Billboard didn’t give him anything, neither Tyler or Khaled are #1 as of right now on Billboard Top 200, he’s advanced past Tyler though.

He’s got the #1 rnb/hip hop album, tryna finesse people again acting like he got what he wanted. Even shut down his comments cause the Ls were pouring and it was not only the skinny hipster ass OF stans :mjcry:


I don’t even get why he’s being a bytch, a young dude did a complete body of work. He’s an industry worker who put the major labels biggest artists on the biggest producers tracks and shoots the video with commercials for label affiliated products. Pure business, so it should be about the bread. Dude has Rihanna, Beiber, Beyoncé and such people on tracks and acts like people play the tracks cause of him :snoop:

DJ Khaled Played Himself With an Energy Drink Bundle Scandal
According to the Times, DJ Khaled's Father of Asahd and Tyler, the Creator's Igor were recently fighting for the top spot, with a similar number of streams, so Billboard compared the bundle campaigns for both albums. Bundling is a common practice of providing album downloads along with merch or other sales, since album downloads hold more weight than streams. Because of the way Shop.com's parent company, Market America, promoted bulk sales, Billboard disqualified DJ Khaled's bundles, amounting to the loss of least 100,000 sales, according to Page Six (that number was allegedly disputed by its sources at Billboard). The online store allegedly encouraged members via blog post to "buy 12 packages [of energy drinks] to 'push DJ Khaled and Market America to No.1!"

Market America, a multilevel marketing company, has been accused of being an "illegal pyramid scheme" that unfairly targets Chinese American immigrants and pushes sales quotas, according to a 2017 racketeering lawsuit. As Deanna Brown, the president of the Billboard-Hollywood Reporter Media Group, told the Times, "We saw an organization encouraging purchases among their members by promising them material and organizational benefits."

Little does Billboard know they're destroying the value of the chart. With all these damn added stipulations.
Sales should be physical copies bought and paid for downloads. Simple

At this point, I don't even know what it means to be #1 on Billboard with sales or song.

Looking back at it, they probably shouldn't have allowed Jay to use company promotions to manipulate sales many years ago

Bundles should not count.

Hypothetical:

What happens if Drake bundles his album with Toronto Raptor season ticket sales?... Toronto's home attendance this season was 812k

Bundles should not count.period.

100%

They need to nip this shyt in the bud asap. Theres literally no reason to allow it besides to placate artists that want to seem bigger than they actually are

Like you said, when actual big artists start doing this and if they do it as cheap/widespread as everyone else, they'll gonna fukking dwarf everybody and make the charts immediately irrelevant.
