New Rules
Billboard 200 Update
Billboard's new "fan packs" rule will be limited to two options per album release. Items must be available separately and digital download bundles will not count. Offerings must be approved in advance.
Billboard Hot 100 CDs
CDs, vinlys and cassettes will count for billboard hot 100 because they are physical sales! Digital sales from iTunes, amazon and Qobuz will count too!
Billboard Hot 200 Albums
For sales designated as bulk, the following credit will apply (UPC/ISRC level): A customer who purchases 1 to 4 units will be ingested without any adjustments. A customer who purchases 5 to 9 units will have that customer's count reduced to 4 units for sales and ingested. A customer who purchases 10 or more units will be dismissed entirely, having that customer's count adjusted to 0 units for sales and will not be ingested.
