Latin Pop Albums is a record chart published on Billboard magazine.
The information is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan from a sample that represents more than 90% of the U.S. music retail market which includes not only music stores and the music departments at electronics and department stores, but also direct-to-consumer transactions and Internet sales (both physical albums via Internet, and ones bought via digital downloads).
A limited array of verifiable sales from concert venues is also tabulated.
