^Indeed. hehe Plus, nevermind that the albums were not "free."

[Deleted]

"Free with purchase"

[HolidayGuy]

Of which the purchase included the price of the album. I'm glad that some articles have pointed that out.

OK side question since I do not attend Madonna concerts

Were the price of the tickets, on average 10-15 dollars higher than prior concert tours for the same seats?

(Taking into accout regular inflation of course)

Madonna so successful she makes people lose sleep over it.

Its not about madonna i am a big prince fan and when he did a giveaway i considered it a joke and kinda embarrassing

Even if her real sales were bigger i would say the same thing

it is about fairness

next time it will be u2 doing 1 million first week and i will be equally out spoken.

what if she gets injured and has to make a refund

I think they were higher.

Can't believe this is discussion is still going on.

Since such a big deal was made about the price of the tickets, I imagine they're quite a bit more than the last tour. I've no doubt the cost of the album is included with the price though, but people that don't redeem for the album essentially are paying more than they need to. It's rather genius in that aspect. Though for charting purposes, if there's no option to opt out of buying the album (ie, receive a small refund instead of the album), I can understand why some people say it shouldn't count.

[badrobot]

FYI as someone who bought Madonna tickets, I can tell you their emails about redemption included the phrase "at no additional charge."

And I will admit that I was not aware I was getting a copy of the album with the ticket, so I counted as 2 purchases -- but, I wanted the deluxe anyway (only the standard came with the ticket).

[HolidayGuy]

^Yeah, they don't say the cost of the album is included in the ticket price, as business people want consumers to think they're getting something for free. But we know that's not the case.

The performance of The Hunger Games shows that a blockbuster film does not guarantee smashing album sales. And this album has some decent names on it.

Yes, as the concert goers represent Madonna's biggest fans, likely a higher percentage of the 180,000 people who received the album "at no additional charge" purchased another copy anyway

[badrobot]

2 of the friends I bought tickets with did not buy the album separately, but did download a leak/rip.

I think that is probably not uncommon -- basically for them, their ownership of the album went from being an "illegal" download to a legitimate "sale."

[asg4]

2m what did u think when prince did the free giveaway which were also priced into tic purchases. I know most prince fans didnt consider this nothing more then a gimmick and i think billboard has to set in to prevent further erosion of the charts.
I just think most madonna fans could have cared less if she had come in at #1

[Deleted]

It is fun to see the extra exposure for artists that would not have otherwise received it.

This chart is a popularity chart and should accurately measure popularity

As far as who gets #1 and who doesn't, I don't actually care

Hmmm. That is interesting.

As someone who is in PR, the wording of something is very important and I think could change the playing field completely. Saying it's no extra charge almost means it's free (almost in that it could also be made to say that you've already paid for it....I think it's interesting the word free was never used). You'd be surprised with what retailers are and aren't allowed to say when advertising things. If something is free, it doesn't count toward the album chart. I wouldn't be surprised if this got investigated, to be honest.

I think Billboard should rethink about counting albums sold with tickets. It is a smart way but another form of manipulating the charts. Madonna sold poorly with Hard Candy and her tours still sold well. So they went that route since they think her tour will sell well again hence including it in the price of the ticket.

Billboard should have not counted it

Those charts are from arab at UKMix. I always forget to credit him.

I think this could finally pass 12,000,000 million next week. :) Only 4, 103 away.

Like a Virgin back on the overall catalog 200 albums. :) It had been charting on the Catalog Physical Albums chart for several weeks now.
