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?

It's a case that has merit. Tyler and Khaled are both with Sony so they won at the end of the day, yet they made no effort to guarantee that all of his sales were counted towards the total like Tyler's was.

We’re told Billboard had agreed it would count downloads from Khaled’s energy drink package, which sources in the artist’s camp say amounted to more than 100,000. Billboard later backtracked, disqualifying Khaled’s entire sales from the promotion, arguing there were “anomalies” in his figures.

It's right there in the article why Billboard didn't count it. Khalid probably tried to cook the books while Tyler didn't.

Sucker move by Khaled but I'm pretty sure the album needs to go number 1 for him in order to activate different clauses in the contract etc

The Internet says sales and awards don't matter when they clearly do to the artists. Same reason that Nicki had her public spat with Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner for them manipulating their sales with their various bundle deals. It impacts what leverage and negotiating power you have with the label when it comes to contracts and projects.


:mjlol: him and nicki BOTH BIG CLOWNS... WE THE ''2nd'' BEST

Even Nicki wasn't this bytchmade. Get this camel fukker a tampon.

you're right, nicki was even worse, thot was slandering baby stormi over her #2 position.. fucc all of them.

Not sure what I see clownish about what dude is fighting for. From the math if I did r nearly 100,000 more albums than you and got second because of a disagreement in my bundle I'd go off too. Just think about the historical leverage of having a number 1 album. For some it could be the last album
