It's meaningless because it's been out of stock all day. There's no way it should even be in the top 20 right now and clearly Amazon are manipulating the charts at the moment.

On one hand I think it may be a little weird to think Amazon is manipulating anything.

No need for a conspiracy theory here. Obviously Amazon is using a smoothing formula for its charts. NiS obviously outordered the next best thing by magnitudes initially, hence the thing can stay on top of the list for many hours, even several days depending on the formula.
