Gaga fans doing the most AS ALWAYS. You just can't help but bash others artists in order to feel better right?

And it's true, Japan Itunes is irrelevant, Recochoku is the real deal there. That doesn't make Gaga a flop but it's true.

Actually Japan became the biggest music market last year.

Get your ass out of a Gaga success thread. Obviously we're going to be defensive when the intent of this thread is to praise her. BYE.

"Usually an album that remains at the top spot on Japanese iTunes for a week sells 30K copies "

Well , given the fact that Gaga has two albums in the top 3 [#1 and #3] is not so irrelevant .
Anything from 10k to 30k in Japanese iTunes is not irrelevant sis.

thanks!

That 30k figure is a shot in the dark, digital sales are so hard to track. They're always just a bunch of estimations and ****. The easiest way to look at digital sales is RIAJ and I'm not even sure how to get those for non-Japanese artists tbh. iTunes is ultimately irrelevant, especially since the main Japanese chart doesn't even track digital sales.

Her & Nicki are slaying!

Empress.

I see what you did there




congrats gaga! and this is just off word of mouth and paparazzi because it's not like she did any televised performances or interviews or anything

that kind of slayage can easily move 10-20 k in a week [if it remains on #1 and #3]

I understand why someone would think this is bait but it's 100% true.

No denying her popularity there, though.

Avril remains the Queen of Asia.

ITunes as we speak .

On the singles chart Born This Way blasted its way to #4 [and #40 , #43 ,3 versions are charting]

The album remains on the #1 and #3 spots for its 3rd day , while it occupied the top 3 for five days now. Sales figures are expected to be massive.
