    On one hand this is cool because artists labels are complete s*** heads about sending out physicals. I still haven’t got my Hollywood’s Bleeding cd. But on the other hand I think some labels will just start refusing to sell physicals as it would be impossible for every release to be ready first week

    We're gonna start seeing those 12 track deluxe albums released the same week physicals all get shipped out.

    I wonder if this would actually lead to fans waiting longer to receive CDs and vinyl in the mail. Instead of orders shipping out when they're ready, labels might hold orders and ship them all out at once so the sales aren't all spread out

    New rules might also have the unintended side effect of bringing back albums leaking weeks before release if labels attempt to have physicals ready to ship the first week

    True. Would be interesting to see if this leads to sales being higher the week deluxe drops, than the actual first week.

    So:

    • Taylor dropped by 700K

    • Beyoncé will be top15

    • Brandy is #10 but The Weeknd is #11 with the same numbers.
      Please stream B7 by Brandy

    Unless artists find another way to finesse Billboard between now and her next album she's gonna barely hit 500k

    for her next album there'll be physicals available in stores again. she'll do at least 800k

    Holy s*** this is a big deal

    what im wondering is

    how will they know if the physical actaully 'shipped'

    cant artist just send a 'shipped' mail then say whoopsie its delayed a week later, how would that affect this

    exactly lol, it's such a big market for Taylor that I quite was surprised she was able to do as much with folklore without it

    Taylor has a loyal fanbase. You have to tour around the world to get one. 50 learned that from Em, and it worked for him too.

    80k sales. Barbs really going bankrupt

    Damn apparently most of those sales are from Barbs abusing the 4 sales per card loophole and not even bundles. Talkofthecharts really gave them the blueprint to manipulate the charts

  • Aug 5, 2020

    Barbs need serious help.

    I’m just curious why they didn’t do any of this when Queen released...

    They let that flop but buying up all her features.

  • Aug 5, 2020

    Queen didn’t even go #1 cause Trab out bundled the barbs Lmaoo.
