Chart position - Musicology

Amazon.co.uk are listing musicology as a pre-release - it achieves number 23 on the pre-release listing - not bad but not brilliant either when you look at who is above him in the list - quite a few I have never heard of myself!

All the persons listed are based on pre-orders though which makes it look not so good - THERE ARE SOME TRULY OBSCURE PEOPLE ABOVE THE ALBUM!

relax smile the lists on amazon are screwey

go to amazon,com and you'll see Prince-Musicology is ranked #50 in hot future releases
then you will see at #49 is an American Idol Cd and your like what? PRINCE IS BEHIND THAT IN SALES?

but if you look closer and click on Musicology you will see

Amazon.com Sales Rank: 165

and

click on the american idol cd which is ranked #49 AHEAD of Muicology and you'll see

Amazon.com Sales Rank: 21,869

see? that list is so screwed up that they rank Idol ahead of Prince even tho Musicology is outselling it by over 21,724 slots!

I've always thought the sales rank showed the amount of copies that have been sold. hmm

I am now soooo confused - so do we think that the preorder list has no meaning and if so what does sales rank mean???? nuts

I would have thought that a higher sales rank would've meant higher up on that list.....
