Chart Eligibility
Prepare your campaign for chart reporting.
Do sales on EVEN count toward Billboard charts?
How Billboard chart reporting works on a STUDIO campaign: EVEN's reporting relationship with Luminate, the metadata your team supplies, what can be reported and when, the requirements that shape setup, and the territories covered.
How does EVEN prevent bulk buying, bots, and duplicate purchases?
The controls that keep STUDIO sales clean: card fingerprinting, one-time-code sign-in, automated traffic filtering, bulk screening, redemption-based reporting, chargeback handling, and unique presale codes.
What are the US rules for chart-eligible pre-orders with early tracks?
US Billboard/Luminate rules for digital-album pre-orders, including early tracks, variant limits and URL approval. UK rules are separate.
How do STUDIO sales qualify for the UK Official Charts?
Plan UK digital-album offers, early access, pricing, redemption and reporting under the approved OCC framework.
How does EVEN report chart-qualifying sales?
EVEN submits territory-specific sales data after the offer and redemption requirements are met.
What is redemption and why does it matter?
A fan authenticates and plays or downloads on or after street date. Qualifying pre-orders are reported when redeemed.
Do physical sales and bundles count toward the charts?
How physical product, bundles and variants are treated on a STUDIO campaign that reports to the charts, why early track access is digital only, what can be reported on a mixed campaign, and why the full plan belongs at kickoff.
Who handles chart registration and campaign communication?
EVEN manages reporting; the label supplies the offer, metadata, pre-order count and campaign documentation.
