I'm also not the only one that pointed out the difference in the discographies. And whether it is remixes or concerts or whatever is completely irrelevant, its still there for people to buy isn't it?
She does have more to buy, but most people who do buy Chaku-Uta are not likely to think of purchasing even 10% of what she has to offer... you take away the remixes and the clips, and have you a number that's more reasonable and closer to the other artists' numbers and probably a truer amount of the ringtones that people actually purchased. [Speaking of which, the video clips have nothing to do with her Chaku-Uta/Full rankings so they shouldn't be counted anyway, haha.]

As for other artists, the separation of their collaborations probably hurt them in the end, since Miliyah Kato and JUJU had big songs that were counted as being from another group. Without a doubt, both of them would've probably ranked higher than Ayu in both rankings had their collaborations been counted, which would account for the two artists ranking lower than Ayu despite having higher rankings on the individual charts.
