Thelma's Soba ni Iru ne sold what, 600,000-700,000 copies, which is a ridiculous amount by today's standards. With Digital sales, it sold over 8,000,000 ringtones and fullsongs.

Well and where did we know the sales and digital downloads from?
Not from billboard of course. =P
Well those physical sales specially for singles are actually great.
And still even if the number is huge for digital downloads I still don't think that they worth, at least not more than Physical sales from two reasons.
1. The artist/company don't earn half of what they earn for selling a physical copy.
2. Digital sales show how popular a song is and not how popular an artist is.
There are many artists who sold well digitally and not physically and after 1-2 songs they stopped doing well digitally as well. So just because sometimes there are huge digital numbers it's not necessarily a wow for the artist (sometimes it is of course), but it's more of a wow to the specific song.
