I thought SoundScan info would be available today? Guess no one's working. Bill Werde tweeted that they'll be out tomorrow morning at 9am EST. Last week, they said the BB200 Top 10 would be out today. I keep checking Twitter! lol

Yah, the charts will be posted Friday, but SoundSan info usually precedes Billboard's posting of the charts by a day.

Justin Bieber has announced his retirement on Twitter. Is there a just kidding coming in the future? I hope so.

Another amazing week for Beyoncé. The surprise album gimmick is doing wonders for her.

Beyonce On Course for Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart • News By Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles | December 28, 2013 12:43 PM EST • Beyonce is on course to score her longest-running No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Based on sales forecasts from industry sources, her new self-titled set should stay put atop next week's Billboard 200 for a third consecutive week. Sources suggest the album could sell upwards of 250,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Dec. 29. This past week, it spent its second frame at No. 1, moving 617,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. In the album's first 10 days of release, it sold 991,000 copies. If "Beyonce" is No. 1 for a third week, it will mark the diva's longest-reigning chart-topper. While all five of her studio albums have reached No. 1, her longest rule atop the list is two weeks (for both "Beyonce" and "4").
As for the rest of the top 10, expect to see familiar faces like One Direction's "Midnight Memories," Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" and Katy Perry's "PRISM." The three albums are among the many that are experiencing a surge in sales after Christmas. It's traditional to see lots of albums earn increases in the week after Christmas, as consumers redeem newly-acquired gift cards (for digital download stores, especially). Another release that's selling well is Justin Bieber's new collection, "Journals," which bowed on Monday, Dec. 23. The 15-song set contains 10 previously released tunes (made available as part of his weekly Music Mondays series) and five new cuts. The project -- exclusively sold through the iTunes Store -- could sell over 100,000. However, Billboard has been informed that iTunes will not be reporting sales for the set to Nielsen SoundScan, therefore it will not appear on Billboard’s charts. On SoundScan's Building chart (below), Beyonce sits atop the list, while One Direction is at No. 2. The Building tally is a precursor to the final Billboard 200 ranking -- reflecting the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week as reported by six major merchants. As for the rest of the top 10: Eminem and Katy Perry are Nos. 3 and 5, while Garth Brooks' "Blame It All On My Roots" is No. 4. The soundtrack to "Frozen" is No. 6, while two Christmas albums are up next: Kelly Clarkson's "Wrapped In Red" (No. 7) and the Robertsons' "Duck the Halls" (No. 8). It would be surprising to see "Wrapped In Red" or "Duck the Halls" album among the top 10 next week, since this tracking week only has two days of sales pre-Christmas (Dec. 23 and 24). Lorde's "Pure Heroine" (No. 9) and Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" (No. 10) round out the top 10. Nielsen SoundScan Building Chart Rank Last Week, BB 200 Artist Title 1 1 Beyonce "Beyonce" 2 3 One Direction "Midnight Memories" 3 6 Eminem "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" 4 2 Garth Brooks "Blame It All On My Roots" 5 7 Katy Perry "PRISM" 6 8 Soundtrack "Frozen" 7 5 Kelly Clarkson "Wrapped In Red" 8 4 The Robertsons "Duck the Halls" 9 11 Lorde "Pure Heroine" 10 17 Miley Cyrus "Bangerz" The Building Chart reflects the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (which ends Sunday) as reported by six major merchants: iTunes, Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Starbucks, Target and Anderson Merchandisers. Billboard estimates that they make up about 85% of all U.S. album sales.

To emphasize a point in the article. Don't get too excited seeing Kelly Clarkson & Duck Dynasty in the top 10. These two will drop out since the remainder of the tracking week comes AFTER Christmas

Sales of Bieber's album will not be reported to SoundScan? Yet another nontraditional move from a big-name act.

Frozen looks to match or exceed Aladdin's #6 peak on the top 200.
It'll be one of only four Disney animated soundtracks to hit the top 5.

The decision not to report likely had something to do with the nature of the project rather than benig #1. If it had been #1, it would not have been the first time the best selling album in the country was not #1 (so there is a precedent)

It's not like Bieber's release is an album of mostly never-released material; it serves more as a compilation, so why not report the sales? Maybe because he's "retiring" and doesn't car about such things.

Nope. A Garth Brooks Walmart exclusive has that honor
