What if someone buys multiple copies of the same album/song?
- Any sales of 5 or more copies of an album attributed to one customer at the UPC/ISRC level, no matter how that number of albums is accrued, is subject to MRC Data’s bulk policy rule application.
- For sales designated as bulk, the following credit will apply (UPC/ISRC level):
- A customer who purchases 1 to 4 units will be ingested without any adjustments
- A customer who purchases 5 to 9 units will have that customer’s count reduced to 4 units for sales and ingested
- A customer who purchases 10 or more units be dismissed entirely, having that customer’s count adjusted to 0 units for sales and will not be ingested.
