Arts Beat - Big Sean Opens at No. 1 (March 2015) http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/...esarts&_r=0
"Big Sean’s new album, “Dark Sky Paradise” (G.O. O.D./Def Jam), opened at the top of Billboard’s latest chart, with 139,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen Music. By album sales alone, “Dark Sky” barely beat the next-best seller, Kid Rock’s “First Kiss” (Warner Bros.), which opened at No. 2 with 137,000 copies sold. But recent changes to Billboard’s chart rules widened Big Sean’s lead.
First, “Dark Sky” was far more popular on streaming services like Spotify, with songs getting 17 million plays in the United States; “First Kiss,” on the other hand, had only 580,000 streams. Billboard’s rankings also reflect how many individual tracks have been downloaded from an album, and Big Sean had the advantage there, too, with 218,000 tracks, versus just 85,000 for Kid Rock.
In Billboard’s new rules, 1,500 streams or 10 track downloads are each equivalent to the sale of one complete album. So by that formula, “Dark Sky Paradise” ended up with 173,000 “album equivalent units” and “First Kiss” had 146,000."

Quite simple. Dont preorder off itunes. Because it clears all toh tracks purchased. Just buy the GT track. Then stream on Spotify. The streams of Toh album on week of release well be more important though.Love2Lurk:8926 wrote:Here we go again.....LOL :laugh:

Source: Billboard http://www.billboard.com/articles/busin ... ns-changes"However, in the new configuration, all pre-orders are wiped clean as the clock strikes midnight on the day of the release. Consequently, that title's chart position is determined by what new sales activity takes place on the first day of its release, not all the activity it had generated through pre-orders. This move cuts down chances of landing the No. 1 spot, as the new release will have to get there solely through new purchases on the day of release.
Major label executives say they understand why Apple made the move it did, but that it will take some getting used to. "This is a big move, because everyone in the industry pays attention to the iTunes storefront more than any other store or service," says one major label executive. "No one looks at the Amazon, Google or Spotify music pages the way they pay attention to iTunes."

I have never pre-ordered music. Never understood the point. Unless it's some limited special deal, it's not as though they'll run out. I just wait until the day the album goes on sale and buy it.Love2Lurk:8926 wrote:Here we go again.....LOL :laugh:

Well now I feel stupid. I said I never pre-ordered thinking of iTunes but of course, I pre-ordered Adam's albums on adamofficial. Since Trespassing was the last physical album I actually bought, it's been so long I completely forgot how and where I ordered it. Ooops! :laugh:donnamb:8944 wrote:Well, if you want a physical cd to show as soon as possible, I would pre-order. Hopefully an order through adamofficial would do that? I'm almost never anywhere near a brick and mortar store to march in and buy something.
Still don't get pre-ordering on iTunes.
will the single be available for pre-order. I thought the pre-order information was for the album.madamimadam:8946 wrote:We're talking about the single...donnamb:8944 wrote:Well, if you want a physical cd to show as soon as possible, I would pre-order.
