She will go gold for sure IMO.
Poker Face already is starting to become a hit and that will keep the sales consistent so hitting 500k will take time but she'll get there, only 300k short with sales being higher then before.
If she will go on 5 singles and they all do well I can see her ending up with over 700k and if she'll go Rihanna style, aka, re-release + new songs and singles then she will end up moving more then 1m compies IMO.

I think it's safe to say Lady GaGa can go Gold with the success of Just Dance and Poker Face, but I'm not too sure about Platinum.

Maybe she will go gold but she`s a singles artist and it will take a lot for her to go gold

Well, GaGa would need 5 succesful singles in order for her to reach the 700k mark and nothing guarantees that the other singles will have the same success...but she's doing great though

Back in 2003 ...Baby One More Time was up to 10,472,878 its probably over 10,500,000 by now.
While Norah is at 10,449,678.
2 great albums anyways.

You didn't read my comment correctly. I said that by the end of this year, CAWM will surpass BOMT in sales. BOMT is currently at 10,540,000 and Norah's only got 90k left to surpass it. Norah is still selling a couple thousand copies a week, while BOMT has sold less than 10k each year for the last several years so chances are that Norah will overtake Britney by years-end (which will place her as the 11th best-selling album of the SoundScan era).

 I wasn't expecting that!
It's true though, BOMT is far from being Brit's best, but truth be told I prefer BOMT over CAWM.

umm, i think the fame could DEFINITELY go platinum. she is still on the rise from the success of just dance and will probably be in the top 10 soon. once poker face becomes a huge hit and hopefully goes number one she will probably fly past gold and platinum. and who knows what will happen if she gets to release starstruck, lovegame or another single.

If Gaga sold JUST 15k every week for the rest of the year, her album would add on another 750k, leaving it at 950k overall.
However, she's bound to sell way more than 15k for a lot of the year. She's got tons of possible singles, and could seriously keep this album in the top 20-30 of the charts for MONTHS.
Platinum isn't that far-fetched of an idea. Gold is basically for sure.

Flo Rida's album debuted and PLUMMETED. And never picked back up despite "Elevator" or "In The Ayer". Gaga is picking back up still based on "Just Dance", and since the album is on low sale in most stores (about $8-$9) and it's getting great promotion it will be bought. "Poker Face" will only add to it's consistency during the low sales month.
It'll be like Katy's album I believe. I didn't think she would sell, but here she is close to PLATINUM with just a couple more hit singles.

BOMT is a filler-fest if you put the singles aside, however; CAWM (what a weird comparison  ) is a fantastic album from A to Z. But I prefer "Not Too Late" over it.

Yeah, it's a little under 2.3 K, it will reach 2.5 K but I doubt 3 million. But worldwide I think it will get to 8 million plus...

I think it could reach 3x platinum by the end of the year if she wins another grammy and if her sales stay consistent

GGGB isn't slowing down, no reason why it wouldn't hit 2.5m, esp' since Rehab isn't dead yet.
