However, shipments are still sales to the record company because retailers have to buy the product from the record company
And to blilbord they are not sales because if they were, they would put it as the sales chart?
a bit confusing.
Good to know Billbord makes mistakes.
It says shipped not sold. Isnt there is a difference? Shipped is how many albums sent out, sold is how many albums people bought, no?
Yeah, there is a difference... but the figures are still wrong. The Cheetah Girls haven't shipped 61,000,000 CDs.
Maybe the cheetah girls have been indeed shipped for many times but all drowned at sea.
The ships carrying the millions of cheater girls got either wrecked in tropical storms or captured by pirates. Now they are floating around the seven seas. That's why the figures. That's why they haven't reached Izzy yet.
