　The indicators of the hit chart "Billboard JAPAN HOT 100" provided by Billboard Japan every week have been greatly revised, and the artists who sell intensively in the first week are disadvantageous, and the artists who sell for long -term distribution are advantageous.It has become a reputation for being changed.

　"Billboard Japan Hot 100" includes packages such as CDs, download service sales, number of views of streaming services and video distribution services, number of views (access to Gracenote), number of radio broadcasts, songs and artist names.It is calculated with its own coefficients to indicators such as the number of tweets and karaoke singing, but after the release of June 2, if the coefficient is adjusted, the explosive sales are recorded only for specific weeks.It has been pointed out that the evaluation has been changed to a lower specification.As a result, the value of continuously selling in the long term is higher than the artists who sell CDs intensively only in the first week, and as a result, the distribution indicators that include the sub -schools are more important than ever.It means that you have come.Users' reactions are generally favorable due to the revision in line with the actual situation, and many people say that it is difficult to pass the privilege commercial law such as handshake tickets.Artists who are still particular about CD sales and have not lifted digital will be forced to reconsider the policy.
