DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Soundscan counts cds sold conventionally, as opposed to Oricon which also counts company stores. But Soundscan also counts some stores which Oricon doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Biscuit 503 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Like 80%. Because those buyers are fans, and because only their fans care about them. Therefor we should completely disregard all sales from company stores. Because being a fan who buy stuff from their store means you're not part of the general public. RIP soundscan, you will be terribly miss, you non-biase, accurate chart. Right Documentaly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Oricon if you want to see what fanbases are buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
