Does any one know if downloaded albums count towards an albums postion in the Billboard charts or is it strictly
sales from shops.

[Genesis]

Units shipped to shops.

Digital sales do count.

isnt that just for single?

Would be interesting to know how many albums they have sold online

If someone downloads the whole album on iTunes or another legal, official digital source it gets counted on Soundscan.  And they do have a digital albums chart on Billboard too, not just a digital singles chart

I only wish (listen I'm happy cause I have it so don't get me wrong) other people could get to appreciate the album and give it a shot..  It's definetly better then the numbers show..   I think there are some really excellent tunes,scott's voice sounds great,album is better mixed then CB, and when slash shines he does it well.. Very solid album..

I think touring will help with sales....
