I agree, if I had it my way, it would be one album per person. However, I’d be okay if the limit was 2 (keep one and send the second as a gift). Anything more than that is ridiculous and shouldn’t count towards the BB 200.

it's really not gonna change that much. 

 

basically it just means that artists will have the opportunity to have two bundles that they can sell which billboard has to approve. for example, they can sell a hoodie and a cd together, or a shirt and a cd. the products still have to be available separately though and it's not gonna inflate sales as much as digital bundles did. 

Got it,  thanks. I figured it didn't sound bad as ATRLers were making it out to be.

How would this have affected Taylor’s clock sales? Would only half the clocks count for the chart? Or would the full clocks count?

Honestly, it seems pretty well regulated to me. It probably won't be cheap enough for fans to mass buy, but it won't be too expensive so fans actually afford it.

 

Sounds like a win-win to me  Hopefully it works out.

not me being right about Taylor dropping literally a week after this is applied

they change their rules every week, depending how the labels pay them...a ******* fraud...

And it's been like that since 2012
