The total for Prince's first Columbia outing will be enhanced by new-fangled venue sales, as the purchase of every ticket on his current tour includes the cost of his new album, which is distributed at his shows. Since there is a value ascribed to those CDs, Nielsen SoundScan will count those copies in its tallies.

To remain consistent with other pre-street sales windows—including direct-to-consumer sales or albums that are sold in Christian outlets before they move to mainstream accounts—The Billboard 200 will only count CDs from shows that happened on or after the street date for Prince's "Musicology."

The cycle for venue sales is Thursday through Wednesday because of the extra steps required to verify that data, so the only show from the tracking week that will count toward Prince's opening week will be the April 21 show at Colonial Center in Columbia, S.C. Capacity for that venue is 17,500, so that is the maximum contribution that concert-distributed CDs will yield in the first week. Got it?

My question is will soundscan continue to tally albums from concert sales until concert end?
