[Keelzit]

Is there a reason aka 90% discount for 21 Pilots' double top 10 slayage?

1989 is nowhere to be found.

Is this fake?

[areyoureadytojump]

Lots of chart upheaval this week!!

Rap does well due to gift cards.

Vessel only peaked at #48 so it's a shock to see it in the Top 10.

A few Catalog album re-enter.

While there are some surprises, the Top 10 is fairly consistent with that reported by Buzz Angle.

There are definitely some potential issues, though. Buzz Angle has Taylor Swift in the Top 10, and Selena + G-Eazy in the Top 20.  Hits doesn't have the former two in its Top 50, and it has the G-Eazy album at the bottom.

Yes, top 10 right off the bat in the new year! Expect to see this around for a while. Wavey✨️

[DJ General]

Expected higher for Adele

[BlueSwan]

Almost 300k is still extremely strong for Adele. Still wayyyy above anything approaching "normal" sales levels.

[Enigma.]

Vessel top ten? WOWOWOWOWWOWOWOWOW

[areyoureadytojump]

I just posted the BB200 article. These figures are all off.

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are Top 10 on Billboard.

Wow! New peak!

Amazing numbers once again for Adele! Will this be the best selling album of the year two years in a row? Probably.

[kanimal]

So bizarre. Hits amended the chart to include Taylor, but it's still way off. Selena still absent, Pentatonix and G-Eazy still too low, etc.

And they actually wrote a story about the different positions, so they're standing behind most of these numbers.

ETA:  They continue to make revisions, despite the chart being labeled "final" for the past two days.  It's finally getting closer to Billboard.


I have my suspicions about what's causing the issue, but I think the ultimate takeaway is that we really need to wait for Billboard at this point.  Hits just isn't cutting it as a definitive sales source.
