Releasing it via digital retailers and from those copies 1.5M to be in the US to make it 2xPlatinum when taking into account singles sales and streams.
That is the 25M from samsung / 7 $ that is the minimum price the album has to have to be counted as a sale from Billboard.
So. Rih will have 3.5M copies sold first week. We wouldnt have to worry about its performance in the charts. And we would have the freaking album one and for all.
I think that would be an AMAZING way of doing it TBH.
Then R9 can become another usual release again

The only way this will work is if the people with the phones actually make the choice to download the albums, and pay. The reason Billboard didn't count the Magna Carter sales is because they got to people for free. Even though Samsung paid for them, the final consumers didn't, and thus it didn't count towards the "official" sales.
