...by marketing the new releases as 3 separate albums, each album will count as an individual sale. E.g., 1 purchased copy will not count as 1 scan, nor will it count as 3 scans-rather, it will count as 1 scan for Lotus, 1 scan for MPLS, and 1 scan for Elix. If Lotus debuts at #1, then all 3 debut at #1...

genius much?

The lady at Target only scanned it once.

Wasn't that covered during Emancipation days where the numbers seemed inflated as to how many shipped, because each disk counts as one album? Meaning, almost a million DISKS were shipped, which - divided by 3, means, just over a mere 300,000 were shipped.

... Emancipation was the same album, 3 discs. This release is 3 different albums, 3 discs. If Lotus sells 10 copies, then MPLS has to be counted as 10 separate copies- after all, they are separate albums

one barcode will mean one sale i think

This will be solved when the numbers come out.

...how can you not believe me, of all people?

For all 3, each.

It will count as a SINGLE sale for charting but may count as TRIPLE for certification.

you guys can't just make this up according to what sounds good to you.
