Okay. The Nielsen Sound Scan information is not available. The article only provides the airplay totals and some raw data on Hunt's Body Like A Back Road, which broke Cruise's 24 week run 2012-3.

does this mean all of the charts should be coming tonight

The update actually only gives us the airplay totals. Jim went ahead and posted what he could without the Nielsen/SS data. So I don't know what time today we will get the full results.

Billboard is gonna pull some shady rule change just like they did for Blackout to debut at #2 instead of 1 :biblio:

Depending on how my neck feels later today, how much time I need to drive for UBER, and reformatting my Thesis, I may resume writing my airplay articles (Active Rock, Alternative/AAA, and Country). I will try to drive earlier so that I can get those pieces out, for the first time in about a year.

Yeah. The Eagles have always seemed to get special treatment by not just BB, but also the RIAA. How that Eagles album was certified 7XP for 3.2 M in sales still confounds me all of these years later.

The release of this week’s Billboard’s non-airplay charts, including Hot Country Songs and Top Country Albums, is delayed due to data issues. Because of this, the corresponding charts are not included in this edition of Billboard Country Update

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" soars from No. 10 to No. 1 with 477,000 downloads sold—the second-largest sales week of the year for a song. The track rises to the top with a 312% gain in the wake of its Sept. 9 music video premiere. Only one song this year has sold more in a week: Katy Perry's "Roar," which debuted at No. 1 with 557,000. This week, "Roar" slips from No. 1 to No. 2 with 331,000, down 11%.

While we wait.

Let us throwback to the closest race for a #1 album:

This was a messy chart week both in BB 200 and Hot 100.

:gaycat4:

OMG, do you remember the meltdowns when Demi was actually #2, and then the "Hotline Bling" mess. I was actually happy for Pentatonix since they sold the most. What a fun week :dies: 

 

Also a shady photo for the article:

98k for both and there was an ATRLer that bulked buy Demi's Album in one purchase. :ahh:

 

And Drake releasing on Apple instead of Vevo screwed him that #1.

But it wasn't certified 7x platinum until it had 3.5m sales...

 

while led the rules change at the time might have questionable timing, not that any time is good for rules chsnges, the inclusion of exclusive physical sales was the right thing to do.

 

sometimes though it's hard to change rules, until you find out they are wrong and need changed.

 

another element is the fact thst often BB needs to negotiate with labels or their data suppliers to include certain data.  In The Eagles case such negotiations were required from/with their data supplier.

 

unlike this week, the race wasn't even close between it and blackout...

 

one kf of the best rule chsnges BB has ever made.

I agree it was a good idea. But the questionable time, given the special consideration the band by the RIAA. For example Greatest Hits 1971-5, at 2.9 Diamond, is way over certified; Billboard confronted the RIAA as to how an album with ~900k in sales in the given period of time also increased by 8 M, 1.4 Diamond to 2.2 Diamond. The RIAA couldn't come up with an answer.

Except for a song dropping from 550k units to 330k is MUCH larger than an 11% decline. That's closer to 40%

We don't, we have HDD numbers (provided by BuzzAngle), but Billboard uses Nielsen ones, different companies.
