Its hard to say. On Prince's massively successful tour in 2004, every ticket holder received a copy of his latest album on the way out of the venue. That's how he was able to stay in the Top 10 with that album for so long.
With Lindsey, its a little more difficult, as you needed to buy at least two tickets for the album, and some of the shows took place before the album was out.
Sounds like a great question for Billboard's nerd-in-residence Fred Bronson -
