Well partially true. I actually think digital sales are closer to estimate how well received a song is. We can really compare the charting life of Days vs. Rule on digital world.. (and it's obvious that Days wins this hands down).
Also, the difference in cd sales might also refer to something else. Maybe the promotion for Days made those not-so-hardcore ayu fans buying the single. You know, some fans (e.g., me) just buy her albums. We can't say those who don't buy singles are not her fans rite? We can just say those (including myself) are not super hardcore. Sometimes special promotion will make those fans spending extra money on their idols. I as an example. I never buy ayu singles, but I bought both CD+DVD versions of MW because it was the 10th anniversary single, and it was released on April 8, which made me feel it's so special that I couldn't resist to buy it.
