I believe how it works is if at least 4 days of a week are in a month, it is counted as one week for that month. For example March 28-April 3 will be apart of March, not April, because 4 March days are in that week

Yes thats how dmillos does it for his charts, but not on the VGC graphs.

Exceptions:
the week ending May 2nd 2020 was included in May
week ending Oct 3rd 2020 was included in October
w/e Nov 2nd 2019 was included in November
w/e Aug 3rd 2019 included in August

and plenty more.

The most odd offender being w/e Jan3rd 2015 is not counted in either Dec 2014 nor Jan 2015, but instead is put into Dec 2015. (so Dec 2015 is possibly the only 6-week month)

I think we can solve this puzzle, I am drawing a blank here, but I am sure that with what I am about to show you, you will be able to come up with a good idea of what could be going on.

Here is a comparison between the numbers VGChartz has for the months vs my numbers (all for Switch). 
You will notice that in yellow are highlighted months when we both have 5 weeks for that particular month. 

It seems interesting that all of those start on a Wednesday and end on a Friday....

 

Hopefully you can see something interesting here....

There are months that seem like were manually edited, and that seems to happen a lot after december.
