According to Chart Data, Billboard has introduced a new rule, effective immediately, where only 1 digital sale will be counted per customer per week for songs and albums. Bulk purchases of 2 or more will not count. Oh lawwwwd...LOL.

Ultimately tho we’re about to see a lot of artists releasing Vinyls alongside theirs albums & singles, cuz I believe they count as 4 sales. only thing is, they take about 6 months to make. So artists would have to finish their projects months i…
