Hector Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Quote Word has it that Billboard has stripped roughly 20-25k in ticket-bundle redemptions from Capitol Christian-distribbed Hillsong United, costing them the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The 11th-hour decision essentially disallowed units that have never been excluded before. Will this be codified as a rule going forward, or will a subjective call be made on every chart about how chart bundles are handled? Or will we see the application of some new arbitrary standard, perhaps based on the phase of the moon or the reading of chicken entrails at Bible HQ? Also, what format is Lil Nas X? http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=316318&title=SILVIO-STRIKES-AGAIN Doesn't matter, I'm SO happy P!nk got that #1 album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can't_M!ss_This Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Only legends can cheat the system with bundles. No cults, no tax dodgers, no pedophiles allowed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHype. Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 And where was this protocol when Travis Scott went #1 on Billboard 200 & Hot 100 due to 69-cent bundles including his single and album? As much as I do love SICKO MODE being a #1 hit. Ticket & merch bundles are the biggest unmonitored/fraudulent joke ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if this becomes the norm, it is just going to go even further towards completely shutting out older/legacy artists from charting on BB.

Veteran artists NEED tour bundles in order to have somewhat of a level playing field with the young and hip pop and urban acts that dominate with streams.

I don’t think Madge would be gaining that much from bundles this time around anyway with those theater shows I actually like tour bundles being included it gives older acts who aren’t able to get good streaming numbers a fair chart position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoto Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 They should remove bundles for albums. It's ridiculous. I'm only okay with shows tickets, but they keep allowing merch bundles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braz Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 HDD is shady as **** too. They were predicting 119 k, Billboard says 107k and now they claim 25k units were removed? The math DOES. NOT. ADD. UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
