I would love to see a
breakdown each week of how many points (streaming, sales)
each song on an album earned weekly to see how much the
whole album or a just few of its songs are contributing
to the album's chart position. After Adele's album bomb
clears the Hot 100 in the next 1-2 weeks, the only songs
likely left behind will be its current singles, "Easy On
Me" and "Oh My God." Should the success of just those
two songs make the entire "30" seem like a chart success? |

Thanks, radiofan16. Week 2 shows how few of the "30" songs
are still keeping the album atop the Billboard 200 due to
streaming. (At least this album is selling, although it is
depressing that this is the first album to sell more than
one million copies in over a year!) With all the Christmas
albums bounding up the chart, how many of those I wonder
are being supercharged by just one track? For example, is
anyone listening to anything other than "Rockin' Around The
Christmas Tree" on Brenda Lee's Christmas albums or "The
Christmas Song" on Nat King Cole's?

year as a stocking stuffer. |

According to current standards a Gold Record is awarded for
sales of either 500,000 copies of a single or album.
So I guess the term "Million Seller" nolonger applies.
