[BTS CONTENT] *Ah shit here we go again* ARMY, get ready for Billboard new rule changes coming Jan 16 2024

good...they should discourage bulk buying...better for the environment and curbs reckless spending for charting.

I don’t see much change.

That'll impact T-Swift fans and kpop fans, mostly. The only change I really see is the bulk buy. I know on Twitter, some ARMY have pushed for years to avoid relying on single-buyer bulk purchases and instead encourage friends and family to buy (I just made us sound like a MLM scheme 🤣).

I honestly think this is aimed more at T-Swift.

nah, it's more aimed at kpop fandoms and the lengths they go to to boost album sales like using multiple credit cards, shipping to a friend's house, etc. to bypass the 4 copy limit.

The reason I think it's T-Swift is because the US record industry is having a fit about her charting re-recorded albums and they're trying to lobby against anyone else being able to do it. Limiting bulk buying, which her fans also do, seems like it could be a way to target her.
