El Billboard 200 es una lista de récords que clasifica los 200 álbumes de música y EP más populares de los Estados Unidos. Es publicado semanalmente por la revista Billboard . Se utiliza con frecuencia para transmitir la popularidad de un artista o grupos de artistas. A menudo, un acto de grabación será recordado por sus " números uno ", los de sus álbumes que superaron a todos los demás durante al menos una semana. La lista creció desde una lista semanal de los 10 mejores en 1956 hasta convertirse en un top 200 en mayo de 1967, y adquirió su título actual en marzo de 1992. Sus nombres anteriores incluyen Billboard Top LPs (1961–72), BillboardTop LPs & Tape (1972–84), Billboard Top 200 Albums (1984–85) y Billboard Top Pop Albums (1985–92).

La tabla se basa principalmente en las ventas (tanto minoristas como digitales ) de álbumes en los Estados Unidos. El período de ventas semanales era originalmente de lunes a domingo cuando Nielsen comenzó a rastrear las ventas en 1991, pero desde julio de 2015, la semana de rastreo comienza el viernes (para coincidir con la fecha de lanzamiento global de la industria de la música ) y termina el jueves. Se publica un nuevo gráfico el martes siguiente con un número posterior al sábado de esa semana, cuatro días después. [1] El cronograma de transmisión del gráfico también se rastrea de viernes a jueves. [2]

Ejemplo:
Viernes 1 de enero: comienza la semana de seguimiento de ventas
Jueves 7 de enero: finaliza la semana de seguimiento de ventas
Martes 12 de enero: nueva tabla publicada, con fecha de emisión del sábado 16 de enero.

El nuevo producto se lanza al mercado estadounidense los viernes. Las descargas digitales de álbumes también se incluyen en la tabulación Billboard 200. Los álbumes que no tienen licencia para la venta minorista en los Estados Unidos (pero comprados en los EE. UU. Como importaciones) no son elegibles para la venta. Una política de larga data que hizo que los títulos que se venden exclusivamente en puntos de venta minoristas específicos (como Walmart y Starbucks ) no sean elegibles para la creación de gráficos, se revocó el 7 de noviembre de 2007 y entró en vigencia en la edición del 17 de noviembre. [3]

A partir de la edición del 13 de diciembre de 2014, Billboard actualizó la metodología de su lista de álbumes para incluir también la transmisión a pedido y las ventas de pistas digitales (medidas por Nielsen SoundScan) mediante un nuevo algoritmo, utilizando datos de todos los principales en - Exija suscripción de audio y servicios de venta de música en línea en los Estados Unidos. [4]

A partir del número del 18 de enero de 2020, Billboard actualizó la metodología para compilar el gráfico nuevamente incorporando datos de video de YouTube , junto con reproducciones visuales de servicios de transmisión como Apple Music , Spotify , Tidal , Vevo , y a partir del número de marzo. 27 de octubre de 2021, Facebook . [5] [6]

A partir del número del 8 de mayo de 2021, el álbum número uno actual en el Billboard 200 es A Gangsta's Pain de Moneybagg Yo . [7]

Historia

Billboard comenzó una lista de álbumes en 1945. Inicialmente solo tenía cinco posiciones, la lista de álbumes no se publicaba semanalmente, a veces pasaban de tres a siete semanas antes de que se actualizara. En 1955 apareció una lista quincenal (aunque con algunas brechas) de 15 álbumes populares más vendidos. Con el aumento en las ventas de álbumes a principios de la década de 1950, las guerras de formatos se estabilizaron en el dominio del mercado con sencillos de 45 RPM y doce pulgadas de larga duración. álbumes, con 78 RPM récord y ventas de álbumes de diez pulgadas de larga duración disminuyendo drásticamente, Billboard estrenó una lista semanal de álbumes populares más vendidos el 24 de marzo de 1956. El recuento de posiciones varió entre 10 y 30 álbumes. El primer álbum número uno en la nueva lista semanal fue Belafonte deHarry Belafonte . La lista pasó a llamarse Álbumes de pop más vendidos más adelante en 1956, y luego a LP de pop más vendidos en 1957.

