The "Oricon Year" runs from the beginning of December of one year, to the end of November the following year. Also to note, Oricon combines the last week of December with the first week of January, therefore an "Oricon Year" has 51 weeks versus a real year, which has 52 weeks. Despite this these weeks are counted as 2 instead of 1 in the chart run of a single or an album. An interesting fact about Oricon charts is that Western artists' singles tend to do miserably on the charts. In fact, there have only been two #1 singles by western artists in the last 30 years, Celine Dion 's To Love You More in 1995 and Elton John 's Candle In The Wind in 1997. www.mnet.ne.jp/~hbr YEARLY CHARTS The year-end charts that shows the sales of albums and singles in Japan.
