Currently, there are four major charts for song popularity in Japan: Oricon singles charts, Soundscan singles charts, the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and RIAJ digital tracks. Oricon and Soundscan track sales of physical single releases, though Soundscan separates each version of the release (for example, CD+DVD and CD Only versions are tracked separately). The Japan Hot 100 tracks song popularity based on radio airplay and physical single sales data from Soundscan. The RIAJ digital tracks tracks the most popular songs downloaded in their entirety from cellphones (Chaku-uta full). No chart exists that tallys PC downloads as of 2010, though the RIAJ certifies PC download releases.
