How is Madonna's Rebel Heart not selling enough to even make the Top 100 albums? And Meghan Trainor is still in the Top 20 for heaven's sake!! 😁 The world has gone mad!! 😔

Yep and they described it as a re-entry last week when it was a new entry. The OCC's system can't seem to cope with two albums with identical catalogue numbers...
