can't tell if the companies are doing the sales reporting themselves; but otherwise, why list them like that?

From global pieces that I edited when I worked at Billboard, I got the idea that that's how music sales are tallied in many, many countries around the world -- So, where physical product is concerned, what you're really seeing are shipments, not actual sales, and you're trusting that the shipment numbers record companies give you are reliable, when obviously the labels would have good reasons to artificially boost them. I don't know off hand whether Korea, specifically, adds up numbers that way, but I wouldn't be surprised. And if they do, they are hardly alone -- SoundScan's use in the U.S. is actually the exception to the rule.
