That was the moment when Billboard needed to crack down on sales. Sales are not inflated as an entity, never said that. Kpop sales specifically are bulk bought by fans which is why they are topping BB200 for 1 week with 6 figure sales then disappear from the charts. The UK has a good rule about disqualifying albums that incentivize bill buying albums like Kpop albums do. I think BB needs to incorporate something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have seen the past two weeks (with Seven and TTiaST), all it takes is several thousand sales to beat out millions of streams and radio listeners.

Starchild Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Lord the obession to get rid of SALES FOR ALBUMS is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard (even though I hear it constantly from the same 2 ppl). You can say that about singles but physical albums are still bought by people and are expensive af, imagine telling someone "oh yes your sale won't count because I don't think it should affect BB sales chart" gtfoh 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slw84 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Oh so it was CLOSE close. They got rid of quite a few units for New Jeans since it was around 140k right??? Congrats to New Jeans I guess. I kind of feel like Barbie SDTK might be able to pull it out contingent upon Travis' 2nd or 3rd week before Drake releases. Unless someone else big is relating this or next week Taylor's Lover sitting steady. Casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
