Yesterday, it was confirmed that her latest LP ‘Born This Way’ has sold 2 million records across the globe. Now Lady GaGa has responded to the controversy surrounding Amazon‘s decision to sell the record for 0.99 cents which accounts for 40% of the album’s combined US sales so far.
Peep what Ms.Germanotta had to say below…
Speaking directly to the ‘Wall Street Journal’ she revealed, ‘I applaud a company like Amazon for equating the value of the digital copy verses the physical copy’, going onto say ‘It wasn’t also 99 cents because Amazon paid the difference for all of those purchases as part of their promotional campaign for one of their new services, I think it’s amazing, it was a really nice surprise’
Whilst some of the ‘Judas’ singer’s naysayers may still be in opposition to Amazon’s pricing of the record, it is worth noting GaGa is not the first artist to have a record sold at this price by the outlet.
In 2009, the company sold Rihanna‘s Rated R album for the same amount, even with this deal the ill fated release sold an embarrassing 181,000 units in its first week. More than ten times less than ‘Born This Way’.
It is also worth remembering that even though ‘Born’ would not have hit the million mark this week without Amazon, the fact that it sold 440,000 units alone from a single outlet proves that fans would have purchased the release regardless of the price.
As well as this, the company’s risky decision to purchase copies of the album at full price and sell them for ten times less merely highlights the industry’s belief in GaGa’s brand loyalty and commercial capabilities.
Capabilities that have now made her one of the world’s fastest selling artists.

Jesus i can’t stand this b****
Fake success across the globe
So basically, her cd was on sale. I knew it was something up with those numbers… Hell, had I known it was going to be 99 cents, I would have probably bought it too.
People act like it was GAGA herself that put it up on Amazon for .99
Anyways CONGRATS to her on everything!
It is an AMAZING album that shows growth and evolution, I hope folks didn’t think she was going to be making dance records her WHOLE career.
Queen Gaga is ruling the music industry. Where dem hater?
Of course she will sell more than anybody else with a cd at $0.99… this is ridiculous…
I’m thinking of all these artists that have difficulties to sell their albums, to get contracts, to get shows, to get a mini form of promotion… and now they sell records at $0.99…?
It works for her but will it work for everybody… I dont think so.
CHEATER!!!!!
I don’t know why Sam has 2 compare Rihanna with every Artists n each time it’s the same F****** things that U put down. Y’all need to realize by now that Nobody can turn Rihanna’s Navy against her!!! So STHU to all Haters…
YAWN
Rihanna’s album sisn t sell for 99cent.
TGJ is once again desperately LYING to shade Rihanna.
Even billboard said the 99cent promotion was UNPRECEDENTED.
Also, BTW sold 460,000 thru the promotion.
Get ur numbers right!
Rated R promotion was $3.99
Which the same promotion: Eminem, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, JayZ, Mariah and EVERY gets on their release week.
well said, Sam. but i don’t think Gaga should have bothered to respond to the critics, she does what she wants, let people cry. 2 million in a week is a real feat.
Looks like she paid 99 cents for the Gold La met Catsuit.
@RihannaNAVY
actually it was sold for 0.99 because i bought it!
TEN TIMES LESS LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SAM U ARE ……….. 😀 I CANT I CANT
WHERE RIHANNA STANS AT W/THEIR FASTEST SELLING ALBUM LIST
RIHANNA BEING THE S*** IN THE UK
AND S*** LMAOOOOOO
WHERE AT?WHERE AT? WHERE AT?
10 TIME LESS IS ………………NO I CANT DEAD
this interviewer is horrible!
ok but still 600,000 physical, no one is doing that beingg as extra as she is, i think she still would have done it
Why, oh why does Lady Gaga feel the need to explain EVERYTHING ???
She would have never hit 1 million marks without that bargain. The proof is in the pudding and talk is cheap.
NEXT!
Good for her. Not a fan, but she’s an international celebrity.
@MISHKA, She’s painfully insecure about how unoriginal she is. She lives in constant fear that she’ll be found out. Even though she already has been.
2 M without releasing the real hits of the album!!

ummmmm rihannas album was only 99cent for a day …not a week and she wasent promoting it being 99cents sooooooooooo yea………
But the album leaked. It was free. No one had to pay ANYTHING for it.
