I voted 200-250k from the very start :smoke:

I don't think that's fair to say. Born This Way has been a huge hit everywhere and her album is set to do much better than The Fame was doing in 2009.

What I don't understand is how certain haters can be so arrogant and not realise (despite being told many times) that the $0.99 deal was not Gaga's doing. Interscope sold the album to Amazon for $9 and Amazon decided to sell the album for $0.99 as a loss-leader to create hype and publicity for its improved MP3 service.

Lady Gaga reportedly sold 400k across all digital markets on her first day of sales. With physicals it could be 600k. HDD are now predicting 950k.

Gaga reportedly sold 400k across all digital markets in her first day in the US. With physicals she could be anything up to 600k for first day there! HDD are predicting 950k now. So 750k >>> 900k >>> 950k... Will it go higher? http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPage.cgi?news08553

First Day Sales: UK 94k Japan 46k

Well, that's what someone else I was talking to said, so I included a comparison of TFM, which has ~2800 views in its entire history.

Don't know how much this means, but... Born This Way (Bonus Track Version) got 1274 ratings on UK iTunes today, of which 1106 were 5*. Born This Way got 276 ratings on UK iTunes today, of which 247 were 5*. So in total, both versions got 1550 ratings on UK iTunes today, of which 1353 were 5*. I'm not sure if this is any indication of sales, but Adele has 3179 ratings in total, of which 2634 are 5*. TFM has 2797 ratings in total, of which 2366 are 5*. Do you think this could be any indication of sales?

I know someone who is a manager in Walmart and they said some of the stores in the chain had sold out as early as 7am.

Very excited about tomorrow's midweek. Hope they give us figures :P

Haha, relax, she may hit #1 yet. iTunes is a 48hr rolling chart and it has only been out for 17.5hrs there!

A very popular local artist released her album on the 20th.

It may be #7 combined, there are 2 versions in the top 300, then a remix and another album version in the top 1000.

@atemyheart__: HMV stores across the UK have ran out of Born This Way copies, after just 6 hours of being on sale.

Reports from the US are saying that the album had sold out in stores across the country as early as 7am.

No, but there are several sales trackers who are very reliable at predicting sales and, while this obviously isn't completely accurate, it's the closest we have to official sales figures.
