Points to Watch

The point comparison was calculated using the values displayed on the chart released on September 2 and this week’s chart. The explanation regarding Sakanaction’s release follows the September 9 commentary.

Item checked Details confirmed in the source How to handle when citing
Date on the hub Artist 100 shows September 10, while Download Songs shows September 11 Distinguish these from the September 9 release date shown on the individual pages
Change in Haiiro’s download ranking The commentary says it rose to No. 4 Use the ranking table’s previous-week No. 1 and current-week No. 4
No previous-week ranking Either a new entry or re-entry is possible Also check the cumulative weeks on chart
Blank performance field in the commentary Figures are provided only for the top 50 in each metric Do not convert blank sales or play figures to 0

The date differences can be confirmed on the official chart hub. For the change in download ranking, the individual ranking table was given priority. This article did not arbitrarily correct the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the popularity ranking for September 9 alone?

No. It is a weekly chart tracking performance from August 31 to September 6. September 9 is the release date.

Are all new entries newly released songs?

A new entry means that the song appeared on the relevant chart for the first time. A song’s release date and first chart-entry date must be distinguished. The release date cannot be determined solely from its weeks on chart.

Does 10 weeks on chart mean 10 consecutive weeks?

Consecutive charting cannot be established from the cumulative weeks on chart alone. Weekly history is needed to determine whether the song dropped out of the rankings in between. Previous editions must be checked to confirm a consecutive record.

Why is the streaming No. 1 not the overall No. 1?

The Hot 100 reflects metrics other than streaming. This week’s streaming No. 1 is Brand New. The overall No. 1 is Yes! Tokyo.

Can a song fall in ranking even if its points rise?

Yes. Mishiranu Ito is an example this week. This is because ranking represents a song’s relative position compared with other songs.

Can the number of listeners be calculated from Hot 100 points?

No. Overall points are converted from multiple metrics. The number of streaming plays also differs from the number of unique listeners.