And yes Rated r was sold for 99 cents. I saw it but I didnt buy it. And the difference is that rihanna’s label lowered the price but Amazon is the one that lowered gagas price.
Gaga may not have hit a million without Amazon but she would have easily sold 800k
@joojoo
Gaga’s album wasn’t sold at 99cents for a week. Only two dats and Gaga never promoted it. This is the first time she ever said anything about it
An album it’s just a way to display your music. They don’t take a lot af money with it. The concert and stage performance are now the big deal and an end in itself.
Gaga didn’t have to address this. Naysayers are going to be naysayers regardless.
NO, I dont think she would have hit the 1 million mark in the US without the Amazon promo, HOWEVER, she would still probably have the highest selling album this year.
She had a hellva promotion campaign. She knows how to promote.
Rihanna’s “Rated R” album was actually $3.99 but they were selling it for $.99 on black friday! And Billboard wasn’t counting those sales toward album sales! They just started doing that with Lady Gaga. So Sam (or whoever) needs to get their information straight before they start posting false things!
Once again there is a bunch of delusional haters in here downplaying her sucecess. Yes Rihanna was sold for $0.99 on Amazon at the hands of Def Jam and she couldn’t even push 200k. There obviously was demand for this album being that 60% of the buyers bought it at retailers for full price. Regardless if she made it to 1 million the first week she would have definitely been there by the 2nd week. There’s a difference between a label pricing an album for $0.99 because of fear of low performance (eg: Rihanna), and a retailer willing to take a potential loss for an album they know the world is in demand to hear. Keep in mind the album already leaked online a week in advance, and you could stream it on YouTube, Facebook games, or hear it in Starbucks. Yet, it still pushed nearly 800k at reatilers for full price alone.

___________________________________________________________________
RIGHT!!!!! Im sure she’s only getting a couple of cents from each album. I bet her tour grossing will be off da chain tho. She will be on forbes list fa sho.
That Lady Gaga fever won’t last trust me!
@HeavyMetalLover that’s another point that these fools are not getting. By the album being $0.99 for two days, streamable at many outlets, available in unconventional stores, everyone in the world knew of it’s release. My 73 year old grandmother knows who Lady GaGa is! People are going to hear this music more than they hear any other artist, because her label put it out there, unlike most labels who keep the music sealed shut to everyone but buyers. In return people are either going to hear the album somewhere and purchase it at FULL retail price, or better yet be so familiarized with the music that they go see a live show (where the big bucks are made).
I am no fan of Gaga, but I will say this. I would not care if the CD was free would not get it. People did not buy her album because it was .99 they bought it because they wanted it. I dont like when people try to still an artist shine with BS. The women sold 2 million albums. Nobody had to buy it but they did.
THIS IS THE S*** I DON’T LIKE
RIHANNA ALBUM WAS SOLD FOR $0.99 IN ONE DAY. THIS SITE THREW SHADE AND DID THE MOST
NOW LADY GAGA SALES HER ALBUM FOR $0.99 NO SHADE THROWN IT’S ALL GOOD YOU WAVE THE WHITE FLAG I JUST CAN’T THIS SITE CONTINUES TO BE BIAS
LADY GAGA KEEP SON GETTING SPECIAL TREATMENT IN THE INDUSTRY I JUST DON’T THINK IT’S FAIR
IF BEYONCE DONE THIS I KNOW DAME WELL THIS SITE WOULD HAVE DRAGGED HER DOWN.
I HOPE AMAZON ALSO SALES BEYONCE ALBUM FOR $0.99
IF NOT THEN WE ALL KNOW THE DEAL.
SIDE NOTE: RATED R ——–> BORN THIS WAY I’M NOT HERE FOR NUMBERS!
I dnt care if Amazon brought the cd at full price, they still sold it for 99c.
RATED R WAS A GREAT ARTISTIC ALBUM!
IT DIDNT COME OFF AS BEING FORCED…UNLIKE GAG GAG!
IF IT WAS ANY1 IELSE IN THE INDUSTRY…..IT WOULDVVE BEEN A PROBLEM….BUT SINCE GAG GAG CONTROLLS THE INDUSTRY & MEDIA’S MINDS…..ITS NO BIG DEAL!
F***** FRAUD!
