Yeah but Samsung made the purchase, not the people who downloaded, so technically on the release day 1mil were bought by Samsung in one second, so I wonder if now all the 1mil are counted or not? Because if I remember right it's only counted if 1 album=1 receipt so if you buy 2 in 1 receipt it's counted as 1 sale now.. so if they bought in 1 receipt so it's counted as 1 sale... maybe I'm wrong and I'm making a mess.

I think in this sort of exceptional situations there is no clear answer. I guess Billboard itself is considering right now if these sales count or not, but since it's such a major deal with a huge company normal "rules" don't apply. We'll have to wait and see what Billboard decides. Oh, I'm just visiting- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung paid for each individual download. they didn't buy copies in advance but paid when copy was downloaded. But no It doesn't count for its sales, it only counts for certification.

Anthagio 113 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Billboard has already made their decision. They didn't count it for Jay Z and they're not going to count it for Rihanna. Billboard is about showcasing what the people are currently listening to and buying, not what corporations are buying in order to inflate sales/certifications.

I can't believe Rihanna isn't embarrassed to all hell. It's like if Katy publicly bought radio airtime. Even she has the decency to at least cover it up! Well, Rihanna, we are embarrassed for you I guess... i'm sorry sweetie but qhy exactly should Rihanna be embarrassed? she found a way to not only get her COINT (because Samsung paid for 1 million albums) AND get her music heard (because literally everyone downloaded it) AND be one step ahead of the music piraters. if anything, LEGEND RIHANNA should be praised!

manyatyau 262 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 frankly, It's not wise..platinum means nothing, it's just a tiltle..She should rather let the GP hate on her album than hate on her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
