For a long time now, Taiwan has lacked a trustworthy mechanism for auditing music sales. Figures for radio plays, television video plays and sales released by record companies are all typically used for promotion and are unreliable gauges of popularity.
長久以來，台灣一直缺乏具有公信力的唱片稽核機制，無論是電台播放、MV 排行，乃至唱片公司慶功宴所公布的銷售數字，時常都是宣傳上用來刺激買氣的花招，因而飽受質疑。