ALL SHE DOES IS WEAR STUPID COSTUMES,WEIRD MAKE UP & MAKE GENERIC MUSIC…….SHES UGLY AS HELL & IS UN-ORIGINAL
I DONT GET THE FASCINATION WITH HER!!!!
GODNEY WOULD NEVER SELL OUT LIKE GAG GAG!
Funny cuz Rihanna stans were in here playing Mother Monster for doing it when their favorite also did it AND sold her concert tickets for $5…#WhereDeyDoDatAt?
Lady Gaga’s Album also came with 20 mb of the Cloud Drive storage FOR 99 CENTS, that’s like a record label saying everyone gets the latest iPod for free if you purchase the album for 99 cents. I’m sure there were thousands who bought the album for that reason alone. Hell, I would heave bought the album for that if I had found out about the deal soon enough. But that said that another way she cheated her number luring people with a free service. Lady Gaga’s music is a joke now and she single-handedly destroyed the future of music with her desperation to be in the spotlight. Personally I’m banning her ass for being such a cheapskate. What a loser that sad little Lady Gaga is.
BUY THE FREEBIE VERSION ONLINE. THAT WAY YOU GET THE DOWNLOAD FOR FREE “AND” IT DOESN’T COUNT TOWARD HER SALES NUMBERS. GENIUS I SAY… NEXT!!
@KYLE said: RATED R WAS A GREAT ARTISTIC ALBUM!
CHILEEEEE, IN WAT WAY? THE ONLY GOOD SONG ON THAT ALBUM WAS RUDE BOY AND HARD. THATS IT…AND THE LACK OF SUCCESS OF HER OTHER SINGLES FROM THAT ALBUM PROVES IT.
LOUD IS A WAY BETTER ALBUM THEN RATED R.
RATED R AINT GOT S*** ON BORN THIS WAY
*SIPS TEA*
O WELL…
WELL ALWAYS HAVE MS GODNEY JEAN SPEARS……A.K.A.
*IT’S BRITNEY B*****!!!
LMAO!!
FEMME FATALE IN STORES NOW!
Rihanna’s album wasn’t sold for $0.99. It was sold for $3.99 and there was some kind of $3 discount that week on EVERYTHING.
If you wanna throw shade, do your homework.
Ps. 180,000 x 10 = 1,800,000.
Again. If you wanna throw shade, check your calculus first.
She wanted to break records by any means necesscary. Instead of letting her music do it for her she sold her album less than a dollar. Amazon sells account for half of her sells in da U.S. If it wasnt for da 99c burger promotion it WOULD NOT have sold a million copies in da U.S. *TRUST ME*
AND YEA AMAZON SOLD IT AT 99 CENTS, THATS NOT GAGA FAULT.
IF ANYONE BELIEVES THAT THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE ALBUM FOR 99 CENTS WOULDNT BUY HER ALBUM IF IT WASNT 99CENTS YOU’RE CRAZY.
OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE A SMALL PERCENTAGE WHO WOULDNT CUZ THEY CANT AFFORD IT BU UNLIKE MOST STANS, MONSTERS FULLY SUPPORT THERE MOTHER.
WHERE WERE U RIHANNA STANS WHEN SHE SOLD HERS FOR 99CENTS? OR WHEN SHE MADE HER CONCERT TICKETS $5? WHERE WERE U THEN?
A BISH DIED HER HAIR RED AND NOW ALL IF YOU WANNA CHANT “RIHANNA NAVY” WHILE WORSHIPPING A MODEL(A VERY GOOD ONE I MUST ADD) ….

Thank you Gaga.
Haters will be haters.
Come on if Beyonce or Rihanna or Britney did it they would be called out for doing this.
They would be called fraud and evertything under the sun by Gaga stans and haters.
Espeically Britney and Beyonce. People would have said they lost it and that their fave would not need to do it.
The 99cent thing attacts more buyers and 40% is quite a lot it is almost halve of her sales. And the fact that Amazon paid the remainder is not going to change it.
The question is: WOULD THE 40% WHO BOUGHT THE ALBUM BUY IT IF IT WOULD NOT BE FOR THE OFFER. AND THE FACT THAT SHE WOULD NOT HAVE SOLD 1MIL IF IT WOULD NOT BE FOR THE OFFER.
