Oricon also displays in the combined chart, how the releases got their points - physical, digital or streaming. E.g. LiSA's new single isn't available for streaming (yet). Aimyon is really big in streaming, but not with actual sales.

For comparison here's the streamig chart from Billboard Japan for (almost) the same week:



Numbers are higher, but Billboard is counting more services.
Oricon counts Apple Music、AWA、KKBOX 、LINE MUSIC、recochoku.
Billboard counts the following:


So it's still not an all-embracing chart, but the first combined one and a step in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing this, this is some really interesting stuff! But I'm left wondering why the Oricon and Billboard streaming charts look so different. Why does Oricon count fewer services is they make that much of a difference (almost 800k difference between the Oricon and Billboard number for the same #1 song)? But seems like a step in the right direction anyway.

Speaking of streaming, do many people here stream their music? I've been using Spotify more this year and I've been fascinated with their year-end summary of my listening habits. These are apparently my top 10 Asian songs. Seems pretty accurate though not entirely exhaustive. And really serves as a reminder of all the songs I was hyperfixated on over the year.

1. Suiyoubi no Campanella - Itoshii Monotachi e / The Sand Castle
2. iri - Corner
3. BoA - RECOLLECTION
4. negoto - Suichuu Toshi
5. Sheena Ringo - more
6. INSHOW-HA - Woman
7. ACIDMAN - Sekitou
8. miwa - Hikari e
9. Faint★Star - Hoozuki
10. Suiyoubi no Campanella - Kiiro no Uta / A Cat Called Yellow
