MTE. Is it something to do with debuts instead? I was gonna say maybe 4 debuts per week, but there are only 2 new entries. Nnn now I’m confused and curious, does anyone have an explanation?

From what I knew they capped maximum 2-4 new entries charted that only applied on the first four weeks of the album bombs. For Taylor case, 4 tracks were allowed to be charted last week because she doesn't have other songs charted for that particular week. This week only 2 new entries from Midnights are allowed to chart because there are more than 2 tracks currently being charted and repeat the process for the next 2 weeks.

 

Personally, while it's not an ideal solution but this is much better than the UK charts on handling the album bombs with the maximum 3 tracks rule.

Oh wow thank you!

 

It sounds a bit complicated but I definitely agree its a better system than the UK’s, which is far too restrictive.