IT IS CHEATING. YOU CAN PUT IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
@LOLA I PUT UP SOME EXTRA CREDIT (MORE LINKS) FOR YOU BUT TGJ IS HOLDING IT FOR MODERATION
BUT AS ALWAYS IM A HELPFUL PERSON. GO TO GOOGLE AND TYPE IN “RATED R 99 CENTS” AND YOU’LL GET ALL THE ANSWERS

POINT IS IT WAS STILL SOLD FOR 99 CENTS…
NOW EXPLAIN WHY HER CONCERT TICKETS WAS $5? WAS THERE A PROMOTION ALL WEEK TOO?
I’LL WAIT……*SIPS TEA*
OH AND THE FACT THAT RIRI WAS SELLING HER CD FOR 3.99 IS STILL SAD MY DARLING
ANY ARTIST WHO DID THIS SHOULD BE CALLED OUT.
BILLBOARD SHOULD NOT ALLOW TEH 99 CENT ALBUM SALES TO BE COUNTED TOWARDS HER FINAL TALLY IN THEIR CHARTS.
99 CENTS??!!!! THOUSDANDS OF LADY GAGA FANS HAD THE ABILITY AND UTILISED THAT ABILITY TO DOWN THE ALBUM 6 TIMES AND MORE IN ORDER TO GET HER THOSE FIGURES.
I DON’T CARE WHO DID IT BEFORE!!!
THE TOTAL SHOULD NOT BE COUNTED!!
40% OF THOSE ALBUMS WERE SOLD FOR 99 F****** CENTS.
IT IS UNFAIR TO HAVE HER ALBUM CHART ABOVE ARTISTS WHO ARE SELLING ALBUMS FOR 6.99 ETC.
well when BeYAWNce’s camp sells “4” for 4 cents for 4 days yal harpies will be praising her for being the first artist to do so. EPIC. FLAWLESS. EPIC EPIC. WIGS SNATCHED. SLAYED. LEGENDARY. PRESSED HATERS

ITS THE PERFECT COMBO.
Haters are truly pathetics.
Oh, who f****** cares about this? Oh, that’s right, the HATERS doing everything they possibly can to downplay her well-earned success. You bunch of sad, miserable b******. I’m sure if it was YOUR fave that sold a million in their first week using the exact same methods, you’d be popping off at ANYONE questioning the validity of such an accomplishment. Sit the f*** down.
And the numbers aren’t going to define the lasting impact of this album. N* Sync sold twice that in their first week over a decade back with No Strings Attached, who even remembers that album apart from its commercial impact? *crickets* Yeah, exactly. It won’t matter if BTW sells poorly from this point on or stays consistent in sales, ultimately its impact will be the music itself, like all albums.
@ Yellow Gorrilah:
Oh, you mean you’re not here for numbers ONLY WHEN IT SUITS YOU, correct? Because everytime I see your comments, you’re always bragging about Rihanna’s chart stats and slaying other artists with her #1s. But now that Gaga has made your fave’s success seem damn near inconsequential by comparison and not even you can deny that, all of sudden numbers don’t matter, right? At least have the decency to stand by your position on something instead of flip-flopping when it’s to your advantage.
YOU HOLY FOOLS

@Sam —
To be fair (and I’m NO Lady Gaga fan, just a curious observer)..
Amazon made a VERY shrewd business decision. They have less than 14% of the digital download market (the lion’s share going to Itunes). What Amazon NOW has is a “captive audience” (of sorts) who NOW subscribes (initially for free) to Amazon’s “Cloud Service”, which was bundled with the $0.99 sale.
Just the ‘adspace’ ALONE, that Amazon can NOW sell to the different advertisers, will FAR-more than make-up for whatever discount they’d offered in that $0.99 sale!
(Sam, here, have a read: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/24/business/media/24gaga.html?_r=1)
Long-story short – When Amazon is done “data mining” all those ‘hundreds of thousands of NEW (Lada Gaga Fans as..) customers,’ it’ll prove a ‘Treasure Trove’ of/for marketing/(future promotional) data. That, along with the aforementioned “ad/banner space” they now sell to advertisers (resulting from those said, hundreds of thousands of her fans) will provide a windfall..!!
