[1st half of '06] Ayu + TOP 3 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD CHART Rankings

ayu_fan929 · #1 19th July 2006, 02:00 AM

Over 90% of all legal downloads in Japan come from Cell-Phones/Mobiles, and Chaku-Uta is one of the largest (if not the largest) music download service for Cell-Phones. The Chaku-Uta service can be used on 3 of the largest cellphone operators in Japan - NTT DocoMo; au (kddi) and Vodafone.

The charts are divided into 3 categories - "Ringtones", "Full Songs" and "PV's". The "Overall" chart is a combination of the 3 charts.

So where does Ayu (songs) stand in these charts for the 1st half of 2006? (2006/01/01->2006/06/30) For the full TOP 100, click on the links. Here they are:

In my opinion, after the not-so-successful Startin', she's doing pretty good with BLUE BIRD. Remember that the data calculated is up to June 30th, and BLUE BIRD was released on June 21st (as an actual single; ringtones released a few days before the 21st; Full song and PVs few days after the 21st). And HEAVEN is doing good as well since it was released last year, it still went pretty high (especially in the PV side)

I'm surprised at HEAVEN on there. Congrats I guess.

Axel_Grease · #3 19th July 2006, 02:16 AM

Wow, BB's doing pretty good. But, how did HEAVEN get so high on the PV chart? xD

Princess_Of_Roses · #4 19th July 2006, 02:20 AM

Maybe people thought the PV was really touching? I dunno.

Thank you for giving us some new charts to drool over each month, I suspect those are updated monthly?

ayu_fan929 · #8 19th July 2006, 02:28 AM

^There's a daily chart, but they only do these types twice a year, a half year one and a full year one.

AyuGAME · #9 19th July 2006, 03:18 AM

koda was everywhere...make me sick of it (sorry)
thanks for the info

Mad_Cactuar · #10 19th July 2006, 03:37 AM

The lack of Utada anywhere there surprises me.

elepop · #11 19th July 2006, 03:38 AM

HAHA, Koda Kumi and Yuna Ito everywhere!

Not suprising, "Koi no Tsubomi" makes the perfect ringtone!

^my thoughts exactly.

This is pretty good, compared to her previous single, starin'. So congrats' to ayu, I think. and to HEAVEN (which came out of nowhere ^.^)

truehappiness · #13 19th July 2006, 05:08 AM

I think the ranking of BLUE BIRD will go up / has gone up.

Especially since it was low on MS's Chaku Uta thing one week and then it rose to #1 the week after :3

God, all that Koda makes me sick x.x

DA1SUK1DAY01691 · #14 19th July 2006, 05:33 AM

i think a factor to koda's domination is her 12 single project. Imagine if she had 4 HOT WAVE out already. She would have much more than she has now.

Echiko · #15 19th July 2006, 05:42 AM

o.o wow. HEAVEN is there.

AWESOME!! XD

cybermoomba · #16 19th July 2006, 05:57 AM

LOL KUU and Yuna are everywhere

This thread should be in the asian music chat section 'cause

ayu is barley on there

alt.total-loser · #17 19th July 2006, 07:10 AM

Go HEAVEN! I'm surprised it's there, though.

Wow. Koda Kumi... good, though.

#18 19th July 2006, 08:16 AM

I'm surpised HEAVEN is still on there! O.O It should've wom the Japan Record Award!
