Let’s be real, the entire film industry needs Barbie to be the biggest thing ever so they’re rigging the soundtrack to #1
Why is it delayed?
How much did they filter out?
It may be the bag version? They may be trying to remove those sales so Barbie can get #1

Bag??

This is what I was thinking, it wouldn't be a good look if the soundtrack for the biggest movie event in recent history lost out on the #1 to some rando kpop group. Warner probably cut a few checks or something, a bit worrying how these charts can be easily manipulated by labels
it is true. the billboard would have let it slide if not for barbie.
Bag??
The physical album comes inside it. Like the one they had on their debut.
They obviously want barbie to go #1. They were even having streaming parties.
I don't think Forbes has any tea...only hdd knows what goes on within the industry

There's no tea needed. We know Billboard like to change the rules when they like it.
The way ARMYs were booed but they were right the whole time
I doubt they would've done all this if it was someone who wasn't in kpop
isn't this what they do all the time? Istg every other week I read about bb filtering streams.
That’s actually fucked up…
i was thinking it was sus that billboard delayed this week’s chart

streaming parties, what type of losers do shit like that?
The sabotage is real
Read the article. There's no actual tea here. Why is this making news?
Also, the fact the system is STILL down for the new week's early numbers makes me think something like a software failure is going on. Boring, I know!

Many such cases of people just running their mouths lol
Either outcome brings huge levels of attention to the EP so I’m not too pressed
If they filtered out the bag version then that is honestly sort of annoying because like… people bought the bag for the album, how many albums did they end up moving in the US?
American music industry cannot stand that some other country's music industry is doing this well on their market; its success makes them furious.
They keep changing the rules whenever they see kpop is going to beat their faves on charts. How frustrated they must feel seeing that music sang in language nobody else speaks but koreans is getting more popular by each day

well, there is no need to do it. a lot of big event movie end up having no No.1 soundtrack and no one care. your take is as stupid as it can be. the question is why the sale is different between hdd and bb200.
It could be th bag ver. Are considered bundles but then again fanpacks are a thing now so 🤔
I've heard murmurs this was about versions counting for Barbie and nothing to do with NJ at all. Seeing increased discussion around that possibility. Will be interesting to see if they can manifest 20k sales into being lol. I still think NJ will be #1.
Just saw this
I think it is the fanpack rules that it must be pre-approved which is causing the delay

What is a fanpack?

I think they are debating whether nj's bag version should count as a fanpack🤔
What is a fanpack?
Basically bb used to allow artists to bundle merch along with the physical album as a unit (which counted towards charts),
it was banned in 2020 but reinstated again this summer
there must be some serious negotiations going on rn with hybe to keep the newjeans no.1
we all know charts are shady
But people still put high value on them
Time to stop
So they can investigate NewJeans for their bags but not Travis Scott who is literally bundling sneakers with his newest album?
I mean im sure his shit was checked also but this is a difference between 1/2 travis was hiting 1 with or without sneaker shit and I doubt they count those.
