As you can see, up above is the original Albums Chart that Dan has created before I finished making the Singles Chart. I looked at the chart, and noticed the numbers were pretty low overall and I didn't think he included Singles since I didn't send him the Singles Sales. After sending in my sales to him, it got fixed a bit but the numbers were still low and I had planning on changing the formula a bit so album sales could be generally higher. So then I noticed that Ellie was not on the chart... and I thought it was strange considering her current single is at #4 and she has four singles out and I remember seeing K$Ellie very active in the thread. So I worked out the new formula after like five tries (I was pretty much torturing Dan with the amount of re-dos that we had to do so you guys really need to appreciate him right now
) and I got to one where it was working very well. Dan sent me a basic root of the albums' sales and I added single sales, took some percents here and there and it ended up as Ellie getting #1. To be honest, at first I thought Ellie deserved #1 considering she does have three singles out right now and I thought she promoted pretty hard. I looked at it like 'PRISM' - having three singles (two promo + one lead) successful, so the album should do very well compared to others. Dan and I had a disagreement and a bit of a tense discussion about the chart but I ended posting it up. There was no rigging or anything like that - I can even post our PMs out here if Dan would be approving of that. I think you guys should know what happened at least, and that we really (once again, especially Dan) tried our best with this situation. That's really all I can say about the charts I think.
