iHype. Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Quote Our latest SPS chart has Taylor Swift's #1 bow for reputation at 1.29m, edging past the first-week total for prior giant 1989. But in a further demonstration of how completely out of touch John Amato and team are, the industry Bible gave her a total of around 1.26m. In doing so, they took their eye off the ball during a crucial moment for the entire industry—because they didn’t care . If they did care, they would’ve done the work to find out what really happened with the year's most eagerly awaited album, considering the importance of an accurate count to one of the industry's hugest stars, her label or the biz at large. The performance of reputation in the 2017 marketplace is historic; despite steep drops in retail, Taylor achieved an unprecedented fourth straight million-plus bow almost entirely with sales and eclipsed the 2014 debut of her last blockbuster. When they saw our chart number (a total with which BuzzAngle Music agrees), they could’ve dug down into their numbers to locate the malfunction. But they couldn’t be bothered. Taylor and Big Machine are said to be apoplectic about this absurd lapse. A publication that cared about the music business would have done its utmost to get this right. Even if it required Amato to miss a photo op backstage at the AMAs. But Billboard isn't in the music business. If it wants to change this, Amato and his coterie of sycophants must go. 1 http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=309435

dperkins Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) A difference of 30,000? Edited November 20, 2017 by dperkins
Hector Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) It's only a minuscule difference? Why the soap opera overacting, HDD? Edited November 20, 2017 by Hector
BZZ Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 What? Don't they always have different numbers? Can someone explain why we care?
Mrguilbeaux Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 .03 million difference? Taylor really wants every sale to count which, hey, is her right
RudeBoyy Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Can we call the good sis Jill Stein and get a recount going?
ATRL Moderator Samson Posted November 20, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted November 20, 2017 all of this over 30k difference when either way the number is still gargantuan

Toxicity. Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Taylor and Big Machine are said to be apoplectic about this absurd lapse. :ahh:
Bentley Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I mean she's number 1 and getting her money from each sale. What's the issue?
Toxicity. Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 The only reason I can see them caring about this is because HDD's numbers have it outselling 1989 and BB's don't so
Save-Me-Oprah Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 30,000 copies is almost as much as some girls get in total first week, I don't blame Big Machine for fuming.
Champ Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 In the climate where 40k+ sales can become a number 1 album, 30k sales is significant. Recount!
Black Umbrella Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Some girls debut in the top 10 with 30k. I don't blame her/them.
