440,000 copies of "Born This Way" were bought at $0.99.

It's not that surprising, really.

We're the pop music forum, and we have one of the most active alternative pop fanbases I've seen.

Billy can you help Unapologetic debut over 1 million in US just like you did for the rest of the pop gurls

Bill I've been a Billboard reader for years! You must have so many industry friends! How about a record deal for me??

I just asked, actually.
The 440,000 refers to the 440k albums Gaga sold at 99c, bringing her total down to 600 and whatever K.

Thank you for that! I wasn't aware where the deduction was coming from, thank you for taking the time to explain.

That is so funny.

Maybe he saw it on twitter or tumblr.

This thread turns into a promotion thread.

Can you make Psy disappear from the Hot 100?
Make a new rule that non-English songs cannot chart, if and only if it's a good song.

Bill, boo, take digital sales out of the ****ed-up genre charts and make airplay weigh less on the HOT 100.

This. Worst change in history of Billboard and I ain't even Brandy or Carrie Underwood stan (as I remember those were your only excuses Bill)

OOPS. Just got it, didn't quite understand the color scheme of the GIF, but after watching it on loop for over 5 minutes it made more sense to me. Thank you to all who explained it a little better to me.

And to Bill - Can you please get JoJo's "Demonstrate" on the charts?...

Jeiboy

Could them other forums dew it?

Duca

I think I understand the new airplay rule but an explanation from him or another Billboard affiliate would be perfect.
