Kalshi
The event evaluates multiple thresholds for the album "Press Play" by LISA to determine market resolution. Each threshold represents a specific number of album equivalent units that the album must surpass during the tracking week from October 23, 2026, to October 29, 2026, for the corresponding market to resolve as Yes. All markets use data reported by Luminate’s API as of 10:00 AM ET on the Sunday immediately following the tracking week. Luminate serves as a neutral metrics provider and does not influence market outcomes. The thresholds range incrementally from 30,000 to 100,000 album equivalent units, allowing participants to assess the likelihood of the album meeting various levels of commercial success within its first week.
