People need to stop mentioning that Gaga is an albums artist. Don't even act like there's not a chance both could have similar sales this time around. Katy even has the chance to have similar or even bigger debut sales than Gaga at this point.

Do you know the REAL sales for BTW? I don't buy that album sold 8 to 10 million like some deluded little monsters say.

Yes there's a rolling effect. Ask Madonna lol GMAYL had a HUGE rolling effect & her charting position suffered from it.

With your example, you're saying that if Katy got 50 million Audience Impressions and then the next day lost 10 million Audience Impressions she would still be at 50 million Audience Impressions?!?!?!? THE DELUSION!

She had a radio deal for 7 days. She will have to deal with 3 days of the rolling effect for this weeks airplay. Still, even with that rollback effect I firmly believe Katy can dethrone "Blurred Lines" on sales alone... kinda like Carrie Underwood dethroned "We Belong Together" during WBT's radio gridlock!

It sold 6,7 million in its first year and sold about 100k copies in 2012 in Japan alone so it's probably around 7,3 or 7,5 million now while Teenage Dream should be around 6,5 million.

6,700,000 + 100,000 = 7,300,000

the flop maths


TD sold 6M and 300k this year in US and i don't see the kats claiming she has sold 7.5M

He clearly meant that BTW sold 100k just in Japan so with the other countries WW it should be around 7.3 mil.

Ugh I can't @ this stans sometimes.
