Lidt info om køb af flere albums på en gang.
- Kort sagt skal man IKKE købe mere end et album ad gangen, ellers bliver de ikke talt til charten.
Så hvis du køber 5 albums, så gør det forskellige steder, eller af 5 forskellige omgange - ikke på samme bon/kvittering.
This is how the chart rules here in the UK. It might be different where you live, so it's worth checking.
Quote:
* If you personally buy multiple copies of the same album at the same time (all in one transaction and therefore all on one receipt) they won't count. I'm not sure what the threshold is, so these are just examples (for example It might be ok to buy 2 copies of an album at the same time, BUT PLEASE CHECK)
* If 20 fans go to the same store, form a queue and each buy one album one-by-one, the sales WILL COUNT toward the chart.
* If 20 fans go to the same store and one fan buys all the other fans one album each (i.e. 20 albums) on their own card, the sales WON'T COUNT toward the chart.
* If 20 fans go to the same store and each buy 5 albums on their own cards, none of them WON'T COUNT toward the chart.
* If 20 fans go to 5 different stores, buying one copy in each store, all sales WILL COUNT.

"1.0 Genuine Sales
1.1
All sales information used to compile the Chart must be recorded as a result of a genuine purchase by a genuine consumer.
No record company, distributor, retailer, Artist or other party should act or encourage others to act in any way designed to distort, or which has the effect of distorting the Chart by achieving a higher or lower Chart position for a record than it would otherwise achieve.
Actions which will be considered a breach of these rules include:
a) promoting the sale of any album by supplying a dealer with records by another artist free of charge or upon terms more favourable than would be the case but for that promotion;
purchasing albums or causing albums to be purchased other than as a genuine consumer purchase;
c) multiple purchases of albums on behalf of other persons,
d) interference with the operation of sales recording machines or other equipment or computer software used to compile the Charts or collect or collate its information or in any other way being a party to the submission of false or inaccurate data to the Chart compiler;
e) offering money or other benefits to a dealer contingent upon an album entering any of the Charts or attaining a minimum chart position;
f) procuring the sale of an album in conjunction with a non-related or excessive gift, ie which gives the consumer a product, voucher or benefit or anything else which is either unrelated to the album concerned or of a value in excess of the value of the record without that gift (value means normal retail price), where it is not an album and merchandise package as outlined in section 8.0.
g) any other activity intended unfairly to influence Chart positions.
- Where the Official Charts Company has reason to believe that an album is the subject of any of the above types of activity, it will, at its discretion, either remove identifiable irregular sales transactions from the data used to compile the Chart, or exclude the record from the Chart with immediate effect.
- The Official Charts Company´s nominated chart compiler will ensure the accuracy and completeness of any sales information provided to it by a retail outlet in the sample to the extent it is possible to do so using Good Industry Practice. Where the nominated chart compiler has reason to believe that the inclusion of sales from a retail outlet or a number of retail outlets maybe inaccurate, misleading or incomplete and run contrary to the guidelines expected by a skilled and experienced market research firm, then the store(s) in question will be excluded from the sample to avoid potential distortion.
- If an album is excluded from the Chart, the Official Charts Company will inform the record company, distributor, ERA and the BPI in writing on the first working day after the exclusion takes effect. If unusual or irregular sales transactions cause the Official Charts Company to remove data from the Chart sample, the Official Charts Company will inform the Secretariat of the BPI and/or ERA, as appropriate, on the first working day after the data is removed.

The point is: Buy your copies at different times. Maybe go buy one at Wal-Mart, order another from Amazon, buy another from Best Buy, go into HMV and buy another one, or just come back to one of these stores another day and buy it.
Don't buy multiple albums at the same time because they will be discounted from chart statistics and therefore won't count...
Discounting sales due to bulk buying is a an attempt to prevent chart corruption. If many albums are discounted by the charts company due to bulk buying, that can reduce the chart position of the album, particularly where there is close competition between artists. In an extreme scenario, Artist A could sell way more copies of an album than Artist B, but because of chart rules (sales discounted because of bulk buying), Artist B could have the No.1 album in that country, not Artist A.
