October 16, 20222 yr Author What a massive achievement! Her debut album really standing the test of time against some of these other behemoth albums in the top 10 :clap:
October 16, 20222 yr Yay! I would guess it'll overtake Spirit at some point as it's the highest selling out of top 5 on a weekly basis.
October 16, 20222 yr Author Amazing if it could! Do any in the top 10 sell more than it though to overtake it? :unsure:

October 16, 20222 yr Author I did notice that but I assume the sales info that poster had for Spirit were much more out of date compared to The Fame? :unsure: I can't see Leona getting regular sales updates posted like Gaga's tallies are :P
October 16, 20222 yr Amazing if it could! Do any in the top 10 sell more than it though to overtake it? :unsure: Sam Smith's album is doing the best atm but only slightly more than The Fame.
October 18, 20222 yr Author Another huge statistic: @1582360401249198080 :cheeseblock: wonder if it can climb any higher here too?
October 18, 20222 yr With how streaming works and stuff, I imagine in time it will at least overtake Leona and Shania?
October 18, 20222 yr Author Yes true! Could be overtaken by stuff further below it but I think it's going to be a mainstay in the top 10 for a while to come!
