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

In for this honestly
Restore the feeling
Im surprised there hasnt been any sales predictions this week so far.
I wanna see Taylor’s drop, Brandy’s debut and if Beyoncé can re-enter the top20
Cardi getting them last second bundles out
she tryna squeeze one more easy #1 before she actually gotta try lol

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
Cardi getting them last second bundles out
Even her come back is smoke and mirrors? Should’ve known
what song from folklore will become mainstays on the charts?
i hoping for the last great american dynasty or exile

exile 100%
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
for her next album there'll be physicals available in stores again. she'll do at least 800k
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.
Yet another #1 that falls out of the top 10
LMAO
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

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.
