This event group determines which album will hold the #1 position on the Billboard 200 chart for the week dated March 28, 2026. Both platforms are betting on the same underlying fact: the identity of the chart-topping album on that specific Billboard 200 release date.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both platforms reference the identical official Billboard 200 chart for the week of March 28, 2026, with consistent album eligibility and timing expectations.
Primary resolution logic:
Official Billboard 200 chart published on https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/ or through official Billboard channels, dated Week of March 28, 2026
Core resolution logic:
Resolution is determined by which album holds the #1 position on the Billboard 200 chart dated Week of March 28, 2026
The chart reflects sales and streaming data from the previous week (Friday-Thursday) and is published on Tuesday
Kalshi resolves Yes if any of the 11 named albums is #1; Polymarket offers individual binary markets for each album plus an 'other album' catch-all option
Both platforms use the same official Billboard data source with no alternative or competing resolution authority
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Chart Publication Delay: If the Billboard 200 chart for Week of March 28, 2026 is not published within 14 calendar days of the expected release date, Polymarket resolves to Other; Kalshi resolves to No
Album Not Released by Chart Date: If a named album has not been released by the chart date, it cannot be #1 and that outcome resolves to No
Tie or Co-Chart Positions: Billboard does not typically award co-#1 positions; the official chart designation determines the sole #1 album
Data Correction or Restatement: Resolution uses the final official Billboard 200 chart as published; any subsequent corrections or restatements do not trigger re-resolution
Timing:
Resolution occurs upon publication of the Billboard 200 chart dated Week of March 28, 2026, expected on Tuesday of that week. If not published within 14 calendar days, Polymarket resolves to Other and Kalshi resolves to No.
