She should be #1 or #2 in competition with kana lol.

Maybe Mika Nakashima is worth adding as well? Also other females that could match with the girls above if there are any.

Thelma Aoyama has just 1 digital hit to sell milions right? She is not on par in total with the others.

Well, I'm no Hikki fan, so when I started I didn't check her.

I'll do much more in future, Hikki and Mika Nakashima are on my list, as well as Ai Otsuka, Greeeen, Exile, B'z and some others.
I just need time to do them, as it's pretty tiring going through all those certification lists.

Thelma Ayoma has one big hit - Soba ni Iru ne. It sold 3 million for ringtones and 2 million for full downloads.
I don't recall her having another, but I have to check.

Btw. the highest selling song digitally is still O-Zone with Koi no Maiahi (Dragostea Din Tei) with 4 million downloads for Chaku Uta.
Lol.

And thanks, guys.
I was always missing something like this, so I just wanted to share.

Oh but I thought that this thread is for female artists only XD.

Weren't hikki's Flavor of Life and Thelma's soba ni iru ne the best selling digitally songs in Japan?

Just Kana, Platinum for Moshimo Unmei no Hito ga iru kara.

Ryusei · #29 20th July 2015, 03:11 PM

Yay, with her current charting I'd say double platinum is possible if the song stays up there for some more time. Also Suki rose again, I wonder how long it's gonna stay and if it'll ever reach double

Delicious n Bold · #31 22nd July 2015, 08:36 PM

Sleigh a bit legend N! She must be getting a bit more royalties because she wrote the lyrics.

Ryusei · #32 22nd July 2015, 09:13 PM

^ She actually writes most of her lyrics, some songs have co-writers but she is always involved. ^^

**ayumisrael** · #33 23rd July 2015, 08:55 AM

He meant Namie, lol.

Certifications for September:
http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/chart/w151020.html

All for full songs:

Koda Kumi
Ai no Uta - Million

Kana Nishino
Torisetsu - Gold

Corvina · #38 20th October 2015, 10:53 PM

Hikki's "Can You Keep A Secret?" got Platinum as full song in September, so I just made the list for her.

Hikaru Utada

Spoiler:

For explanation:
PC downloads are still seperately listed for Hikki, although RIAJ doesn't count PC seperately anymore since January 2014.
Looks like Universal, her record company, didn't want to update her chart to merge the sales for PC and mobiel phones together. So PC is still extra for her.
Sakura Nagashi e.g. was ONLY released for PC, not for mobile phones (means not for download portals like recochoku).

Every song, which would be released for PC digital download only today, would be listed under "Single Track/Full song" as both PC and mobile downloads are counted together for full songs since 2014. But back in 2012, it still was counted seperately.
