BlackoutZone Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Quote Digital Bulk Rule Adjustment The most notable change related to consumer purchases is the adjustment to rules around multiple or bulk digital purchases and their charting eligibility. Currently, 1 - 4 “unit” (album or single) purchases by one customer are counted, while 5 - 9 unit purchases are reverted to a max of 4 eligible sales. 10 or purchases by the same customer are dismissed. Beginning with the tracking week of Dec. 31, 2021, through Jan. 6, 2022: - 1 unit purchase will be counted - 2 or more units purchased by a customer will not be counted. The policy will not change for physical UPC sales as bulk will continue to be applied using the current standards noted above https://blog.singlemusic.com/blog/posts/billboardrulechanges Edited January 11, 2022 by BlackoutZone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Communion Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 They wimped out not doing it for physical too or at least lowering it to 2. Ain't nobody buying a physical single for themselves and 3 friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual_Insanity Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 They should do it for physical CDs and Vinyl too. There is as much manipulation there as there was in the singles chart digitally. Its a half assed rule change, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTS Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 BTS aren’t gonna stop getting #1s They have enough fans that 1 sale per person won’t affect their debuts. If anything its just gonna hurt their longevity. Definitely no more 10 week #1s unless they could combat this with more remixes () & their radioplay has been solid lately.
