Who will have a #1 album this year?

The market settles based on the official chart and timeframe specified in the market rules on the event page; if the page does not explicitly name a chart, check the market description or settlement clause for the authoritative source and the exact start/end dates that define 'this year.'

The event lists a closing time as TBD; settlement typically occurs after the market's close or after the official chart has published results covering the market's timeframe. See the market page for any platform-specific announcement about the closing and settlement schedule.

Outcome additions or removals depend on the platform and on pre-set rules for this market; organizers may add outcomes before the market closes, but changes and their timing will be noted on the event page. Always check the market log or update feed for any modifications.

Settlement follows the official chart crediting: the outcome whose name exactly matches the credited artist(s) on the published chart entry wins. If the market lists distinct collaborative outcomes, the credited name on the chart determines which specific outcome is eligible.

Yes — if the reissue, deluxe edition, or posthumous release is credited to the artist on the official chart and the charting occurs within the market's defined timeframe, it counts for settlement. Check the market's adjudication rules for any special exceptions.