So yes, on the surface, it just may seem something like of a “diminishing/tarnishing/watering down” of her brand. But if you look just belove that facade, it’s a smart business more – on Amazon’s part!
(Oh, BTW, her label/team, I’ve read, didn’t know about “Amazon’s $0.99 decision.”)
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
Go Amazon for saling this record for what it’s worth. No disrespect to the hard work it takes to make a record but this should’ve been a mixtape by today’s standards. I’m just saying………:-)
ONLY GAGA WOULD SELL A PIECE OF S*** ALBUM FOR 99 CENT LOLOLOLOLOLOL

“LADY GAGA is original, do you see any artists before her wearing the wierd costumes, funny hair and make up?”
Any artist IN GENERAL or artists of this era who are mainstream pop?
Because if not the latter, then I’m gonna have to ask you if you just discovered music when you discovered Gaga.

THANKS uncle i mean AUNTY JACKIE!!!!
This is gibberish… I usually have to leave the Gaga post alone because I see the most delusion in them, but the fact that 440,000 brought an album for .99 doesn’t automatically mean it would have still be the same amount of purchases regardless of the price in that same time frame. I say Kudos to Gaga for selling so many record despite the extra Amazon sales, but this clearly wouldn’t have given her a record. I’m not surprised by this anyway, she’s always getting extra help – it’s just like the “debut” tour that’s been going on for 30 years … and the emphasis on pop #1’s all of a sudden. I don’t understand what kind of Queen she’s suppose to be! Still, I’ll congratulate her on having a #1, that’s the only thing I’m sure of when it comes to this woman’s success.

Congratulations Gaga.
I don’t know about the 0.99 offer, cause 40% is quite a lot, but if I like or even love an artist’s music I buy the album regardless the price.
I just love how the same dense haters are always in Gaga’s posts. They always have the most comments. So sad. And I can’t believe someone called TS a queen when she can’t even sing live. *Goes back to studying*

Seriously if your fav was selling their album for $.99
you wouldn’t complain….but showing that it sold so
much with the promo just shows how in demand Gaga is.
The ppl who bought it for $.99 were probably going to buy
it anyways..or were thinking about it….it’s not like she sold it
for $.99 and sold only 200K or sold 1 million all from the
promotion….Amazon knew that Gaga is in demand so don’t
be mad because they helped themsleves….and half of you
on here KNOW for a fact that if your fav sold their album for
$.99 for the whole WEEK they would still sell less than 300K
so please have a seat.
First of all, if you want to say that more people were inclined to purchase BTW album at the 99 cent price than Rated R when it was on sale at Amazon for that price, then, do that.
What you can’t say is that 40% of Rated R’s first week sales came from Amazon because not even 10% of the first week sales for Rated R came from that promo.
You’ll also have a hard time convincing anyone that BTW would have crossed the 1M mark without the Amazon promo. Taylor Swift and Britney are still the only two women who legitimately crossed that mark in one week in the US because their albums (Speak Now, OIDIA) retailed at full price.
Anyway, Gaga’s 1st week sales are still great without the promo. She would’ve shifted more units than SuBo debut album, first week sales, and that’s phenomenal!

Exactly, it’s the commenters throwing the shade, not Samantha. Rihanna was shaded plenty by commenters and Samantha and Trentisha alike over her Amazon promo, so all these Gaga stans catching feelings over the truth about how the Amazon promo artificially inflated her sales can have several seats.

@Auntie Jackie
http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/06/sm_ny_leery.gif
that’s sounds ridiculous.
Calling them queens just because their cd
was sodl full price….when Gaga’s was too !
ughh these haters just kill me these days.
We’ve alreayd addressed that T-Swift is country
and country always sells better….but Adele sold
under 300K in her first week…Gaga sold 700K
in her first week w/o the promotion….Susan Boyle
( a queen???) sold under 300K..once agian Gaga sold
700K…Beyonce has yet to come out with her new
album and theres no need to compare singles…
so if she sells over 700K in her first week
(which by the looks of her singles i doubt)
they yes she has accomplished something bigger
than Gaga in this era.
