No idea how anyone could measure sales in this business.
It's my opinion that AVN charts are based on dollars spent on ads in AVN plus some wishful thinking.

Who's rentals? AVN has never contacted any of the video stores that I go to to ask about rentals.

Baro's got it, AVN pulls those numbers out of thier asses from people calling in thier fictional release figures. There are also other things to consider like what was your price out the door. It;s easy to whore your product for 5 dollars a pop as opposed to someone who's pulling 13 dollars per piece.
