ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted March 18, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2023 The first greatest hits album by Nicki, Queen Radio: Volume 1, has had an unstable chart run since it’s release. It was released in late August, and debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200. It performed pretty well until Christmas, and since then, unexpectedly increases 80 positions on the charts, and then goes down again. Why is it’s charting trajectory so unstable? Here is the album’s charting timeline since release (so far): Quote 10-20-16-30-21-36-34-50-96-103-164-OUT-OUT-OUT-59-122-83-139-33-39-33 -88-101-95-99-110-46-94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruel Summer Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 This is probably a result of stream and track equivalent units being attributed to the best selling album on which the song appears; the same thing happens with The Weeknd and his album The Highlights. When the original album for a particular song sells more that week, that album spikes on the BB200 and The Highlights drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monday Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Aren't greatest hits albums sometimes done in by the OG albums? I think The Weeknd's GH album and Starboy have had a similar situation that's happened Edited March 18, 2023 by Blue Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown away Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It depends on how much it sells compared to her other albums. The is this weird Billboard rule. If Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded sells more in a week than the GH album, all the streams of Starships and Pound The Alarm for that week count for PFRR. If GH sells more the following week, the streams of Starships and Pound The Alarm for that week count for GH. It goes the same for her other studio albums, hence causing massive fluctuations for the GH album. The Weeknd has the same issue with his Greatest Hits.

Weekend fluctuating is shown when original parent album move up, and GH tumbles down. Nicki has no other album charting, meaning GH have been best selling album during all its chart run.

Nicki has no other album charting, meaning GH have been best selling album during all its chart run. One of her other albums can receive the streams in a week where it sells more than the GH but still not chart. The GH can stay charting (but likely drop) because it's still getting streams from the other songs not from that aforementioned studio album. (i.e. Pink Friday sells 500 copies and GH sells 450, all PF single streams go to the parent album but that still may not be enough for it to chart, we would only see the GH drop on the BB200.)
