Billboard Pricing Policy, Effective November 21, 2011

November 15, 2011
By Billboard staff

Unit sales for Albums priced below $3.49 during their first four weeks of release will not be eligible for inclusion on the Billboard album charts and will not count towards sales data presented by Nielsen SoundScan.

*The rule also applies to reissued titles.

*New Holiday/Seasonal titles must meet the minimum threshold through the final week of the calendar year.

*Unit sales for albums or EPs with 8 or less tracks will not be eligible for charting if the retail price is less than the sum of the tracks on the release, multiplied by $0.39.

*Minimum pricing for a multi-disc album (not a single disc with extra tracks), where the extra disc is audio content, will be $3.49 times the amount of discs being made available.

*For digital-only deluxe editions, any extra content exceeding nine tracks would be considered the equivalent of an extra disc. Each additional 10 tracks thereafter would be the equivalent of an additional disc.

Unit sales for Digital Tracks priced below $0.39 during their first three months of release will not be eligible for inclusion on Billboard's digital songs charts.

If a retailer offering a title for less than the above stated prices is a daily reporter to Nielsen SoundScan, units will be removed for charting purposes solely for the dates in which the title was priced less than the minimum.

*If a title was priced under the minimum during a portion of the day, all sales for that title on that day will not count towards the Billboard charts unless accurate transaction data for that title during the specific sales hours can be provided to Nielsen SoundScan for verification.

If a retailer offering a title for less than the above stated prices is a weekly reporter to Nielsen SoundScan, all units for that title sold by the retailer in the week will be removed for charting purposes unless accurate transaction data for that title on the sale date(s) can be provided to Nielsen SoundScan for verification .

Please note that the minimum pricing rule would not apply to any store-wide music liquidation sales.

                                                                                                                                                                   

Cheaters never prosper.

Billboard Defends Controversy

On May 26, 2011, Billboard wrote an article titled “Editor’s Note: Why Billboard Isn’t Revising Chart Policies for Lady Gaga’s Amazon Deal.” In the article, author Bill Werde tried to deflect the controversy on Britney Spears fans. However, many in the industry accused Billboard of siding with record company executives rather than representing the music buying public.

The very next week, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way took a historic drop of 84 percent in sales. It wasn’t seen as a coincidence that the album fell after the 99 cent discount ended. Despite heavy promotion, Born This Way continued to drop in sales and is now out of the top 40. Billboard became silent about the controversy, until this week.

More Shit From Gaga's Workshop

More cheap, made in China crap from Stefani's workshop.  

$65 magnetic Gaga dress up set.

$18 Gaga acrylic rings - um, why? would? you? wear? this?

$25 candy bow sucker, made especially for the suckers that will buy this garbage.

Is it bad...

that I want Kim Kardashian to get hit by a speeding train and die?

Poll Results

So the poll results are in and Lady Gaga is worse than Casey Anthony.  Who would've thought the day would come when a pop star is worse than a baby killer. 

Trailing behind Casey Anthony is Kim Kardashian.

Happy Monday everyone!

More "Homage"?

So here we have Stefani performing Marry The Night on UK X Factor wearing some kind of headless Gaga outfit that I have no idea what the message is; and two clips of Madonna's performances of Like A Prayer and Live To Tell from the Monster Ball HBO Special Truth or Dare.

Thoughts?

Here we have Stefani opening her performance in a Catholic confessional ala Madonna ish, sporting the whole Catholic schtick just like Madonna, again.

Can someone explain this costume to me?

Little Monsters Cry at Bullying and are Bullies Themselves

This article is a post from The Daily Mail UK.   I find it interesting that all these annoying little monsters cry and stomp their feet when one of their own commits suicide due to bullying.  They even start their own online project called Paws Up Forever; but have absolutely no shame or restraint when it comes to their Queen Bitch.  If the little hypocrites monsters feel even the slightest bit threatened that Stefani is going downhill and losing popularity, which she is, they turn to the very tactic that Stefani preaches against.

Lady Gaga's fans have taken to social networking sites to attack soul singer Adele.The two women are up for the most coveted award in the music industry - to become the bestselling artist in the world.But seems the Londoner has overtaken the American pop singer and has officially sold one in 10 records this year.

Cruel jibes: Fans of Lady Gaga, right, have made horrible remarks about soul singer Adele, left

Lady Gaga's supporters, known as 'little monsters' now seem to be living up to their name by making catty jibes about Adele's weight.  It seems they are also intimidated by British singer's star power and are worried she might get more awards than the Born This Way singer.

Comfortable: Adele has previously said she happy with the way she looks

Twitter is filled with crude jokes, one of the most popular being: 'Confirmed: Gaga will not be wearing her meat dress because she is afraid Adele will eat it.'

Mock up videos of Adele have also been made with a fake singer belting out 'I'm bootyful in my own way because Arby's (an American restaurant) makes nooo mistakes, I've got the right order, baby, I was born this weight.'

The bullying intensified after Adele was forced to cancel some recent concerts after having an operation on her vocal chords.

Lady Gaga's fans used the opportunity to say the Make You Feel My Love singer could not sell enough tickets so had to cancel instead. Both women usually sing to sell-out audiences.  An executive at Lady Gaga's record label said: 'Lady Gaga does not approve of bullying anyone for their physical appearance, it goes against everything she stands for. A tiny handful of fans may be letting her down.'

Adele's album 21 is still in America's top five after 37 weeks on the billboard chart. More than 10million copies of the album have been sold worldwide.
 

Lady Gaga's album Born This Way has slipped out of the Top 40, only after 24 weeks. A spokesman for Adele declined to comment.

One of the jokes going around involved Adele eating Lady Gaga's meat dress.

Buzz Around Gaga News - She Fired Laurieann Gibson

If you don't know, Laurieann Gibson is Stefani's choreographer.  She responsible for a lot of Stefani's career and image.  Rumor has it that last week, Stefani and Laurieann had a very heated argument and it ended with Laurieann telling Stefani she was suing and hanging up on her.  

The rumor mill is also saying that this, in whole or somewhat, has to do with Gibson's comment to the LA Times (from MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO).  What comment?  This one. 

"Listen, [Madonna] should be bitter because I [made Lady Gaga in her image] on purpose and you can quote me. I did it on purpose because for all those kids who believe that you can’t, I wanted to let them feel that you can."

Can what, Laurieann?  Copy? Steal? Plagiarize so they can become famous?

Apparently Gaga doesn't want to be compared to Madonna and wants to stand on her own two feet.  Well, Stefani, if any of this is true, you can point fingers toward Gibson all you want and shoulder all the blame on her but anyone with half a brain knows that you should've fucking known about everything Madonna has done career wise.  Since you claim to have studied "The Fame", pop culture and mastered it, Madonna would've fallen heavily into this category.  From the minute, no, the second you started to see similarities between your career and Madonna's, the brakes should've been hit.  What do you do?  You keep going and going and going, just like the energizer bunny and when Gibson is no longer of any use to you, you fire her and claim ignorance.  Just like you claimed ignorance when you released Born This Way and the whole damn world said Express Yourself. 

Screw you Gaga.  Tick Tock
