Unfortunately no, but Soundscan is a much more thorough process and hence more accurate. You can compare roughly in that if SP says that, in over a week's span, STG has risen say 100% and you know SS's figs from the previous week then you can compare, but I'm not really sure that the 2 counting systems use exactly the same weekly span, so that would introduce differences. I just treat SP as a rough guide, but it's good for seeing a spike due to just one day's sale after a TV appearance for example.
