Japan oricon排行榜

The Oricon charts are a widely recognized music chart in Japan that ranks the best-selling music and video releases in the country. Similar to the Billboard charts in the United States, Oricon provides weekly and daily rankings for singles and albums, as well as monthly and yearly charts. Oricon also charts DVDs, Blu-rays, and books.

Oricon was established in 1999 as Oricon Entertainment Inc., but its history can be traced back to the foundation of Oricon Inc. in 1967. The company was originally a subsidiary of the Yomiuri Group, but it became independent in 1989. Oricon charts are based on sales data collected from retailers across Japan, and they are considered one of the most reliable sources for tracking the popularity of music and video releases in Japan.

Artists who have topped the Oricon charts are considered to be among the most successful in Japan, and achieving high rankings on Oricon is a significant milestone for many musicians and performers. The charts are not only a reflection of commercial success but also a barometer of cultural trends and the changing tastes of the Japanese public.
