January 1, 200916 yr big jump for lady gaga...Im expecting next week another big jump inside top 40...and album sold 150k to date...which is not bad :)
January 2, 200916 yr Why hasn't lady Gaga sold more albums when she's doing so well on the hot100? Good to see P!nk go up on the album front, she was another strange one to not do anywhere near as well as on the hot100 with her album.

January 3, 200916 yr Having successful singles no longer equates to really successful albums i.e. Katy Perry!
January 3, 200916 yr Very very low sales.... :blink: i'm sure that by next year UK Sales will surpass US sales by millions....
January 5, 200916 yr the last thing americans were worried about in 2008 was buying a cd. i actually took public transportation for the first time. gas prices were just dumb.
