In the case of "Betcha Gon' Know": in the Hot Digital Chart it charted at #66 the first week and #72 the next one. Then it disappeared and re-entered another week.
It was strange because it didn't appear in the top 1000 neither in iTunes nor in Amazon.
It was a mistery, but it was obvious that those sales counted as "Betcha Gon' Know" were really digital copies of the album.
It seems that Billboard sometimes counts the digital sales of certain albums as sales of the track no.1
All of these cases they sold about 20k copies, getting them to chart in #60-#70 in the Hot Digital:
Yeah I think we should definitely give more credibility to a fanmade website with some glitchy fanmade "lead percentage"
system instead of Billboard (who has been doing charts for over 60 years) and Nielson Soundscan. ATRLogic

How did 180,000 sales appear out of nowhere???
ugh I wish I didn't miss this thread. I stan Lana but damn y'all went too ham too fast. You should have noticed the signs and questioned the validity of such huge sales. She still sold well but mess @ this thread omg

This is really bad. Like if this is a mistake, they should've caught it yesterday before publishing article. Which it has to be. I would love it to be real, but I can't figure out how after reading this entire thread.
I mean of course there is potential Amazon or Google Play sales, but I feel like Billboard would have made an article or something about her larger than expected sales and its sources.
Right?
IDK why you all are dragging Lana fans. BB/Nielsen are the ones who need to be dragged.
