Number one means more publicity, can affect some music lovers to think that maybe the album is really that great that no one should miss it, so it is a way to boost more sales. whatever it is, it is just a way for survival.

in a way, in my opinion, the company that commented the most over this issue is trying hard to make people think that they are noble to fight this, and some people will be proud of such actions, and will support that cd. This is just one approach to get sales too without having to spend money to BUY chart. And those people who are targeted, their fans will want to prove more, and may also buy MORE. MARKETING tactics, u see.

I can somewhat understand why some people felt that it is unfair to put in the 205k sold campus album into the chart. Some argued that the campus cd were sold at a cheaper rate to the event company, but have they thought of the price that the fans bought them? It cost NT400, which is higher than the normal price of the album sold in cd stores. But my guess was they suspected that all these albums were bought by event company, which indirectly means THEY bought all the albums but may not have sold ALL of them to fans hence the conclusion of buying chart. And these albums are not sold to fans. It could be true. Who knows except they themselves? But maybe they should see the number of campus concert they held, and do a count of the number of people who attend. Because, to attend the concert, u need to have the album bought from that campus.
