Sounds legitimate.I was expecting her to do anywhere between 300k-425k.
And are people really surprised with this? You have to be living in early 2011 to call this disappointing.She's not extra-ordinarily big anymore,for the millionth time.

It's a natural decline though... In general, most artists' opening weeks decline with each new album.

370k is an amazing number... especially when most albums by other stars can't even sell that much in a year...

Uhmm ok

Beyoncè 2nd album 541k
Beyoncè 3rd album 482k

Britney 2nd album 1.3mil
Britney 3rd album 745k

Taylor 2nd album 592k
Taylor 3rd album 1.050 mil

Katy 2nd album 192k
Katy 3rd 287k

Pink 2nd album 220k
Pink 3rd album 157k

Gaga 1.1 to 375k

Y'all are jumping the ''flop'' ship way too soon. I don't like Gaga myself either, but I doubt she'll only sell around 375k. She's been doing really well with just iTunes + Amazon preorders. I think she'll move above 400k, maybe even close to 500k. I could be so wrong, though. Either way 375k is still impressive for someone who isn't as big as they used to be. She isn't gonna be overly super famous at all times.

You guys are so stupid. She basically sold around 700,000 without the amazon deal with Born This Way. The decline isn't as big as you guys hoped it would be.Bookmark me,but her longevity will probably help her match Prism's overall sales. And if that doesn't happen,most of us still know who makes the quality music

Great. Those predictions will grow

LOL at those talking about how declining is bad. It's like saying earning $100 and then $200 is better than earning $1 million and then declining to $500k.

Highest first week female sales prediction BEFORE promo and people are still trying to drag

Mess at the hypcrisy.

People used to bring up the amazon deal to bash Gaga saying that she only sold 1.1 million because of the deal.

Now the numbers are roughly the same that BTW sold without the deal after a flop era and medium hit lead single and people are saying she's flopping???

Mess,

I can't at the hypocrisy on this forum.

Katy Perry, the "biggest star in the world" right now, with an absolute blockbuster of a massive hit (roar) moves 287k = That's pretty damn good for a singles artist!!!

Lady Gaga, the "flop who's career is over" with a mediocre top 10 hit (Applause) is predicted to move 375k = HORRIBLE!!! Karma for the monstas!!!

TBH

Some of the posts in here are absolutely disgusting. The blood thirsty Kats and other fan bases running in here to drag Gagas opening week sales relentlessly as if her numbers are not better than Katy/Rihann/Miley and any other pop girl of relevance who has recently released an album.

I hope this mess does not happen when Taylor releases her next album. The attitude towards music sales and on ATRL can be truly sickening at times.

Thank god we still have to wait almost a year for that. the meltdowns and the drags if she doesn't open with at least 1 mill.

Mess,

Born this Way sold 660,000 without the deal. If the predictions hold true, that'll be a big difference.

Mess,

There's a huge difference between 650k without the Amazon deal and then going down to 375k.

The numbers are weak but I predicted around 350k to 450k so it sounds abut right. She'll probably sell a little more than that. Only thing that will hurt ARTPOP in the long run will probably be the lack of hit singles. Her team really needs to push DWUW.

So now the 1.1M debut (w/ Amazon discount) is valid. The hypocrisy.

She'll do fine and better than you think + probably biggest first week by a female artist of the year again.

Not mine sorry. She did 1,208,000 last year about this time.

But I guess this is decent. Little Monsters laughed a bit too early though

Lady Gaga, whose 2011 Interscope set Born This Way bowed with 1.1m, gets an asterisk in the record book thanks to a 99-cent price point (see below); it’s sold 2.3m so far.

She'll never live this down
