What if they sold the cover for $10 but then if you add a digital album you get a $3.49 discount which is the minimum cost of an album to be eligible to chart, so then you'd be getting the album for free and it'd essentially be a bundle but following billboard rules

If it doesn't get past Joanne, especially in the streaming era, then that is really bad

Shouldn't it be the other way round? Buy the album and get $3.49 off the cover?

The best way to boost Chromatica is basically releasing new music. The way it would boost it well on Spotify

Yeah in streaming era its all about singles racking units, and sadly last one we had was 6 months ago

But why would people buy the album again if they are buying the vinyl cover / vinyl. Wouldn't that mean they already have it. I meant it as like a bundle in a sense but following billboard rules. People want to buy a vinyl cover so if they sold that, then offer a $3.50 discount if you buy the digital album with the vinyl cover then it'd essentially be a bundle while following billboard rules.

They could literally release like 3-4 remixes and it'd get boosted up like 20-30 spots

To get the discount for the cover.

Then you will be charging -$3.50 for the album, the opposite of what is needed to count as an album sale?

She doesn't want to release even the songs on the album, imagine a new music.

The way we're 90 spots below ANTI is iconic if you ask me

Just need some promo to stabilise.

No so for example if the vinyl cover was $10. When you add it to the cart, you get offered a $3.50 discount. With that $3.50 discount you are offered the digital album which is $3.49. $3.49 is the minimum amount of money to charge for an album to be eligible to chart on billboard. So basically you are still paying the same amount of money but getting a free album

I feel like ANTI has benefited enormously of being Rihanna's most recent project for 5 years already
