Macman thanks for the info, I hope you're right. I'd read a few years ago that Amazon's sales and others (I forget which) aren't counted by Soundscan. Since Amazon is such a major player in sales it's only fair that their sales should count for the Billboard Charts.
Some retailers used to be left out of "counts" that Billboard used.
Overall the Billboard album charts are more fair for all types of music
than they used to be.
