FYI .. majority of those people who want to buy the album will still buy it. You'll deal with it.
Does she really need a 1m debut anyway ? we're happy with 650k.
#1 for 6th week ? zzz .. country road version didn't even sold 1000 copies on that week. Are you mad ?
nothing else to pinpoint so you dig out every single thing Gaga has done so far and try to convince people that all the things she did was tricky ? Nice try but FAILED.
What keep her above ET was physical sales + streaming points
Without singles, half the general public wouldn't know about Gaga.
Rihanna's music is comparable to Nina Sky so for her to go to #2 a year later on her first single says whole lot, especially against the biggest song of the decade. Bennie Man still had moderate hits previous to Rihanna's debut. I see you didn't address Sean Paul who still was having massive Dancehall hits, including a top 10 with Rihanna in 2006 that didn't even need a video. And for the record, the urban scene was still fairly relevant until 2007.
