Are u from Japan? I thought Applause physical was being selling yet

Not from Japan, but it just seems logic to me that the physical copies aren't on sale yet?

It's kinda like the Mediatraffic of Japan. Oricon will have the real tea.

They're talking trash about it because airplay is considered in the chart formula and ringtones not (which is the second best selling format in Japan).
But the chart is pretty reliable, itunes downloads+physical copies+radio airplay.

Oh, thank you all.

There are 4 western #1's on Japan Hot 100 and still 'What The Hell' is the best selling single on Japan Hot 100 (700k copies) by western artist despite being #2. Also Avril have Diamond single with Girlfriend and 3 #1's before the Hot 100 and also much better album sales and don't say that she started career earlier cause it doesn't matter in Japan, they are actually steady in sales, even increasing a little. And Mariah is western Queen of Japan with 15M albums sold there, Avril is Princess and Gaga is just good there. And Yeah HTNGU debuted at #8 there, better than Applause
Happy for Katy, not bad for her.

Born This Way sold 750k copies by the end of 2012 in Japan

Not really, since all the informations are official, and she won't do that much with physical sales either. So we all better stick to Japan Hot 100.

Well I mean from the point that it's not an official chart. It's kinda like if I decided to make a chart tomorrow and say it was the new Billboard Hot 100. The airplay inclusion makes everything interesting.

Sley, Gags.

So the Japan 100 is a fake, fraudulent, spreadsheet mess?
Well then.
It always looked fishy to me anyway.

[Stunnah]

No one curr about the Japan Hot 100. Let's wait for the RIAJ certs and Oricon figures (if both singles are getting a physical release).

[SillyBandz]

I'm gonna wait for the Oricon.

RIAJ and Oricon will give a better picture.

For example, there was a Japanese artist who had a #7 hit on the Japan Hot 100 last year. On the Oricon charts their single came in at #55 for the week and wasn't a big digital seller. So that ranking came from radio which isn't really a major factor. The chart is just Billboard's formula transfered over to the Japanese market.

It's not really used by the Japanese because they have Oricon but how is it not official? All the data provided is official from airplay to sales. No one who stans for western artists is here for Oricion and it's top 85 peaks for our faves except a few one.
