Hol Up, Rae Sremmurd album sold 652k? :dahell:

[L&HH]

Ill say a good amount of those "sales" are just streams

It takes like 1000 streams to equal a sale and according to @Prodigal Syndicate it's 122k physical sales so 650k-120k=530k

They'd have to have over 500 million sreams. I suppose if they're counting all their plays from every service: youtube, soundcloud, spotify, pandora....tidal

Billboard’s New Math: 1,500 Streams = One Album Sale
Thursday, November 20, 2014Paul Resnikoff

Billboard refuses to count any album priced below $3.49, which dramatically affectedhistorical counts for artists like Lady Gaga andTaylor Swift. Now, Billboard’s charts will

make even less sense.

Effective December 3rd, streaming will count in Billboard’s Top 200 album ranking, a former bellwether of sales accomplishment. “The Billboard 200 albums chart will premiere its biggest upgrade in more than 23 years, transforming from a pure sales-based ranking to one measuring multi-metric consumption,” Billboard just announced.

“THE UPDATED BILLBOARD 200 WILL UTILIZE ACCEPTED INDUSTRY BENCHMARKS FOR DIGITAL AND STREAMING DATA, EQUATING 10 DIGITAL TRACK SALES FROM AN ALBUM TO ONE EQUIVALENT ALBUM SALE, AND 1,500 SONG STREAMS FROM AN ALBUM TO ONE EQUIVALENT ALBUM SALE.”
The move follows an overhaul of the singles charts last year, which now integrates streaming alongside song download sales. According Billboard, plays from a range of streaming services will count, including Spotify, Beats, Google Play, and Xbox Music.

These nikkas stay doing shyt like this...they take some ridiculous number and play it off like it's total sales or a #1 record and shyt. Khaled stays claiming to have the #1 record in the country when it's really #1 on the "Under 100 Bubbling Twitter Hot 2000 Bubble Hip Hop Trend" list or some bullshyt category like that.

Sidenote Young Thug only sold 33K nikka got outsold by the Pitch Perfect soundtrack
