Our reply to @billboard's lame defense re: counting free streams on its charts: https://t.co/scLGhiXTrW http://pic.twitter.com/HAjEdtyQYx

Although other publications announced Lana Del Rey having the #1 album on the Billboard 200 with 'Lust for Life'", Billboard has not reported on it or released the charts.
The stories information came from leaked chart data showing Lana out-edged the #2 album, Flower Boy by only a few thousand.
As previously reported, Tidal was streaming Meek Mill's album for free in front of a pay-wall with no account needed, making it easier for bots to stream the album. These streams receive no revenue. Billboard had agreed to count them towards the chart although lower-level staff are outraged by the response and apathy from the top.
The Billboard 200 charts normally release and announce a top 10 on Sunday and announce the top 10 for the Billboard Hot 100 charts on Monday. They have not released either. The last time this happened, Lana Del Rey's song "High By The Beach" debuted on the Hot 100 at #7, but Billboard revised the charts to #51 after it found out the data was wrong.
Billboard sent this message on the delay of it's Country Weekly Bulletin:
The release of this week’s Billboard’s non-airplay charts, including Hot Country Songs and Top Country Albums, is delayed due to data issues...
So what is going on at Billboard? Did Tidal have a bunch of streams they "forgot" to report after the information was leaked? Are they doing a change in rules? No one knows...
nah, unfortunately, but we should be back next week! The #Hot100 story will be coming later, of course. can't skip that :)
