This information comes via Chris 1964 of NeoGAF, who posted a MASSIVE spreadsheet detailing an incredible amount of detail of old Japanese sales data via Famitsu and some Media Create. The data is copied from a spreadsheet and is ordered by the following:
Tracker (who recorded the sales)
Year
Week # (out of 52 in a year)
From/To (the dates to/from)
Rant on the list (how high up or down the list it was compared to other sales its first week)
First Week sales
LTD (Lifetime To Date sales i.e. the grand total)
Sales ratio (how much of the initial shipment sold in its first week, percentage)
Release day
Days (How many days used to record sales)

(sadly, it doesn't seem that we don't have sales data for The Silver Star, nor do we have 1st week data, thus the 0.00%. )
