Soundscan for Sale

COUNTING ON SOUNDSCAN: With Billboard’s decision last week that only albums selling for more than $3.49 and singles over 39 cents will count on their charts, both Google and Amazon launched $1.99 specials on a variety of albums, including the new Mary J. Blige as well as Lady Gaga and LMFAO. According to the rules, those discounted releases which have been out for more than four weeks (i.e. Gaga and LMFAO) will have those sales numbers included in their chart totals. Blige will not.
