ugh your right!
I wish she discounted Bad Blood for one week so it could help the albums sales to land her on top

[Jeiboy]

Yeah but that was in 2011 when sales were much better. This is great for her considering she didn't have this huge push. Plus this is just pure sales. With streaming she could do well over 50k. It's great that artists like Tyrese and Jill are doing as well as they are with little promo and with straight R&B releases. R&B ha return!

[Ger-55]

Wow, the battle for #1 is going to be close. Goddess is close

And wow at Jill possibly getting another #1 album

If Future keeps doing good, he could be a contender for #1

#Team Jill

Her releases reminds me of India.Arie for some reasons

It'd be a good time for those Apple Music streams to start reporting and/or kick in for Taylor, or for her to put 1989 on sale for a week. That's something her label should consider.

[brianc33616]

And I love Hard Rock, but I can't pull for Lamb Of God. I'll leave it at that and will say nothing else.

I'm not here for seeing HDD to declare Her #1 then Billboard to say something different.

Or Billboard having Her at #1 then a few days later saying "Oh nevermind Soundscan gave us different updated numbers again, so no #1 week for Her, sorry."

Then someone comes in when it's none of her business and laughs about how Taylor shouldn't have tried to beat Jill anyway because that makes Her a bad feminist.

[Gossip_Boy]

I wish Bea's numbers were higher. Her album is VERY good.

I completely understand where you're coming from Friday. And with the numbers looking this close for that week, BB could very well declare an album #1 and a day later change it because Nielsen can't get its **** together.

That would cause huge problems for BB if it gives one album #1 then goes in and takes the ranking back a day or two later and gives someone else the #1 album for the week belatedly but nonetheless "officially" for chart and record keeping purposes.

[fridayteenage]

There have certainly been nail-biter finishes in the past; from the last year:
01 130,521 CHEEK TO CHEEK Tony Bennett & Lady GaGa
02 129,670 THE BIG REVIVAL Kenny Chesney

01 97,000 PIECE BY PIECE Kelly Clarkson
02 96,000 50 SHADES OF GREY Soundtrack

And both weeks of the chart changes, albums changed positions from the initial "official" numbers to the final actual official numbers, so clearly it's plausible:
Meek, Sam, Meghan, and Maroon all went down last week.
Magic Mike went down 3 spots the week before.