All in all just SIT…trying to downplay Gaga with
some FOOLISHNESS. Talking about all these ppl are
queens…..(Susan Boyle, Adele, & T-Swift)
COME ON…
PEOPLE…just face it….Gaga is the NEW Princess of Pop
Madonna is still queen…but in about 10 years Gaga
will take over that too..if you have anymore foolishness
to say(like what Aunt Jackie, Kyle, S***, Queen Bey Stan
and any of the other haters) just take a seat and calm
your damn self because this is a mess.
Gaga is the QUEEN!
@ BADD
Madonna has not done anything remotely interesting in 10 years
@Hudson
I know…but we still have to recognize her.
Or ppl will jump down out throats and call the Gaga
stans delusional.
@BADD
Listen,nobody is hating on Gaga.We all knew she will debut big regardless of the price of the album just like Lil wayne,Jay-z or Eminem will later this year.
But the 0.99 cent album price made the taste of the victory bad to many (U know bey stans and gaga’s ones are friends).But it’s a victory she had unfairly
seems like she did this just to cross the milli mark
———————————
Yes I am dissapointed by gaga using this gimmick to sell the album BUT SHE DID AND SHE SOLD 1 MILLI.
RIHANNA DIDNT EVEN SOLD THE QUARTER OF THAT
That’s the f*ckin truth
Now it’s too late,she already sold 2 milli in a week
hating wont change s***
NEXT
LMAO@ this post: a damn mess!
I really don’t mind her selling BTW for .99 cents. We’ve always complained once or twice of how expensive the music is. Times have changed and I think many singers/musicians will emulate this strategy in order to sell more copies.
I don’t think Amazon came up with the idea alone to sell the album in such low price, I do think Gaga’s PR team was involved — and it totally paid off.
However, she deserves her success. She better enjoys it!
2 million? …omg
If Taylor swift sold her album for 99 cent.. she’d sell 2 million in a week me thinks.. though tbh we all know Taylors music is worth more than 99cent:P
@KatDelunaFan….not really you but to whoever said
what you quoted.
Ummm how does it make the victory bad when the $.99
thing wasn’t her fault Amazon & Billboard both have articles
saying so which is why Billboard counted the sales.
She sold 700K + 1 million everywhere else in the world
without the promotion…so when ppl bring up the $.99
though it’s already been explained and she sold
700K w/o it….it sounds like dumb haters.
All this was so predictable. Remember when even before Xmas there was a fight of stans, some saying Britney or Beyonce would sell more?….lol It was so easy to predict Gaga was going to be the one. I´ve said it for so many months and finally the total fact is here. She slayed with the singles and with the albums. Not to mention with the music!
Also why are so many Beyonce and Chris Brown fans pressed? Don´t make me laugh. That boy showed us his d*** to sell his album. Plus the two of them can´t compete with the creativity and musical skills of Gaga. Can Chris even sing? He better stick to the dancing. And Bey has never made an album which can come close to Born This Way. Have u all heard the 3 singles she has offered?
Gaga+Adele= 2011 Queens
Alicia+Gaga+Adele= best artists emerged in the 00´s
Total queens and divas and musical genious with which the rest of nowadays crap can´t compete= Mariah, Whitney, MJ, Elton, etc…(yes those 2 are queens too lol) hell even Madonna is by far a better artist than all these nowadays crap artists fans hating on Gaga
@BADD
It makes the taste of victory bad because we had to explain s*** about this accomplishement.If she sold 700k it will be already 3 times more than what rihanna did with her last album (during xtmas time).
Now ppl we’ll remember the milli sale linked with the 0.99 $ promotion FOR EVER .UNFORTUNETLY
That’s the way it is *celine dion voice*
Um Sam, I think you need to work on your math a little bit. You said that 440k albums were purchased on Amazon. She sold 2 mil Worldwide this week.
440k is only 22% of 2 million. not 40.
The Amaazon deal was for the Us only. She sold 1.1 million in the states and 440k of those were from Amazon. 440k is about 40% of 1.1million.\
So Amazon accounts for 40% of her US sales but only 22% of her Worldwide sales.
If you take out all of the Amazon sales she still sold 1.56 million Worldwide in a week. But most of the people that bought it on Amazon still would have bought it at the whole sale pricee.
TO TRUE BLUE
i hardly ever comment on this site but i have got to ask. Who made you the moderator in this site? why do you have to counter over and over again people’s opinions? Its like you suffer from a superiority complex and a know all attitude.
