iTunes finally updated – the consensus seems to be that the charts were delayed due to AppleTV’s release and subsequent traffic storm to the iTunes store.

    Another random fact while browsing results – iTunes Japan has a variable rate for pop singles. Tetai Kansoku by Bump of Chicken is 200Y, Aqua Timez 150Y. Of course, who wouldn’t pay more for Bump Chicken?

    The AppleTV release is a possibility, but I would imagine that the iTunes music store would have taken a much more substantial hit after Christmas, and I don’t know if the charts died at that point.

    I’m willing to give Apple the benefit of doubt. I know several people emailed the music store folks at Apple 3 or 4 hours before the charts started rolling again. Could it just be coincidence, and we simply alerted them to the fact the charts were down? Maybe…

    I wonder if there is SOME way to get the charts for Thursday evening and Friday morning/midday. They’re not calculated on a daily average, but I know from watching Podsafe Christmas, that a day DOES make a substantial difference.
