The system the UK has is better. The 2 biggest songs streams don't count for the album chart.
This is a much fairer method as it makes it more about the ALBUMS popularity rather than it being driven by hit singles success. Hit singles have their own chart to shine in they shouldnt be distorting the album charts.
And if anybody DESERVES to be no1 its clearly Blake shelton looking at actual sales.
1. Drake (YMCMB/Republic) 178k SPS / 50k albums
2. Ariana Grande (Republic) 176k SPS / 131k albums
3. Blake Shelton (Warner Music Nashville) 166k SPS /152k albums
If this doesn't make Billboard realise that their rules need reworking I don't know what will. We all get streaming is a big thing but nothing is more telling than people actually spending their hard earned cash.
Discount the top 1 or 2 tracks from the streaming numbers.

LOL I always win.
I knew this was going to happen.
This week is a classic example of what i called over a year ago
If sps was what got your fave a #1 album you wouldnt be saying that his album is the most popular so he should get #1
I get you're new, but quite a few people have been saying this recently and it's nothing to do with people's faves. The rule needs to be adjusted as frankly it's pretty ridiculous at the moment. Streaming is weighted far too heavily.
