As for the Super Lesson, in this post by KIRBYSIM, http://forum.project-imas.com/index.php/topic,1136.msg23265.html#msg23265, it seems you get a bigger benefit if you do a super lesson. Not sure if it is because the lesson lasts longer, so there is more time to get a perfect.
Also, You said that the Tokyo Pop Top 100 will tell you how many single sales you need to make a rank, but do you know where I can find this chart in the game?

The chart will appear once you post your first song to the charts. That's week 7 or 8 off the top of my head.
From there you'll get a week by week breakdown (barring any week where the idols take a week off (either by you instructing them, or by them deciding to on their own) of what the charts look like.
The main reason I don't advise on relying on super lessons is that getting time to communicate WHILE boosting up their stats is always a good idea. This in particular is particularly potent when you used paid promotions. (For an idea, a paid promotion usually lands you between 2x and 3x the number of fans compared to a regular one, and after you exhaust the scenarios, they're instant perfects but put on repeat.)
On hyper this is really useful (arguably crucial) as you'll get 20000 fans or so per communication, compared to about 8000, and it'll do a mood adjustment for that region to max.
As well, it's entirely possible to max out the memory appeals (at 5) and max out their idol level at 16 at about the same time with a single + promotion chain, meaning if you're good enough, there's actually little point, even if there was a benefit, which I haven't seen since it's uncommon for me to run a game where I don't perfect chain everything.
Daverost:
I can't remember if I asked this before, but I still don't know, so I guess I didn't.
When do sales effects show up on the charts? I know Super Break has to be done before the song releases, so it shows up on release week. What about Keeps, Breaks, and Revivals? Do they show up on the week of the event (Live/Fes/whatever) that triggers them? Or do they show up the week after?
I've decided it's not worth killing myself for a perfect score on Megare just to get the points I need for Top 20 on my second song. I'll just take a slightly lower score which is more than doable and aim for a Keep. I won't miss a single week of Paid Promotion/Lesson.
EDIT: This page seems to indicate that it's the same week as the activity. Anyone want to confirm/deny?
Daverost:
Well hell, nevermind. I complain enough and I guess I'll get it. I still botched it by missing a step (someone was talking to me while I was trying to play and of course you can't pause), but I still got about 47.5k score, which according to the S.Rank/Hyper guide is enough to hit Top 20 without a Keep. So uhh... yay.
But if anyone knows the answer to that question, that would be awesome.

Same week indeed. They have their own icons, so they're difficult to miss as well. I think Super Breaks can be performed on the week of release, though I've yet to bother to attempt one yet.

Oh yar, that's how it goes. Awesome performance? Interruptions are ready to pounce.
TheTanStar:
Just for reference, this is what a Super Break looks like on Dotop TV:
Also, if something interrupts you while an audition/live/festival is playing and you mess up, remember: The game only saves at the end of each week.
