[Charts & Rankings] Recochoku 2009 Yearly Ranking

[truehappiness]

What then do you use to explain the disparity between those that placed higher than her this year in Chaku Uta and Chaku Uta Full, but did not place as highly on the overall chart?

Songs that perhaps didn't make the top 100 on the charts like Sparkle/NEXT LEVEL/etc.? All Recochoku says is that they take the sales of her Chaku-Uta/Chaku-Uta Full from 12/1/2008 -> 11/30/2009... I know she has a lot of songs in her discography there, but I doubt that people were buying those, as the daily top 100 in that span of time had barely any signs of old Ayu tracks.

I'm just posting readily available facts. I didn't even say anything bad or draw any conclusions. People are free to look at the data and draw whatever conclusion they want or just choose to ignore it.

Just the fact that you're posting them seems to suggest that you don't feel that Ayu should be praised when she does well... why else would someone feel that they need to point out that Ayu's entire discography is so much larger and then not mention how the bulk of her total amount is actually made up of remixes and portions of her concerts?

Imagine if Ayu was the one with only 30 songs available for download and someone else had 1,000+ wouldn't we all be saying "look how awesome Ayu did beating someone with a gazillion more songs than her available for download!" Isn't that natural?

I wouldn't even think about the total amount of songs/video clips available since for the most part, Ayu's discography of 1300+ didn't come from 2008-2009. It's basically a level playing field [for the most part] since Ayu released about the same amount of new material as everyone else in the same period. Browsing through the 120+ pages of material she has on Recochoku, only 1-2 tracks per page aren't remixes/video clips after all...

^ Yes, and for the singles released 2008-2009 period she was out of the top 20. But when you count in those 1300+ she is in the top 5.... Is my logic really totally off here?

Isn't the same true for every other artist though?

Didn't I already praise her saying that Days did extremely well? 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?


I feel like I can't say anything even if I'm not saying something even bad or wrong.
