SOUNDSCAN Nielsen SoundScan is an information system that tracks sales of music and music video products throughout the United States and Canada (separately). Sales data from point-of-sale cash registers is collected weekly from over 14,000 retail, mass merchant and non-traditional (on-line stores, venues, etc.) outlets. In addition, numerous concert venue sites are registered to report onsite sales. Weekly data is compiled and made available every Wednesday to participating retailers, record labels, Billboard and the radio industry. Nielsen SoundScan is the sales source for the Billboard music charts. It is important to note that Soundscan is a subscription service and requires computerized point of sale equipment. Therefore, many independent and small urban retailers do not report their sales. THE STORES BELOW ARE KNOWN TO REPORT TO SOUNDSCAN Amazon.com Walmart KMart Target Best Buy Circuit City Meijers Borders Barnes & Noble FYE Sam Goody's most independent (non-chain) music stores (ask !!!!)
