Sting2:

People in the Velvet Rope forum are claiming that SoundScan data *is* available in Billboard magazine. Is this true? I have NEVER seen actual SoundScan data in Billboard's magazine, but then, I haven't examined it closely for some time. Since you peruse this magazine more closely than I do, have you ever noticed actual sales numbers in the weekly magazine? If so, perhaps we can rely on this for future updates.

Thanks!
 
Geoff Mayfield who writes a weekly column in Billboard every week on the Billboard 200 chart will usually list about 5 or 6 soundscan numbers, mainly having to do with the top 10. I look through last weeks magazine to make sure, but I have yet to ever see a complete list of soundscan figures in billboard ever in the nearly 11 years since billboard has been using soundscan data.
I don't see why they do not post it though, they should. I was thinking that instead of asking velvet rope to post all the data from Soundscan, if they would just at least post the info for ATYCLB. Its just posting a single figure.
