They should've did it this past year cause it would've been cool to finally have the GRAMMY sales boosts correlate with the complete tracking week the only time. Since GRAMMY boosts start Sunday night and the new tracking week doesn't start til Midnigjt when it's Monday. But now with the whole universal release dates changing to Friday they'll just lose a day. Still the sales won't be split into two weeks anymore tho.
