Methodology
[
edit
]
From the chart's inception in 2008, to December 2010, the chart combined
CD single
sales data from
SoundScan Japan
, tracking sales at physical stores across Japan, and radio airplay figures from Japan's then 32 AM and FM radio stations sourced from the Japanese company Plantech.
[5]
In December 2010, the chart expanded to include sales from online stores, as well as sales from
iTunes
Japan.
[5]
From December 2013,
Billboard
incorporated more digital music stores (such as
Recochoku
and
mora
) into the chart.
[6]
Billboard
also added two additional factors: tweets relating to songs from
Twitter
data collected by
NTT DATA
, as well as data sourced from
Gracenote
on the number of times a CDs has been registered as being inserted into a computer.
[6]
In May 2015, the chart began to include both on-demand streams and YouTube views.
[7]
Finally, in November 2018, the chart began to include karaoke plays in its formula.
[8]
In December 2022, the Twitter and Gracenote metrics were removed from the chart.
[9]
From December 7, 2016, onwards,
Billboard Japan
teamed up with
GfK
Japan to distribute digital sales of each track on the Hot 100 chart (between the positions of number one to number 50) to the public. The companies will distribute the sales from over 3,900 digital stores nationwide, alongside streaming services with Apple Music, Awa and Line Music, which will commence in 2017 and will be recognized as points (similar to
album-equivalent sales
).
