I guess people were buying the albums

You and I didn't do well outside of the US and Marry the Night is a known underperformer. Not that surprising.

d;

it's sold around 800k in the US too without ever charting there.

What surprised me the most is Applause and DWUW selling around the same.

the edge of glory better come through

Didn't it peak inside of the top 10? I swear it peaked #8 or 9.

It reached #9 after the pre-order instant grat ended. If it was allowed to chart straight away, it would have debuted at #10.

Poker Face Always Wins

i thought PF and JD had sold more tbh

not exactly

from 1.03M to 1.034M (in 11 months)

DWUW had probably actually outsold applause, it's just during the first 3/4 weeks it was released it was ineligible to chart because it was classed as an instant grat track, so it's officially lost out on around 80k sales

Not much additional sells the past few years.
