[情報] Billboard將改變Top 200榜單制度
http://0rz.tw/bwFjS
(11-11-2009) Effective with the 2010 chart year, which commences with the
issue dated Dec. 5, 2009, the Billboard 200 will shift from a currents-based
ranking of the United States' top selling albums to an all-inclusive list of
the top 200-selling albums in the country, regardless of release date.
比爾伯要在2010年改制他們的榜單啦 他們會在top200包含所有正在賣的專輯
而不會考慮發行日期
In essence, the Billboard 200 will reflect the Nielsen SoundScan sales data
that has populated the Top Comprehensive Albums chart, which has appeared in
the magazine periodically this year and has resided in the billboard.biz
chart menu the past three years. Replacing the Top Comprehensive Albums chart
online will be Top Current Albums, which will utilize the current/catalog
criteria that has fueled the Billboard 200 in recent years. That rule, in
place since 1991, stipulates that an album that ranks below No. 100 on the
chart, is more than 18 months old, and does not have a current charting
single at radio, would be removed from the Billboard 200 and other
corresponding album charts on which it has appeared. While the catalog rule
will no longer apply to the Billboard 200, it will remain in effect on all
other current-based album charts.
所以比爾伯top 200榜單將會反映尼爾森銷量 91年後比爾伯認為 前一百名的專輯
若專輯發行超過18個月 且你這張專輯若沒有單曲在榜單內 會被移除200的榜單
但這項規則將改變
"The events of 2009 and the continuing creativity in the repackaging of
catalog titles have led us to the conclude that the Billboard 200 would be
best served presenting the true best-sellers in the country, without any
catalog-related rules or stipulations, to our readers, the media and music
fans," says Silvio Pietroluongo, Billboard's director of charts. "The ability
of consumers to impulsively purchase new or catalog titles electronically has
changed music sales behavior. There is a more immediate cause and effect
between artist exposure and album sales in this day and age, and the
Billboard 200 should reflect this activity, regardless of an album's release
date."
因為09年發生的事情 還有太多老歌重新發行造成的影響 導致比爾伯無法反映真實銷量
所以比爾伯伯終於決定取消 要進榜單專輯要18個月內的規定
If last week’s Billboard 200 were based on overall sales, 11 of the top 100
titles, and 35 titles on the entire chart, would be considered catalog.
To understand the changed rules, think back to the awkward chart situation
that followed Michael Jackson’s death this past summer. Sales of his work
immediately skyrocketed, and for six non-consecutive weeks, his greatest-hits
set Number Ones was the best-selling album in the U.S. Yet since it was more
than 18 months old, Number Ones‘ sales weren’t counted for the Billboard
200. It was instead relegated to lesser-seen charts like Top Comprehensive
Albums and Top Pop Catalog Albums, while lower-selling new releases like
Sugarland’s Live on the Inside topped the the Billboard 200. A similar fate
befell the Beatles’ reissued albums, several of which would have qualified
for Top 10 spots on the Billboard 200 this fall if they weren’t so old.
如果上個禮拜比爾伯200榜單是照總銷量的話11張進前100名的專輯都是舊專輯
你想了解為何要改的話 看看MJ去世後造成的詭異現像 他的作品瞬間狂銷
而他的精選Number one在美國是有6個禮拜的第一 但因發行超過18個月了
所以沒有進入Top 200的榜單 反而是其他賣的較差的新專輯登上榜單第一
類似的情況也發生在披頭四重新發行的專輯 有幾張都應該算入前十名
如果不考慮發行時間
Prior to Jackson’s death, no catalog album had outsold the Billboard 200’s
No. 1 in the publication’s history. So this is just a matter of keeping up
with the times. “What we’ve seen in the past couple years — and not just
with Michael Jackson — is a lot of albums reissued with new content,”
Billboard director of charts Silvio Pietroluongo tells the Music Mix, citing
successful reissue campaigns for Pearl Jam’s Ten and Jackson’s Thriller. “
I think what we’ll see in the future is more labels trying to mine their
catalog in creative ways. The Billboard 200 needs to show the sales activity
of those titles, and also any older titles that receive a spike due to any
other exposure, [such as] an artist appearing on American Idol.”
在MJ去世之前 在歷史上從未發生過任何舊專輯賣的比新專輯好的情形
所以比爾伯的改變 是要跟上潮流 我們這幾年看到的 不只是MJ
而是很多舊專輯會重新包裝重發 而且很成功 像是珍珠果醬的ten
還有MJ的顫慄 未來唱片公司會有舊酒裝新瓶的各種創意重發舊專輯
而比爾伯伯需要真實反映銷售量
而且像是American Idol唱舊歌 也會影響舊專輯突然銷量暴增

看來老大又創了一個紀錄 比爾伯那個規定真的很莫名其妙.............
