Why Ayu singles are not charting well in World Chart
 

I was doing some listing in wiki and I found out this...

Look BLUE BIRD was released in 2006.06.21, the first week it sold 160,572 copies, if you look at the chart of that week you will see it doesn't appears, if you go to next week chart it neither appears.

It's strange because they listed some of her singles in the past, look I listed them in wiki

The thing is that BLUE BIRD deserved the 5th position and a lot of singles deserved a position too and the only reason that they didn't charted is because they weren't listed? :( So maybe glitter / fated won't chart too

If is something that I am doing wrong please tell me D:

The Global Track Chart only tracks radio play, I believe. I'm not too sure on how they accumulate and track points there, but I know radio play is a part of it. Not sales. :p Either radio stations in Japan don't report how many times they play a certain song or something else, but the points shown there are not copies of the single sold.

FoL only got like #21 (rough estimation) on those charts, I think, so I doubt that Ayu will get any higher

So if they were sales Ayu would be in top 10 :D Thanks! I'm so non-agry now!

Utada Hikaru's song earlier this year, "Flavor of Life". :D It was (is?) massively successful in download sales and physical sales.

Yes, I deleted it once I noticed xD I am so slow today!

If you look at the total sales, that's a pretty good indication that the singles that did chart probably sold an insane amount in their first weeks (insane in today's terms would be 250k+), those releases probably got 400-450k in their first weeks... that's enough to get onto the world charts. I don't think Ayu's 100k sales are enough. As far as I can see, ~150k is the minumum needed to chart at around #40...

it's a pity to hear ayu doesnt sell enough to get into united world chart.at least hre albums do, and they enter at number 1!!

maybe there is many single release and has a higher sales somewhere in this world

i don't know bout this on..

The track chart uses a combination of radio play and sales (with the emphasis going towards radio play I think) whereas the albums chart only uses sales.
