Its different because when it comes i a form of a app, her fans can interact on the app, share things and be part of a fan based community ON the app. It's not exactly targeted at the world market of music listeners :) We all know how she likes to forward her creativity to her fans (regardless of haters), so maybe she's using the app to put some of her ideas into a compact place!? This album will sell more than Katy Perry's PRISM and other significant albums that are going to be released this year, as her albums always do, so I guess it deserves the app concept. Personally I believe she sells albums because she is the best entertainer/female artist around at this time. I'm not a fan, but I've seen artists come and go over the many years, and I KNOW the ones which will be impossible to get rid of :) Gaga's a keeper! Guess we do have a new Madonna.. And its pretty guessable how her album sales will be counted through the app. Its exactly the same as how they know how many times an app has beeb downloaded or purchased. ;)
