May i know, how oricon cart work?
They have many category~
This one, is for album sales or singles sale?

[ayaownsyou]

Sure. ^_^ The Oricon Charts have rankings for albums, indies music, foreign music, movie DVDs, anime DVDs, music DVDs, and a bunch of other stuff. The rankings are decided based on the number of sales, either in just one day, one week, one month, or one year.

The charts I have posted here are the top 30 singles that sold the most copies in the month of March. =] This post actually isn't supposed to be here. xD; The main post is now at oriconcharts. Please go there. =]

oooo~
Thank you soooo much!
Now I understand~
What about the downloading through cellphone & internet?

[ayaownsyou]

Do you mean is it calculated into sales?

[gagulan]

yes~

[ayaownsyou]

According to Wikipedia, they don't, which is somewhat a source of controversy since data is only received from 3,020 retail stores in the country. So it's important to note that these charts are not complete accurate. =]

ooo~
So the download for the highest dun include in Oricon chart anymore?

[ayaownsyou]

I don't believe downloads were ever included in the Oricon Charts. D:

[gagulan]

What about for Example like Real Face that have been download more than 1 million?

[ayaownsyou]

Not included on the Oricon charts. But it doesn't matter, because REAL FACE was #1 anyway, since it sold over 750,000 copies in it's first week.
