lies.

BTW was as big as Rolling in the deep in 2011 according to IFPI (both sold 8.2M)

We'll see how much will DH sell this year, let alone that IFPI now include streaming in their numbers.... which means that even Roar sold less than BTW WW (it was 9.9M with streaming, probably less than 8.2M pure downloads).

Mess. Didn't RITD sell 8 million in the US alone that year? Dark Horse clearly has had more longetivity around the globe than BTW.

Roar and DH alone beat that forgotten album.

Lol no! ARTPOP debuted higher WW than PRISM, and it was more anticipated, it's a shame that the media was against Gaga and wanted her to fall.

Nope! PRISM hasn't damaged Katy's career with the GP like BTW did with Gaga.

Err what? Roar sold 8.5M alone from like 5-6 countries since IFPI counts streams now then Roar's sales will be underestimated it's well over 10M and probably around 11M-12M.

Let's not even get into the streams.

Prism was more successful.

Roar (overall) > Born This Way
Unconditionally (it's platinum) > Judas
Dark Horse > The Edge Of Glory
Birthday < You & I
This Is How We Do (will outsell Marry The Night and it's video is vevo certified.) > Marry The Night

Yeah after the Grammys... RITD sold quite a lot in January and February, it even went top 5 on Hot 100 after the Grammy performance....

I mean this is the receipt so argue with IFPI, not with me..

page 7, you're welcome.



It was at 9.9M Streaming + Sales according to IFPI, the fact that you think it's at 11-12M pure sales (excluding streaming) just shows your delusion. Although it's definitely 10M+ by now (sales)





BTW 7M > PRISM 3.5M

You forgot this small fact.