She still would’ve sold about 700K without those 400K from Amazon, which still would’ve been the largest debut of 2011 and she still would’ve sold like another 750K internationally, which in 1 week, would’ve put her WW sales sales at over 1.5 million, most of the artists a lot people are mentioning in their comments have not sold anything close to 700K or 1.1 million in the first week or anything close 1.5 million or over 2 million WW in the 1st week. So there is really no point in Gaga responding to the controversy, she didn’t sell the album for .99 cents, Amazon did, and on top of that, Lady Gaga was expected to sell around 850K in the 1st week in the US and over 1.75 million WW before the Amazon deal was even announced, her promotion and marketing has been exceptional since January, so what’s make people think she wasn’t capable of selling large amounts by herself. Lady Gaga isn’t an artist who has to worry about 1st week sales, because’s she’s not a singles or radio artist. The Fame deuted like at #30 selling selling only 24K in the 1st week back in 2008 and has now sold nearly 13 million WW, The Fame Monster debuted at #5 back in 2009, selling only 170K in the 1st week and has sold 6 million WW, so once again, without Amazon selling Born This Way for .99 cents, she still would’ve sold well over 700K in the US and over 1.5 million WW in the 1st week. Anyway congrats Lady Gaga, Born This Way is easily going to be the highest selling album of 2011.
@ Linda:
If people say stupid/incorrect things, I have a right to set them straight, as do other people. It’s got nothing to do with superiority, because I’m not the one talking out of my ass.
If you don’t like it, you have the options of just not reading my comments.
raise your hand if ur think beyonce a** is gonna do the same thing next month……
but she not gonna sell it for 99c, shes gonna sell it for a dollar..
than her stans gonna be saying, well gaga did it, so beyonce can do it..
than her stans gonna say, shes only sellin it for a dollar, because she wants her fans to be able to afford it..
you know beyonce klepto a**, has to copy gaga
i’m i reading this s*** right?
the rihannna stans are on here talking s*** about the 99c?
really?
i guess yall should be mad since rihanna also sold her s*** for 99c and the bish couldnt even break 200k
@RATEDXXX, It’s not Beyonce’s call to make. A retailer would have to decide to front the cost of a promotion like that in order to sell it for 99 cent. I doubt anyone will want to do it considering she’s yet to get a hit from this record.
@ kyle…
‘serious came on brutal; but told the whole truth about about no talent britney! anyone who stans for a lip synching, stiff, robotic, no dancing, studio creation like britney has more than big ba!!s to criticise an artist who can sing (live), dance, writes their own songs etc.
it’s not about looks it’s about talent!!! there’s some days that britney falls way short in the looks department too! it’s nice to see her management whipped her into shape for her ‘ff’ promos.
btw, don’t forget the sales antic her promoters pulled by certifiying ‘ff’ platinum when it hadn’t even gone gold!!! should we call your ‘fake goddess’ a sellout????
@ Badd
It doesn’t take a paragraph to realize that Lady Gaga’s album had 40% of it’s sales because it was discounted. It’s a fact. She’s a great, successful artist but her DOMINATION is MANUFACTURED. I like her, so it’s YOU who needs to stop sipping stan koolaid and take a seat. Those Queens I mentioned aren’t just the aforementioned word because they weren’t discounted. All of those people are pop artists that sell to a wide audience that don’t manufacture faux domination. It’s that which makes them Queens. Honest representation of their success.
And the comment about Country selling better had me in stitches. T-Swizzle is a pop artist, she isn’t Lady Antebellum. She appeals to all audiences, that’s why she sells so much. Same thing Gaga, Bey, Britney, Adele and all of them try to do. Appeal to EVERYONE. That’s what makes it Pop–Duh. Stop seeing only what you want to see.
Can all the pressed gay men stop arguing which artist is “Queen” or “God.” None of them are.
Albums aren’t selling these days. If your fav really cared about you, they would have found a way to get their album into your hands. I’m not a Gaga fan and this album was CRAP, but she’s a smart business woman. Stop hating.
@Aunt Jackie
Can you please read my other post. It was not 40% of her ww sales
I don’t give a flying f*ck about Lady Caca Newbie Clown Alien. I also don’t give a sh*t about her sales or chart positions on Itunes.com
I am so bored with this boring pianist and her ugly voice.
