The Billboard Top 200 will now include streaming data and track sales. By Steve Knopper | November 20, 2014 Billboard will make a huge change beginning with next week's sales chart, incorporating streaming data and track sales into its formula for determining rankings. So an album like Maroon 5's V, which has been languishing for two weeks at Number 24 might have surged up the charts this week given the massive Spotify streams of recent hits "Maps," "Animals" and "It Was Always You." The change reflects the record industry's transition in recent years – album sales have dropped by 13 percent this year, but streaming services such as Spotify, YouTube, Beats Music and Rhapsody generate more revenue every year. The new charts, to be revealed on December 4th, will more accurately reflect the popularity of an album, Billboard charts editor Silvio Pietroluongo told the New York Times. "We were always limited to the initial impulse, when somebody purchased an album," he said. "Now we have the ability to look at that engagement and gauge the popularity of an album over time." Billboard's new formula will include data from 1,500 Nielsen SoundScan streaming sources in addition to "track equivalent albums," a formula for counting 10 total song downloads as an album sale. The charts should help solve a problem plaguing the record business throughout 2014 and much of 2013 – hit albums by once-reliable hit makers such as Coldplay, Linkin Park and Rick Ross have sold well in their debut weeks, hitting Number One or Number Two on the charts, then plunging in sales and abruptly dropping off. One beneficiary this week might have been Pink Floyd's new The Endless River – which sold 170,000 copies to debut at Number Three – since the record streamed more than 3.15 million times, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Billboard has been adjusting its chart formulae in recent years to keep up with transitions in the record business. When it added YouTube streaming data to its Hot 100 singles last year, Baauer's "Harlem Shake" surged up the charts despite a lack of CD or download sales. But in the end, the same albums that tend to draw the most sales also draw the most streaming activity. One Direction's Four was Number One on Spotify this week and Number Two via iTunes – Taylor Swift would have been Number One on Spotify, as well, but she has not released the album to the popular streaming service. The newly concentrated data stands to help artists market albums to radio stations and other outlets. "It's been very difficult over the last two or three years to communicate the charts to radio stations," Daniel Glass, founder of Glassnote Records, home of Mumford and Sons, Phoenix and Chvrches, told the Times. "I've been Scotch taping and Band-Aiding Shazam and Spotify, bringing in all this data for them. Now with this all-in-one streaming chart, it's a much truer reflection of how much is being consumed."

For those fans intending to visit the 02 Exhibition it is well worth listening to the following Podcast from Graceland as it gives the various months when the major items will be on display and when they will not. For fans wishing to see all the 'Major' items then it looks as though you will need to buy a 'Return' ticket. Obviously a ploy by EPE to make fans spend more money. http://www.graceland.com/news/details/elvi...t-podcast/7566/ Brian

Opening at The O2, London on December 12, the nine month exhibition will showcase over 300 artifacts direct from the Presley family’s treasured Graceland Archives, some of which have never been exhibited outside of Graceland in Memphis. Tickets for the general public will go on sale at 9:00 a.m. London time on Friday, November 7, but as a Graceland Insider, you will receive access to a special pre-sale that begins at 9:00 a.m. London time on Thursday, November 6. A link to the pre-sale will be posted to the members-only Graceland Insiders site - GracelandInsiders.com - so be sure to log in for your access information for the pre-sale. Elvis at The O2: The Exhibition of His Life chronicles the rise of the rock ‘n’ roll icon and how Elvis impacted popular culture around the world through his music, movies and personal style. From his humble beginnings to his meteoric rise to fame, the exhibition will explore Elvis mania that first swept America and then the world, ground-breaking recording sessions, record-breaking concert tours, his military service, Hollywood film career and influence on fashion. Most importantly, visitors will get an intimate peek behind the gates of Graceland and come to know the man hailed as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, who strived to be the best possible, father, son and friend. Over 300 artifacts presented in Elvis at The O2: The Exhibition of His Life will include automobiles, personal items, historical documents, iconic stage costumes, guitars, gold and platinum records, and photography, in addition to dazzling audio and video presentations.

They are at the core of his work and his life and are the symbols of a social phenomenon that is recognized across the generations like no other.” Exhibition coordinator Nic Wastell says: “What we will be presenting is as much of Graceland as will fit into The O2. There has never been anything like this for Elvis before. No exhibition mounted previously has ever been so revealing of the man and the star. For people who can’t get to Graceland, Graceland is coming to them.” As a companion to Elvis at The O2: The Exhibition of His Life, the largest Elvis themed retail outlet ever assembled in Europe will serve as a marketplace for a large variety of Elvis and Graceland merchandise, including a broad selection of Elvis Presley CD's and box sets from RCA/Legacy Recordings, including an exclusive Limited Edition 2-CD keepsake collection, "The Music From Elvis At The O2," made specifically for this Exhibition and only available with ticket purchase or at the O2 Exhibition retail outlet.
