Billboard Makes Massive Change Top 200 Album Charts

[brettdale]

For the first time, the Billboard top 200 albums charts will now count catalog albums and albums that
had previously dropped out of the top 100.


Heres my take, l it doesnt matter if an album sells 10 copies or 20 million.

I own a ton of albums that have sold virtually nothing from artists that no one has heard of, and I own albums from artists that have been very successful.

What this new rule means, is we will see some classic albums back on the chart for a whole new generation to enjoy, 20 years from now instead of some kid looking at the latest chart and seeing a bunch of manufactured pop acts, they might see Pink Floyd, The Beatles, etc etc etc.

This is why I think this is brilliant.

Since soundscan came in the album charts have been accurate, expect for this one little flaw, that has now been closed.
