Again, that is wrong.
It won't be a HUGE number, because most won't realize it's out. I already explained this a few pages ago.
Examples:
2009: -- 25 T.I. HELL OF A LIFE 49328
999 35 49363
It sold 35 copies in that 1-hour, hence a "999%" increase/debut on the chart with a full week.
Same chart.
-- 48 BROWN*CHRIS FEAT. LIL WAYNE & I CAN TRANSFORM YA 27558
999 398 27956
Sold 398 copies in that final hour.
More recently.
1 swift*taylor 1989 1,286,544
999 212 1,286,761
And so on and so on.
A few hundred copies don't mean much, but could be difference between Top 10 and a #11 debut. So everyone just don't buy it until Midnight.
