In 2011 Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Lady Gaga earned a seat at a very exclusive table when her album, ‘Born This Way,’ sold over 1 million copies its first week.  Yet, while many celebrated the historic feat, others scoffed and scorned when reports revealed the album would’ve sold significantly less had it not been discounted to $.99 for a brief period of time during its premiere week.
