oricon ftl
HONESTLY I feel like oricon is becoming so useless. Look at the new number one, their first week is going to be like 25-30K. It's becoming so stupid and inaccurate.
I made a thread a while ago about comparing billboard and oricon, but now I can finally find the right words for it.
ORICON FTL.
I mean, I understand how physical sales used to dominate the market and really showcase who is on top, but look at billboard.
Billboard and evolved and grown with the economy so even now the number one can really be reflected in the nation. I can be sure that that song is probably the number one song right now. That's why billboard is going to stay and the strongest chart we can look at.
But oricon? I mean look how low it is. If ayu's single is really so popular according to digital sales, is it fair to rank it based on the physical ones alone? I mean Flavor of Life was number #2 yearly. But based on the digital sales it was probably a lot more popular than that song I had never heard of.
Billboard japan isn't even that accurate and even if they do put in digital sales (I'm not sure) I don't want them to take over because they don't have the history oricon does and they definitely aren't very accurate (in my opinion).
If oricon won't change their chart to reflect the economy and how songs are bought or listened to (that includes airplay too, but airplay in japan is useless '-___-!) then it's becoming really ridiculous and it's not fair because so many records have been established, so what now? They are all becoming sooo innaccurate that I fear even if ayu or whoever breaks or makes another record, it won't be a real accomplishment =/. Now that digital sales are showing a song's true colours, it's so foolish that oricon has remained this way for so long.
SO COME ON GUYS. COMPLAIN WITH ME LOL.
