ayuky]

[elvesword]

[extepan]

[music_*]

Thanks for the info! ^^
Do they have album download numbers as well?

[Chef+Vanny]

yay good news but I prefer Rule to Days

[polka-dot-jewel]

Wait, is this only based on chaku-uta sales? Because I know there has to be more legal sales than that...

[f1rz3n_0028]

YAY!! I love both songs but I think Rule should be a platinum too!

[duque]

awesome!!! both songs are really good XD

For full songs it's usually hard to get platinum+ since most people are interested in ringtones and not the full songs (are cost more). Some popular songs don't even get gold in full songs.
But ayu's Days managed to get platinum there and Rule 100,000, that's really good!


But above the certifications on RIAJ's pages they write

chaku-uta (着うた（R）) and chaku-uta full (着うたフル（R）), if they would count the others too why would they write specifically chaku-uta and chaku-uta full?

Thanks for writing this. I had no idea how that worked. That probably applies to Utada's flavor of life also.
