Popular digital download platform Recochoku recently published its rankings for the first half of the year to their website; these charts cover the period starting from January 1st through June 30th of 2015 and represent data collected from across Recochoku’s many services.
Atop the Overall Artists chart is Sandaime J Soul Brothers (from EXILE TRIBE), their strong showing owing largely to the steady performance of hits “R.Y.U.S.E.I.” and “Eeny. meeny. miny. moe!”. On the other hand, the Digital Singles chart is crowned by SEKAI NO OWARI’s incredibly popular “Dragon Night”, the song a constant presence on many of Japan’s digital charts earlier in the year. Finally, the Top New Artist thus far this year is comedic duo Kumamushi, who were propelled to further fame by the release of the witty and endearing “Attakaindakara♪”.
Read on below for the Top 25 of the Artist and Digital Singles charts and the complete New Artists chart.
