The Soundscan numbers come out every week on Wednesday like clockwork. I'm on the site NOW. Where did YOUR numbers come from?

Dude. What FORUMS? Soundscan has a WEBSITE. Which you have to have ACCESS to. (which i do, working for a music company)

Care to wager who's going to have to issue an apology on here about the inaccurate chart numbers? Name your bet.

ButterscotchPimp said:

MY NUMBERS WHICH ARE FROM YESTERDAY CAME FROM HITS DAILY DOUBLE WHICH IS A COMPETITOR TO SOUNDSCAN AND USUALLY COMES OUT WITH NUMBERS THE NITE B4 AND MOST TIMES THE NUMBERS DONT VARY BY MORE THEN 1-2K

asg said:

caps lock my brother

maybe hitsdailydouble.com counted online sales at his web site and Soundscan didnt ? the difference is about 20k .

Hits is known to be off from time to time but this seems like alot . The unusal nature of the release may cause discrepancies.

This is not on asq at all . These numbers are reported on Tuesdays at hitsdailydouble.com . Any one of us who may have seen it would have posted it.

but urbans numbers r way off too . It doesnt make sense

asg said:

LOL Hits Daily Double is a trade rag. They're not a "competitor". It's a music industry gossip rag. Soundscan doesn't have a competitor. Every record in the country is counted by Soundscan and Soundscan alone. It's where Billboard, Rolling Stone and every other chart worth it's salt gets it's numbers from. I have access to the numbers now, and i'm telling you that YOURS are WRONG.

asg said:

Yeah something weird is going down . We should know straight from Billboard with in an hour

Keith Urban album tops US charts

i checked my usual sources i think u also use the same sources
pulse
ukmix
and nothing there

I could'nt care less if he got to No.1 or not. What matters to me is the quality of the music not whether he sells more CD's than Keith Urban, Now 3002, Hannah Montana or anybody else for that matter! I have the new music, he has my money. end of transaction. I get no greater enjoyment from it knowing lots of other folk have purchased it as an impulse buy in Target.

newpower99 said:

yeah come to think of it the numbers seem way off even if he didn't make it to number#1

oh well ..its all good.

We dont all need to get all our panties in a bunch just because Lotusflow3r sold 20k less than we intially thought.

Lessoned learn not to trust hitsdailydouble numbers in close races.

these should be posted here

newpower99 said:

Again, Hits is a TRADE RAG. Any numbers they post are GUESSES. There's only ONE way to count album sales and it's SOUNDSCAN. It's where BILLBOARD gets their numbers from.

this is really not so close

i always love a good fight

on a serious tip
why would you nutjobs be so happy about Prince having a #1 album
the man clearly could care less about his fans the way he closes down
fansites and doesn't listen to the fans requests for remastering his past albums
so why the fuck would you want this prick to having any success at all?

move over and pass some of the

catparker said:

because prince only seems to get generous when he is successful. we want him to have success to he'll get happy and release vault material.

this is a guy who refuses to promote a project if it doesn't look like it is selling well.

think about that for a second.

bring some chicken wings over 2!!

I've got the

Move over!

catparker said:

Why the fuck would a nutjob like you post on a fansite for someone you don't wanna see succeed, fan or not? That's even more crazy right there.

1 * URBAN*KEITH DEFYING GRAVITY 171,525 22 779559% 171,547

soundscan never has those weird % in their chart and its capped off at 999%

damn when will billboard update the chart?

Even if Prince was 3121 on the charts he would still make me cream

asg said:

I copied it from an excel version of the chart, and yes it does % out like that.
Again, and i don't want to go back and forth but you can't use HITS numbers. They're GUESSES.
