SILVIO STRIKES AGAIN

Word has it that Billboard has stripped roughly 20-25k in ticket-bundle redemptions from Capitol Christian-distribbed Hillsong United, costing them the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The 11th-hour decision essentially disallowed units that have never been excluded before. Will this be codified as a rule going forward, or will a subjective call be made on every chart about how chart bundles are handled? Or will we see the application of some new arbitrary standard, perhaps based on the phase of the moon or the reading of chicken entrails at Bible HQ?

Also, what format is Lil Nas X?
