Does anyone know of any sites at all that have proper archives of Ayumi's sales from Oricon? I'm working on improving the Winter diary article but the only information about its sales I have found is on a Generasia page that was updated back in 2015 literally as sale figures were updated daily by Oricon when the album first came out. I obviously can't use that source since they don't link to where the figures came from and I haven't found any archived copies of the daily sales page on the usual archive sites. Any help pointing me in a reliable direction would be much appreciated, unless no such site exists, in which case I guess I'll have to forgo a "Performance" section in the end. -- Carlobunnie ( talk) 16:39, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

TenPoundHammer you rmvd the cn tag I added to the "Hamasaki has sold over 60.94 million units as of 2019" part of the first sentence of the lead's 2nd pgraph, but an unreliable chartmasters.org reference was cited in support, which was why I replaced it with the tag. Additionally, the most recent of the 4 sources at the end of the full sentence is (a dead ref) dated 2016, and the others support 50 mill sales as of 2012. What other recourse was there? Should I have just left it alone? -- Carlobunnie ( talk) 06:33, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply
