In consultation with Nielsen SoundScan, Billboard will now allow exclusive album titles that are only available through one retailer to appear on The Billboard 200 and other Billboard charts, effective with this week's charts. Prior to this, proprietary titles were not eligible to appear on most Billboard charts.

Ahhh... I get it. Any title that Wal-mart sold exclusively... THOSE haven't been counted in the past. I misread that. Thanks. |
