How does that work (with the credit going to KMF) if it's bought from Amazon?

Found this info on http://www.artisttoolbox.com/free/soundscan.html Who Reports Soundscan Sales. All the big chains report their sales to Soundscan, including Tower, Virgin, Sam Goody, Wal-Mart, as well as the major online retailers such as CDNow, and Amazon.com Additionally, many of the good sized independent record stores also report.

I'm glad this subject was consolidated into one thread...even though I think we had a fascinating discussion going there about the musical knowledge of employees at Best Buy. After reading about buying the CD here, I went into the KMF store for the first time. I don't know how much Chad gets back from the sales of each CD through here--but I think I heard that it's usually at least 50 cents per sale. Maybe that's a more generous (or undergenerous) guess. I've seen this procedure on other boards, though, and it can all add up to a fairly substantial total that would help in the maintenance of running this site. So going through the site to buy it through Amazon is just as easy as going right to the Amazon site itself. I notice they even have the same kind of Amazon page there...'other recommendations' (even my wish list) and all. I had to when they say that I'd also enjoy Nick Lachey's latest album in addition to Katharine's. That's just Amazon's automated system gone wacko, of course--considering Kat's album (or even single) doesn't fall under the Nick Lachey sound. And let's hope it stays that way. Time to contact Amazon and make sure the other recommendation pages work a little better...considering I'm always getting bizarre recommendations for other albums that don't even come close to the style of other CD's I've purchased. Let us know when you get the chance, Chad, how much you get back from Amazon. Once people know--it'll probably increase people purchasing the album through KMF.

I've heard a couple of times now that if you preorder Kat's CD it may not count towards her first week's sales numbers. Does anyone know for sure what the truth is on this? I'd hate to preorder and then find out that it didn't help with her first week's numbers. If that's the case I'd rather just wait and buy it the day that it's released.

Thanks for the info, though I have zero interest in Fantasia's music.. there's certainly a lot of Ai related cd's being released in November! Kat's is the only one I'll be buying, and in mass quantites, lol.

Gee, we should just add Justin Guarini into the mix (and William Hung for good measure) on 11/28--and we'd have a very easy no-contest holiday season sale figure right there. Then again, the fact that William Hung could probably nestle up to Kat's album on the charts makes you want to leave the country. Thanks for the news on that. I'm not sure Fantasia is going to continue being a successful artist--though she deserves to be one. Her past material has been fairly blah though, so she's going to need some good songs for once. Hopefully this album will do it for her. I don't think that biopic she did on Lifetime really helped her career all that much either. By the way, Best Buy didn't count on Billboard for Kat's single last June. That's why I ended up going to Target to face the wrath of the vastly uninformed music section employees. I agree with Don (in that Best Buy thread) that BB is more likely to have knowledgeable people working their music section. But that non-counting on Billboard was only for the single. It may be different for the album...despite seeing evidence posted by people contrary to that. Could anybody here gladly explain why Best Buy isn't included in the Billboard scans? Here BB is one of the leading places people go to buy all media...and Billboard can't bother to count sales from there. That makes no sense to me.
