This s**t doesn't even resemble a real popularity chart anymore. A total f**king joke. Which part: 1) Bundling; 2) Individual track sales/streams that are added to the release total even though they sometimes happened months before release (but the tracks from a full physical album don't get allocated to count on the H100); 3) Remix tracks (e.g., Bad Blood) count in an album's sales total even though it was't attached to the album at any point - not even a re-release; 4) A single overwhelming popular selling/streaming track ends up keeps an other ignored album artificially high on the charts? All 4. The chart methodology was very flawed, and the popularization of bundles (especially merch bundles) have made it completely useless and unreliable.
