What happened to the rule where you had to pay a certain amount for it to count?

Omg jay is ruining her

So they want to count free albums to her first week total?

Mess.

This is the messiest mess ever.

ANTI era is truly the gift that keeps on giving

Bling not the music

Her trying to give away the album for free and trying to cheat the charts.
But the navy said her star power grew bigger then ever ?

Well Jay's didn't count and neither should Rih's. You shouldn't be able to buy a number one album.

Just give it with Big Macs at this point

I can't handle the layers of mess this era keeps providing

The cheapest you can pay is $3.49 I believe. But if a company buys the product and bundles it with the album, like Taylor Swift did with Papa John's and many artists do with Ticketmaster, it somehow counts.

This is so sad but yet so true

Wait how is this different then distributing the album in a Walmart parking lot.

A free album should not count.