A partir del 25 de mayo de 1959, Billboard dividió el ranking en dos listas : LP estereofónicos más vendidos para álbumes estéreo (30 posiciones) y LP monofónicos más vendidos para álbumes mono (50 posiciones). Estos fueron renombrados como Stereo Action Charts (30 posiciones) y Mono Action Charts (40 posiciones) en 1960. En enero de 1961, se convirtieron en Action Albums - Stereophonic (15 posiciones) y Action Albums - Monophonic (25 posiciones). Tres meses después, se convirtieron en los mejores LP: estéreo (50 posiciones) y los mejores LP, monoaural (150 posiciones).

El 17 de agosto de 1963, las listas estéreo y mono se combinaron en una lista de 150 posiciones llamada Top LPs . El 1 de abril de 1967, la lista se expandió a 175 posiciones, luego finalmente a 200 posiciones el 13 de mayo de 1967. En febrero de 1972, el título de la lista de álbumes se cambió a Top LPs & Tape ; en 1984, fue rebautizado como Top 200 Albums ; en 1985, fue retitulado nuevamente a Top Pop Albums ; en 1991, se convirtió en The Billboard 200 Top Albums ; y recibió su título actual de The Billboard 200 el 14 de marzo de 1992.

Álbumes de catálogo

En 1960, Billboard comenzó a publicar simultáneamente listas de álbumes que clasificaban las ventas de títulos más antiguos o de precio medio. Estas listas de Essential Inventory se dividieron en álbumes estéreo y mono, y presentaban títulos que ya habían aparecido en las listas principales de álbumes estéreo y mono. Los álbumes mono se trasladaron al Inventario Esencial — Gráfico mono (25 posiciones) después de pasar 40 semanas en el Gráfico de acción mono , y los álbumes estéreo se trasladaron al Inventario esencial — Gráfico estéreo (20 posiciones) después de 20 semanas en el Gráfico de acción estéreo .

En enero de 1961, las listas de acción se convirtieron en álbumes de acción, monofónicos (24 posiciones) y álbumes de acción, estereofónicos (15 posiciones). Los álbumes aparecieron en cualquiera de las listas por hasta nueve semanas, luego se movieron a una lista de Inventario Esencial de aproximadamente 200 títulos, sin clasificación numérica. Esta lista continuó publicándose hasta que la lista consolidada de Top LPs debutó en 1963.

En 1982, Billboard comenzó a publicar una lista de Midline Albums (alternativamente titulada Midline LPs ) que clasificaba títulos más antiguos o de precio medio. El gráfico ocupó 50 posiciones y se publicó cada dos semanas (y luego cada tres semanas).

El 25 de mayo de 1991, Billboard estrenó la lista Top Pop Catalog Albums . El criterio para esta lista eran álbumes que tenían más de 18 meses de antigüedad y habían caído por debajo de la posición 100 en el Billboard 200. [8] Un álbum no necesitaba estar en el Billboard 200 en absoluto para calificar para el estatus de catálogo.

Sin embargo, a partir de la edición del 5 de diciembre de 2009, las limitaciones del catálogo que eliminaron los álbumes de más de 18 meses, que han caído por debajo de la posición 100 y no tienen ningún single en ejecución, del Billboard 200 se eliminaron, convirtiendo la lista en un todo. -Lista incluida de los 200 álbumes más vendidos en el país (esencialmente cambiando Top Comprehensive Albums a Billboard 200). En el mismo número también se introdujo una nueva tabla que mantiene los criterios anteriores para el Billboard 200 (denominado Top Current Albums ). [9]

Álbumes de vacaciones

Billboard ha ajustado varias veces sus políticas para los álbumes de Navidad [10] y festivos [10] . Los álbumes fueron elegibles para las listas de álbumes principales hasta 1963, cuando se creó una lista de álbumes de Navidad . Los álbumes que aparecen aquí no se incluyeron en la lista de los mejores LP . En 1974, esta regla se revirtió y los álbumes navideños volvieron a aparecer dentro de la lista principal.

