EPs are like albums, only shorter and with less songs (sometimes not even that, sometimes the only thing that makes them EPs and not albums, is that the artists refer to them as that) |
There's your key word "like". They aren't albums, even the artist know it. But a box set is a set albums, think of them as mutlitple albums or CDs, often containing material not available elsewhere.

Of course it is.
The bag isn't a potato though. 
And that's what the box set is. If you wanted to add that certain potato, and the potato next to it, into your charts, then that's ok. If you add the bag and all that it contains as a potato, you're incorrect.

It's not what the container is but what is inside that counts. Eggs in a box or a basket are still eggs.

But if you try to fry up a carton (let's use the correct terminology) of eggs - you're gonna be eatin a lotta cardboard, son!
Conclusion - Container does not = objects within it.

We discussed this!
Box sets which come the problem are: album-collections. studio or live. and why is that? because rating them is POINTLESS and RUINS the charts for nothing.
Also I said before: | Quote: | | I guess there can be a solution for the moment by just exclude the most shown highly-rated ones, and for other ones it can by notifying through Edit Album option for each. what do you think? |

^ This.
Box sets are even more different from albums than EPs. EPs are like shorter albums. Box sets aren't like longer albums.
