Definitely agree with your perspective on the RPO. If all other RPO collaborations have been treated the same in the Billboard Classic Album Chart. This would be why the Carpenters RPO album has been classified this way too.And as was said then, probably anything from the RPO is automatically classified as classical.
Upto a few weeks ago the Beach Boys RPO was also on the Classical chart.Definitely agree with your perspective on the RPO. If all other RPO collaborations have been treated the same in the Billboard Classic Album Chart. This would be why the Carpenters RPO album has been classified this way too.

Phenomenal chart performance 50 years on. This alone merits another venture. Either RPO 2 or the 50th anny surprise I've been awaiting since 2004s As Time Goes By. I am delightfully stunned as the glory days continue to pulsate. My passionate attraction continues as ever. I may dip and wobble but the duo I can count on every listen. The Xmas Eve of 1970 was the induction of a seven year old boy into solace, appreciation and the dawn of an exquisite ear for perfection.At 31 weeks on the chart, the RPO album drops from #16 to #23 for the week of July 20, 2019.
