No, it's really not. When the alterations to the BB200 are experimental, potentially not permanent, and subject to further change given streaming rates and declining album sales, it's pretty difficult to claim that only the consumption chart matters while the sales chart does not. Furthermore, if the sales chart doesn't matter, then how can one give literally any significance to the past 70+ years of albums charts, or the past half century of BB200 issues? Singles have been available since the beginning of the rock era and streaming has been around for years, yet nobody ever claimed the BB200 didn't matter before it included those components just 3 months ago. The current BB200 setup is essentially a desperate ploy to quickly adjust to a changing industry now that Billboard has realized that full album sales are, in fact, dying, and that said death is inevitable and irreversible. Album sales, however, still matter - moreso than consumption totals when examining how the format is losing popularity, and moreso than other formats in general because albums still bring in far more revenue than any other consumption medium.

76%

Madge - 93k
Empire - 82k

Could she pull far enough ahead on pure sales? If she ends up 15k ahead or something, is Empire selling/streaming enough to make the difference?

If you guys wanna help do this !

1.Buy the album on iTunes or Physical duh!

2. If you don't feel like buying it please listen to it on https://www.spotify.com for free 1.500 plays = 1 album sale (I just mute it and let it play all day on repeat while i do other things tbh)

3. Redeem the Super Deluxe album if you bought tickets for the tour! if the code is not working contact ticket master or the site where you bought the tickets during the pre-sale they will send you another code !

Everything counts for BB 200 chart let's slay those numbers hunties
