DJ Khaled planning to sue Billboard over #2 debut

DJ Khaled is poised to hit the Billboard Chart with a monster lawsuit alleging the organization unfairly disqualified more than 100,000 sales of “Father of Asahd,” robbing him of the No. 1 spot.

 Khaled was furious when his album came in at No.  2 to Tyler, the Creator’s “IGOR,” after Billboard allegedly discounted downloads sold by the DJ and producer as part of a “bundle deal” with an energy drink.

Page Six exclusively reported a few days ago that Khaled had a tense meeting with Sylvia Rhone, chairman and CEO of his label Epic, over the matter. The source explained, “Khaled was frustrated his label didn’t fight harder for his bundle sales to be included.”

A Billboard source disputed that 100,000 DJ Khaled sales were disqualified but admitted an undisclosed number of his sales were ruled out because “there were strange anomalies in the data,” adding that the decision was based on chart rules following talks with Khaled’s management, Sony Records and Nielsen. Billboard announced it has reviewed its rules allowing artists to bundle albums with merch and will outline a new policy for 2020.

Artists just can’t humbly come second :wtfga: they bundle their music with t-shirts, concert tickets, food, drinks, socks, kitchen tupperware, the kitchen sink and a five course meal. Couple that with the insane Spotify deals and is it any surprise we can’t asses the true success of an album? :neyde: 

Signature loading… 👹🖤

Man, 2 place isn't even that bad, specially since he doesn't do anything at all in his music, besides puting his name on it.
