	Nielsen SoundScan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nielsen SoundScan is an information system created by Mike Fine and Mike Shalett that tracks sales data for singles, albums, and music video products in Canada and the United States for Billboard and other music industry companies.
		Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales data for Billboard on March 1, 1991.
		Sales data from cash registers is collected from 14,000 retail, mass merchant, and non-retail (online stores) outlets in Canada and the U.S. Though this includes all major brick-and-mortar retailers, it is not a 100% sample of record sales; it excludes music clubs as well as some independent retailers and online outlets.

	Billboard 200 - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The chart expanded to 200 positions for the chart of May 13th, 1967 and adopted its current name on March 14, 1992.
		Since May 26, 1991, the Billboard 200's positions have been derived from Nielsen SoundScan sales data, currently contributed by approximately 14,000 music sellers.
		Because these numbers are supplied by a subset of sellers rather than record labels, it is common for these numbers to be substantially lower than those reported by the Recording Industry Association of America when Gold album awards are announced (RIAA awards reflect wholesale shipments, not retail sales).
