[Arrinef]

interesting read, i hope it does good.
Who knew all these soundscan, billboard procedures were so thorough

Good. I don't think it should count either, to be honest.

Yeah because it is kinda cheap and cheating. "Oh, these people get it for free so let's count that as album sales" fuckin' stupid lol.

[Francesco]

Fair enough...

[Kill You]

^^^^ Exactly what he said.

That is SUCH a cheap way to gain sales, wow. Sell your album for a fucking dollar. "Sure, it's only a dollar, why not?" Smh

[Trimss]

Lady Gaga sales didn't count I think. If you sell your album cheaper than 5 dollars, or something, they don't count.

They weren't counted?

Didn't she/he go platinum first week, did she/he?

She did actually, maybe the law came after that I don't know. A lot of people considered it as a chart fraud though.

That's how it really should be.

Man, I really wish artists would stop worrying about sales and just do what they want...don't necessarily take after the music, but I do wish that people would take a page out of the Yeezus book and just make music. I have a feeling that's what Em is doing right now in the lab.

[Trimss]

Yeah, they probably did. I just remember it caused a lot of controversy.

[Kill You]

Hopefully the album doesnt suck like his past few.
