Billboard launches Canadian top 100 albums with TEA/SEA
Quote:
DEMI LOVATO DEBUTS AT NO. 1 ON NEW TOP ALBUMS CHART
Demi Lovato’s “Confident” (Universal) debuts at number one on the newly formulated and newly named Billboard Canadian Albums chart. It is her second straight chart-topping album, following 2013’s “Demi.”
The new chart now includes on-demand streaming activity and digital track sales, as measured by Nielsen, along with pure album sales, which had previously been the only metric used to compile the album chart. The chart includes Track Equivalent Albums (TEA), which equate ten digital track sales from an album to one equivalent album sale, as well as Stream Equivalent Albums (SEA), which equate 1,500 song streams from an album to one equivalent album sale.

I was wondering when they'd finally convert their chart over too. Dead @ more than half the chart re-entering from previously non-charting though.
Now they need to switch the genre album charts (Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, etc) from pure sales to album consumption charts too. I believe they'll do it once 2016 starts.
01 7,600 Demi Lovato
02 just under 7,600 Various Artists - Forever Gentlemen
03 5,700 Les Soeurs Boulay
04 5,700 Machine Gun Kelly
05 4,700 Pentatonix
06 4,300 The Game
08 3,700 Bryan Adams

How many times can one company **** up the same concept?
