Just wondering could somebody give me an Official answer to this question, I've always wondered about this...

 

Do Box Sets of Albums count as a seperate Entity or do they could to each album individually.

 

For example..This year there was a box set off all Pink's albums I am unaware of it's sales but if it sold 125,000 copies....does this count towards the YTD sales of 'Funhouse' or not :unsure:

 

Thanks

They are separate.

 

We've had a few box sets charting this year;

 

P!nk

Kings Of Leon

The Beatles

Michael Jackson

a couple others I think

Thanks...

 

 

I think They Should Be Counted Though :unsure:

What are the rules regarding these in terms of price, no of albums in set?

 

Curious as Shakin' Stevens has a 10 CD set coming out in a couple of weeks time (though it hasn't a hope in hell of charting!)

The Beatles had a stereo box set that cost like £210 for like 21 albums I think and that charted at #24.

 

Those aren't exact figures, but it's something like that

The official price of the Beatles stereo boxed set was £180 although it was available for less than that. There is a case for saying that sales should be added to those of the individual albums (at least as far as all-time sales are concerned) but that's not how it works at the moment.
