I can understand why Born This Way was not as massive as The Fame or Fame Monster, because Born This Way pushed people's buttons especially the buttons of , Beiber, Perry, Rihanna, & Britney fans . Born this way is a very sophisticated album that had a production standard that you just dont hear within the modern homogenized SAFE pop music market today. It said in this billboard blog that Born This Way has sold 5.4 million copies worldwide but interscope records reported back in december 2911 that BTW album sales are in excess of 8 million copies W.W.........thats over 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD A MONTH EVERY MONTH SINCE IT'S RELEASE .....UMMMMM THAT IS STILL A SHIT LOAD OF RECORDS EITHER WAY!!!!!! Just like Adel's 21 album with is sold loads as well......