NEXT, NEXT, NEXT!
I am SO READY to hear the media talk about other things, other then Lady Caca this and Lady Caca that.
*** raises hand*** I bought the album ONLY because it was 99cents. The only songs I like by Lady Gaga are Telephone ( with Beyonce), Pokerface, and Born this way. The album was crap. But I figured hey If I get Born This Way off Itunes it’s 1.29, I can get the entire album for 99 cents. I save 30 cents and maybe there will be another good song….. sadly there wasn’t. Only reason I like Born this way is because it’s a Madonna rip off of Express Yourself and I love that song. So NO Lady Gaga wouldn’t have sold over 1 million in the US. plenty of people bought it because it was cheap.
@nichole
The album leaked. You could have gotten the songs for free
YES YES YES !!!!!
LADY GAGA THE FASTEST SELLING ARTIST IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!!
WOWWWW People are pathetic……I SEE FAKE ASS KYLE ON HERE MAKING BRITNEY STANS LOOK STUPID AND QUEERBEYONCESTANN MAKING HIMSELF LOOK STUPID……When are y’all EVER going to give this girl credit????(same question goes. to Sam hating on rihanna)
She’s been been to school ECONOMY OF SCALE loool
Total b*******. Her label worked out a deal with amazon to discount her album to sell as many as possible. Remember they shipped out over 2 million units to outlets. They had a plan… Why would amazon lose millions of dollars for lady gaga? Think about it. If the album costed say $10..400k units would have made $4 million dollars while selling them for 99¢ would only make $400 thousand.. No company other than a company invested in her would take that risk. They didn’t buy those copies and sell them for discounted price, they were told to sell them for a discounted price in a negotiation and were also paid off to shut up about it. Wake up little monsters.
EEEWWWWW CLEARLY A 99 CENT FLOP
So even without Amazon, she still would’ve sold 670K in the first week, just in the US, because I have a friend who’s studying abroad in Liverpool and she said the album was not 99 cents in the UK, so I am starting to think, it was only 99 cents in the US, not internationally. But what’s funny is that Amazon always sells album for 0.99, 1.99 and 2.99 all the f****** time. Rated R was sold for 0.99 and only sold 180K, I Am… Sasha Fierce was sold for 2.99 and only sold 480K, Circus was sold for 2.99 and 500K, so even without Amazon, Born This Way still would’ve sold nearly 700K in the US and over 1.7 million WW in the first week. The only reason people are even coming at Lady Gaga is because she sold over 1 million, now I can bet money that if Britney Spears, Rihanna, Beyonce, Alicia Keys or Taylor Swift’s album were on sale for 0.99 cents, they all would’ve sold over 1 million copies too. I guess people forgot that Taylor Swift’s Speak Now album was on sale for 1.99 on Amazon and those sales accounted for 275K of her 1.05 million.
@born with a d***
You gotta spend money to make money. Amazon wanted to advertise their sound cloud s*** and music library. They wanted to keep up with itunes. They lost a little money in hopes to bring in more clients. They will end up making more money than they lost. losing 3 mill can help them make 10 times that if they play their cards right
@ Yo
What were you saying to me? I’m not sure which post you mean….
@YoYo
THANK YOU
wow u on Gaga’s d*** lol.. Im glad the black ppl are accepting her now and not just Nicki Minaj
so what?
still The Queen of $0.99 cents.
LOL
Hahaha..
Bottomline, there are lots of stupid people in the world who bought this crap. This is what this number says. I don’t care if it sold for .99 or whatever, you can just see how stupid the little mons..ooops, little cretins are. And that’s a fact.
Hasn’t Lady Caca admitted to lying constantly?
So, yeah. Never believe anything she has the say. Always assume the opposite if true.
Lady Caca says she’s not manufactured. Well I say she is extremely manufactured. A puppet for the people who control her and her label.
Either a great strategy or a manipulation tool. She isn’t the first to do something like this and won’t be the last. As a stan for the Diva’s Diva Miss Mariah Carey we’ve been through several of such scandals where other diva stans where having hysterectomy inducing rages. Is it fair? That’s depends on who you ask. Is it smart? Maybe. Check back in a month or 2 and see if she can sustain the sales.
