Physical sales aren't a popularity indicator anymore and everyone should accept it. After watching the last Music Station special, in which they showed the top selling acts from Showa period, I realized that if they keep using physical sales as the indicator the ranking will stay the same for centuries. The whole list was composed of 90s singers and the only recent group was AKB48 whose incredible physical sales are based on handshake events. In the 90s people bought a lot of singles and albums because that was the only way but we're in the 2010's and everything has changed so Oricon should evolve once and for all.
