Luc 4,775 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Does this mean the 2,000 Gaga signed are not included in HDD? highly doubt they arent. the action was done to secure the #1, of course theyd make sure it counts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'd worry more about losing #1 if it was 731k vs 729k, and the difference was a tiny fraction of the total. Chesney has 7 #1 albums since 2000. Barbra has a #1 in 6 straight decades. Beating them is an achievement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,761 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Because Billboard and HDD use different stores.. the difference lies in the small stores. Is the list of stores Billboard uses published and consistent? Otherwise, Billboard could choose different stores each week to elevate the artists they want to help, or to hurt an artist unpopular with the public right now. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Is the list of stores Billboard uses published and consistent? Otherwise, Billboard could choose different stores each week to elevate the artists they want to help, or to hurt an artist unpopular with the public right now. That doesn't happen. Soundscan has a number of retailers that report to them. If a retailer that usually doesn't report to them ends up reporting that week, Billboard will note it. Generally, the same retailers report each week to Soundscan. There's no pick and choose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills 446 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 How often has HDD #1 not been the #1 on BB? They're always right with the positions in recent years, as far as I'm aware of. However, the 1.6k difference between the #1 and #2 is very rare. I couldn't remember the last time this has happened. A couple of small retailers which are counted by SoundScan, but not by HDD, could easily change the positions. As mentioned countless times ever since the HDD's numbers were slowly revealed, let's just hope for the best. A 3rd consecutive #1 on the BB 200 would be AMAZING. Great promo too!
