The impact of the change in Billboard chart calculations is clearly noticeable and quantifiable. Here are five ways in which the impact is most obvious.
all did so thanks to the long-awaited shipping of their physical copies, months after the LPs' digital release, while Luke Combs'now lay claim to three of the four biggest weeks for vinyl sales since 1991, topped by the 102,000 records sold by was also helped greatly by Swift-signed CDs, available on her website for a limited period, which also shipped the same week.)
While this rule change has likely dampened first-week performance for star artists like Swift and Rodrigo, who still sell a strong number of physical copies, it also has allowed them to extend their runs at No. 1 -- with the artists now able to position their shipping weeks strategically to best ensure their returns to the top spot months after the album's initial release, giving the albums extra relevance later in their promotional cycles.
In fact, only two albums total in the past year have hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 without sending at least one song from the set to the Hot 100's top 40: AC/DC's . It's indicative of how without ticket and merch bundles, the Billboard 200 is more closely tied to contemporary hit songs than ever before.5. Not many rock artists at No. 1 -- but plenty in the top 10
While top rock acts remain a top live draw in the music industry, their relevance as contemporary hitmakers has also largely dulled in recent years, and few of them perform as well as top pop or hip-hop acts on streaming services. Ticket bundles were a great way for legacy artists like Bon Jovi and Dave Matthews Band to regularly compete for the chart's top spot, since their ticket sales remained robust even as they saw their traditional LP sales decline significantly.
With the elimination of bundles from chart calculations, only one album classified primarily as"Rock" on the Billboard charts -- AC/DC's previously mentioned -- has topped the chart in the past year. While that's the same number as the year prior , it's significantly down from the late '10s, when as recently as 2019, albums by artists like the Raconteurs, Slipknot, Hozier and Vampire Weekend were still topping the Billboard 200 with help from bundles.
