Hello, I'm Ss112. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Ss  112   04:10, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

First of all, I don't know if you know this, but streaming is in no way anywhere near as large in Japan as it is in Western countries, so "The combo chart is what actually represents a success since it includes everything (streaming also)" sounds like you don't know what you're talking about and are assuming digital sales and streaming figures are as large in Japan as they are everywhere else. Absolutely not. Digital sales are still dwarfed by physical sales in Japan, and Spotify has very little market share in Japan. It's catching on, yes, and more artists are having their music put online, but it's nowhere near the level of ubiquity there that it is in English-speaking countries.

Second of all, Oricon still views the physical ("albums") chart as the noteworthy and main chart, considering it is what is archived on artists' chart history pages on Oricon. You added an unsourced figure by changing the peak to 5, because the Oricon Template:Album chart entry does not link to the combo chart, but the albums chart that is still considered the main albums chart of Japan by the publisher itself.

Next time you want to try and "correct" somebody, make sure you know what you're talking about first. Also, make sure your edits are properly sourced. Even if they are, on this article, they will be reverted, so you're wasting your time to try. Thank you.  Ss  112   04:10, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Lmao, who the f*** do you think you are talking to me like I'm some kind of idiot or something? I NEVER said streaming was big as in other countries but fact is it's included in the combo charts (which is why there is a difference with pure sales numbers), period. The combo charts is what reflects more of a success for an artist as it includes EVERYTHING, including the physical charts so I'm not sure why only this chart in particular should matter when it doesn't give a full vision of a success. Even if you want to disregard the streaming numbers, digital sales are still actual sales (no matter if they are not as big as physical sales in Japan) so by doing that, you're basically excluding them. Fun fact: Billie sold as many digital copies as physical copies last week in Japan. She peaked at #5 in Japan including every single metric and #11 in physical sales. It's like only including streaming numbers in Western success: it's stupid as fuck. If you want to keep that #11 peak position on her page, just specify that it doesn't include digital sales and streaming because it's misleading when you put that up with her other chart positions.
