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. 比尔伯要在2010年改制他们的榜单啦 他们会在top200包含所有正在卖的专辑 而不会考虑发行日期 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. 所以比尔伯top 200榜单将会反映尼尔森销量 91年後比尔伯认为 前一百名的专辑 若专辑发行超过18个月 且你这张专辑若没有单曲在榜单内 会被移除200的榜单 但这项规则将改变 "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." 因为09年发生的事情 还有太多老歌重新发行造成的影响 导致比尔伯无法反映真实销量 所以比尔伯伯终於决定取消 要进榜单专辑要18个月内的规定 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. 如果上个礼拜比尔伯200榜单是照总销量的话11张进前100名的专辑都是旧专辑 你想了解为何要改的话 看看MJ去世後造成的诡异现像 他的作品瞬间狂销 而他的精选Number one在美国是有6个礼拜的第一 但因发行超过18个月了 所以没有进入Top 200的榜单 反而是其他卖的较差的新专辑登上榜单第一 类似的情况也发生在披头四重新发行的专辑 有几张都应该算入前十名 如果不考虑发行时间 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 在历史上从未发生过任何旧专辑卖的比新专辑好的情形 所以比尔伯的改变 是要跟上潮流 我们这几年看到的 不只是MJ 而是很多旧专辑会重新包装重发 而且很成功 像是珍珠果酱的ten 还有MJ的颤栗 未来唱片公司会有旧酒装新瓶的各种创意重发旧专辑 而比尔伯伯需要真实反映销售量 而且像是American Idol唱旧歌 也会影响旧专辑突然销量暴增 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 看来老大又创了一个纪录 比尔伯那个规定真的很莫名其妙............. --
