Question regarding Glory!

[PraiseQueenBrit]

Can anyone with knowledge of the charts tell me if pre-ordering the vinyl right now would count for the album's debut week!?!?

Shipments are sent out in November so I'd prefer if people would preserve their coins for something that can help debut week instead!

Effective Feb. 1, RIAA will include on-demand audio and video streams and a track sale equivalent in Gold & Platinum (G&P’s) Album Award.  The modernization of the program’s album rule follows a similar update made to digital single certifications in 2013, when the RIAA first added on-demand streams to its Digital Single Award.  Collectively, this now means that the program’s iconic benchmarks – 500,000 (Gold), 1,000,000 (Platinum) and 2,000,000 plus (multi-Platinum) – will count both sales and streams for single and album certifications.

“For nearly six decades, whether it’s vinyl, CDs, downloads or now streams, the Gold & Platinum Program has adapted to recognize the benchmarks of success in an evolving music marketplace,” said Cary Sherman, Chairman and CEO, RIAA.  “We know that music listening – for both for albums and songs – is skyrocketing, yet that trend has not been reflected in our album certifications.  Modernizing our Album Award to include music streaming is the next logical step in the continued evolution of Gold & Platinum Awards, and doing so enables RIAA to fully reward the success of artists’ albums today.”

It's a long article, but they mentioned vinyls.

yeah but...

1) Billboard charts work differently, RIAA does certifications

2) Mentions nothing about vinyl shipments and purchasing in regards to the sales week

They don't ship it in the release week so I guess there's a big chance it doesn't count for the first week.

yeah but if it's purchased before the release week I was guessing it would be fine

I think a lot of fans have forgotten that it doesn't arrive the release week, but like 3-4 months leater lol

My bad, you are right

They have their separate chart on Billboard, so maybe they don't count after all...

I hate how confusing it is lol

[itsjosiebitch]

just by the vinyl if you want to; i bought mine already because i've always wanted a Britney Spears vinyl and plus i get to have my name on it.

Also- if it sells good then she might release her other records on vinyl and i really want that to happen
