I have now joined you in the Fresh freezer LOL Still blocked and it's been about 20 minutes. Off to watch TV for awhile! The cooling off is probably at least 2 hours but sometimes it ends up being more. |

BTW, I saw Nate Reuss album advertised on MTV today when I was watching Catfish. (YES, I admit it. I watch Catfish.) Also, every PBS station in the US has been showing the James Taylor/Carole King special that was recorded at a live show in 2007 all weekend long. Well, we have Jimmy Fallon coming up tomorrow and that should give Adam's album some good publicity. I think I might be missing something in this context, maybe because I'm from the UK. How important is it that TOH makes #1 on release week ? I understand that there's some prestige and publicity at stake, but would #2 or #3 with a good sales number be a problem ? |

Hello everyone! I just popped in and saw the info on page 1. I was curious about the statement that YouTube streams definitely don't count for the Billboard 200 album chart. I've always been iffy about it but hedged bets in my long post today: requestadamlambert.com/2015/06/14/priorities-for-album-release-week/ ... I've never seen Billboard publish anything definitively; intentionally vague! But this evening I did an exercise with Taylor Swift's album, which left me pretty convinced that YouTube streams actually do count. Billboard just doesn't want to spell things out. Here's what I found regarding Swift: She sold 34,320 albums last week. With TEA's and SEA's (streaming album and sales), she "sold" a total of 69,507 for Billboard 200 chart. (That means 35K was TEA's and SEA's). On the TEA's, she sold 213K of her current hit, Bad Blood. That's equivalent to 21,300 albums (10 single sales = 1 album sale). That gives you 55,620 total album sales and TEA's. The remaining 14K TEA's are sales of her other tracks and streaming. Her two previous songs, Style and Shake It Off, sold 50,000 copies combined last week so that equals another 5K albums. That leaves us with 9K album units coming from streaming. In order to reach that number it's 9,000 x 1,500 (1,500 streams = 1 album sale). That means roughly 13.5 million streams! Swift doesn't do Spotify, etc. I know there are other on-demand services but not with the reach of YouTube. And her fans use YouTube a lot! So this makes me think that YouTube streams must indeed count for the Billboard 200 numbers. Any thoughts? Thank you! According to Billboard only audio streams count for the Billboard 200. I have listed all the streaming services they count on page one -- this is from Billboard official documents. It is also in many company official documents. I have read that previously about the audio. That initially had made me think no to video, but when something doesn't count, like Pandora, YouTube generally spells it out. And this isn't spelled out. We are inferring. My point was it's very hard to see how Taylor gets to 13.5 million streams last week without YouTube streams since she doesn't do Spotify. |

that felt good. Doesn't seem to be a limit on voting and Adam is now up to 45%. thinking some of you might have been clicking away as well waiting for the midnight hour. |

Isn't GT supposed to be on the regular count down next week? Does that mean it would play twice if it won this? There's not really a direct correlation between the mediabase chart and the AT40 countdown. I don't think GT would be eligible for the Subway thing if it was due to be on the countdown so it could be that it is still just out of range. Not surprising since it was just below #30 last week. I say vote like hell for the Subway thing again. Yep, get those spins |