En 1983, la lista de álbumes navideños resucitó, pero la aparición de un título aquí no lo descalificó para aparecer en la lista de los mejores álbumes pop . En 1994, la lista fue rebautizada como Top Holiday Albums . A partir de 2009, el gráfico tiene 50 posiciones y se ejecuta durante varias semanas durante la temporada de vacaciones de fin de año calendario. Su política actual permite que los álbumes navideños aparezcan simultáneamente en la lista de los mejores álbumes navideños y en el Billboard 200.

Nielsen SoundScan

Desde el 25 de mayo de 1991, las posiciones de Billboard 200 se han derivado de los datos de ventas de Nielsen SoundScan , a partir de 2008 aportados por aproximadamente 14.000 vendedores de música. Debido a que estos números son proporcionados por un subconjunto de vendedores en lugar de sellos discográficos , es común que estos números sean sustancialmente más bajos que los reportados por la Recording Industry Association of America cuando se anuncian los premios de álbumes de Oro, Platino y Diamante (los premios RIAA reflejan ventas al por mayor). envíos , no ventas al por menor ).

Incorporación de transmisión de datos y seguimiento de ventas.

A partir de la edición del 13 de diciembre de 2014, Billboard actualizó la metodología de su lista de álbumes nuevamente, cambiando de una "clasificación basada en ventas pura" a una que mide "consumo multimétrico". [4] Con esta revisión, el Billboard 200 incluye transmisión a pedido y ventas de pistas digitales (medidas por Nielsen SoundScan) mediante un nuevo algoritmo, que utiliza datos de todos los principales servicios de suscripción de audio a pedido, incluidos Spotify , Beats Música , Google Play y Xbox Music . Según la nueva metodología, las ventas de diez pistas o 1.500 transmisiones de canciones de un álbum se tratan como equivalentes a una compra del álbum. Carteleracontinuará publicando una tabla de ventas de álbumes puros , llamada Top Album Sales, que mantiene la metodología tradicional de Billboard 200, basada exclusivamente en los datos de ventas de SoundScan. [4]

A partir del 18 de enero de 2020, Billboard incorporará datos de audio y video de YouTube, junto con reproducciones visuales de servicios de transmisión como Apple Music , Spotify, Tidal y Vevo , en Billboard 200. El cambio también afectará el género de Billboard . listas de álbumes específicas. [5]

Gráficos de fin de año

Billboard 's carreras 'año diagrama' de la primera semana de diciembre hasta la última semana de noviembre. Este calendario alterado permite que Billboard calcule gráficos de fin de año y los publique a tiempo para su edición impresa final en la última semana de diciembre. Antes de Nielsen SoundScan, las listas de fin de año se calculaban mediante un sistema de punto inverso basado únicamente en el desempeño de un álbum en el Billboard 200 (por ejemplo, un álbum recibiría un punto por una semana pasada en la posición 200, dos puntos por una semana pasada en la posición 199 ... hasta 200 puntos por cada semana pasada en la posición número uno). Otros factores, incluido el total de semanas en la lista y en su posición máxima, se calcularon en el total de fin de año de un álbum.

Después de que Billboard comenzara a obtener información de ventas de Nielsen SoundScan, las listas de fin de año ahora se calculan mediante un total acumulativo muy sencillo de ventas anuales. Esto da una imagen más precisa de los álbumes más vendidos de cualquier año dado, ya que un título que hipotéticamente pasó nueve semanas en el número uno en marzo posiblemente podría haber vendido menos copias que uno que pasó seis semanas en el número tres en enero. Los álbumes en la cima de su popularidad en el momento del corte del año de la lista de noviembre / diciembre muchas veces terminan en un lugar más bajo de lo que uno esperaría en el recuento de fin de año, sin embargo, también se clasifican en la lista del año siguiente, como su los puntos se dividen entre los dos años del gráfico.
