(in millions)
Figures are combined values based on data provided by GfK Japan, which tracks the number of streamings at streaming services (Amazon Music (both Unlimited and Prime membership music streaming), Apple Music, AWA, HMVmusic, KKBOX, LINE Music, Rakuten Music, Tower Records Music, Spotify), the number of streams at playlist-type streaming services (d-Hits, Uta Pass), as well as the number of views via YouTube Music, which is provided by Nielsen.
Some of the services differentiated between free streaming and paid streaming when totaling the figures. As different coefficients have been applied, there are cases where the total number of streamings differs from the ranking.
