Mr positivity

[ReturnOfJudah]

Somebody need to start at “get Khaled out the rap game movement”

 

[DEXPER]

Lol. Lame nikka shyt. Dude a big ass baby.

 

[Rell Lauren]

All this goes to show is that these big name artist must have backdoor deals dependent on their charts positions

That is the only explanation for these nicki minaj and khaled tier artists to have these freakouts over not being number one

Provides leverage when negotiating new deals. Likely have stipulations in their contract that have money released to them if they reach certain thresholds like athletes needing to meet certain milestones in an incentive based deal.

 

[Formerly known as...]

That's not his point.

It's that billboard suddenly changed their mind and has a double standard on which bundles count.

But he is still moaning like a ho. Accept having number 2 and keep it moving.

 

[Meowth tote da Uzi]

At the end of the day Sony eating off both them nikkas so it dont matter who is number 1.

That PS5 dropping next year

I mean if they are counting Tyler's bundle sales and not his then he has a real case. Im not seeing anything he's doing wrong. Am i bugging?

"Used to look up to Billboard but we was young"

"Now I look at Billboard like is you dumb?

Billboard has been clown shyt ever since the streaming era started. He acting like a scorned female cause someone ended up with a higher opening than him. Unless he has some contract stipulation that gives him more money for a #1 or something he acting like a whole hoe shading nikkas for something meaningless.

But he is still moaning like a ho. Accept having number 2 and keep it moving.

If he is literally suing then potentially he gets a check out of it while setting a precedent to make billboard stick to one thing for everyone else in the future.

I get the whole "it's a number 2 album...he shouldn't be making a big deal about it" but if that's your logic then other people shouldn't be making a big deal out of his reaction.

I was thinking something like this. Like maybe the product you buy has to cost more than what the album will

He was probably trying to sell 2 dollar energy drinks And you get the album

Compared to if you cop a shirt and hat for 50 bucks and get the album link that way. I could be wrong

In short, we’ve made a change to protect the integrity and intent of the Billboard charts. Ultimately, what swayed us to make change now – removed from any pressure connected to any particular album – was the fact that we wouldn’t want an album that sold for one penny to count on our charts. Our charts are meant to indicate consumer intent. And once you accept that you don’t want to count penny albums, the only remaining question is simply where a threshold should be. After canvassing the industry, we arrived at a $3.49 minimum price point as being the most reasonable for a new (or re-released) album as that figure is slightly more than half of the average wholesale price for a digital album and has been established as a bottom-tier discount price among consumers for digital releases.

Alright 3.49 I thought it was higher, It was RIAA which had the higher figure but lower at wholesale.

Updated on 2-2-2016 by Keith Nelson Jr: A spokesperson for the RIAA contacted Digital Trends to clarify its certification process. RIAA has a number of requirements that needs to be met for its certifications, which are then audited by a third party auditing company. One crucial requirement is an album must be sold for at least an average retail value of $6 or an average wholesale value of $2 for that sale to be counted towards an RIAA certification. This would help prevent a record label from simply buying millions of its artist’s albums to get a certification. Additionally, RIAA does not count albums given out for free as part of promotions towards certifications. However, the album sales from Rihanna, Samsung and Tidal’s promotion counted towards a certification because a) Rihanna and her label were compensated beforehand, and b) proof of fan/consumer active, lean-forward demand, since her fans chose to use the free promo code to download the album instead of simply being given the album.

And

Billboard stuck to its policy of not counting albums sold for free towards the charts and explained that if the app was sold for Billboard’s minimum pricing threshold, $3.49, the sales would have counted.

My man Jigga and the good folks at Roc Nation always tryna come through with the tactics
