May 20, 201114 yr Author The Fame sales are a little confusing. A lot of sources say 22/23 million What about UK sales though?
May 20, 201114 yr I think it's around 15-16mil for The Fame+Monster worldwide sales. 22-23mil is far too much :S
May 20, 201114 yr What about UK sales though? UK combined sales for the fame/fame monster era are around 2.5 million I think
May 20, 201114 yr The Fame sales are a little confusing. A lot of sources say 22/23 million (http://connollyblog.dailymail.co.uk/2011/05/the-new-lady-gaga-album-born-this-way-is-it-any-good.html and countless others) but i'm pretty sure its around 16 million.... Either way Born This Way will be huge in its first month, and hopefully will continue to rack up enough sales to be a well deserved follow up to TFM It is almost a year since she received the 13m plaque, so by now she must be indeed around 16m with TFM. 15,578,000 was on a fan site.

May 20, 201114 yr What about UK sales though? Sorry i read it quickly as total sales for TF. UK i think its around 2.5-3 million. Given that its currently top 10 on iTunes, and will no doubt rocket up after Saturday's MonsterBall, 3 million could be a definate :cheer:
May 20, 201114 yr UK Pre-Order Charts Amazon 1. Born This Way (=) (At #2 (+1) on OVERALL Chart) 2. Born This Way (Special Edition) (=) (At #6 (=) on OVERALL Chart) HMV 1. Born This Way (Special Edition) (=) (At #1 (=) on OVERALL Chart) Play 1. Born This Way (Special Edition) (=) 2. Born This Way (=)
May 20, 201114 yr That's the problem. Her management are selling Born This Way album practically everywhere. I don't even think the Billboard 200 count sales such as Starbucks bought albums... I'm sure they would have made sure it would count before setting up these partnerships though. They're going for sales; I think they'll have done their research.
May 21, 201114 yr Are you sure though albums sold at places at pharmacies and starbucks would count towards to the Billboard 200?.....
May 21, 201114 yr Are you sure though albums sold at places at pharmacies and starbucks would count towards to the Billboard 200?..... I don't see why they wouldn't. Unless they're given away for free through some type of deal, perhaps. Or do you mean that Billboard might not be able to get the sales data from cafes and other places that don't normally sell music? Or perhaps the pharmacies, etc. will "buy" the albums in the first place, so they could still get counted that way. I don't know how it works really.
May 21, 201114 yr Given Starbucks have their own record label, I'm pretty sure they'll be registered to count.
May 21, 201114 yr Whattt? Starbucks have their own record label? :o That's something I learnt today :o
May 21, 201114 yr UK combined sales for the fame/fame monster era are around 2.5 million I think 2,565.4k - see also the YTD Albums thread...
May 21, 201114 yr I've seen (today on T4 which is a reliable source imo) 26million album sales! Thats insane if true! 50 million single sales too! Edited May 21, 201114 yr by Karma
May 21, 201114 yr I've seen (today on T4 which is a reliable source imo) 26million album sales! Thats insane if true! 50 million single sales too! Not true, even remotely. She's at about 15-16 million for albums and has a total of roughly 55 million record sales.
May 21, 201114 yr I was thinking that cannot actually be possible! :lol: Still 55miilion records sold in space of 2 years is phenomenal. :o
May 21, 201114 yr Mark my words! This album is gonna flop and she's gonna fall flat on her face. She can't go that far just with image and extremely week music!
May 21, 201114 yr Mark my words! This album is gonna flop and she's gonna fall flat on her face. She can't go that far just with image and extremely week music! Put your hate aside and then think.
May 21, 201114 yr Are you sure though albums sold at places at pharmacies and starbucks would count towards to the Billboard 200?..... They do.
May 22, 201114 yr Mark my words! This album is gonna flop and she's gonna fall flat on her face. She can't go that far just with image and extremely week music! Her image is *weak in your opinion only. Critics have been positive about it. There is no way this album will flop, anyway, regardless of quality. There is just too much behind it and there are far to many die-hard fans to let it flop.
