or two

Probably the app fiasco.

Impossible.

let me perch

All of the above.

I voted for all, wouldn't put anything past her

I'm 99% sure it's impossible unless Applause is the biggest hit ever, in history.

But if it did happen, 3 month preorder would be her method of "cheating." And I'm sure one idiot or two would say she "cheated" with the app, which makes no sense--the very point of artists releasing app albums is to change the format of an album.

The APP is free so how will they use that ?

They'll try to use the 3 months pre order but It will be really weak and flop shade so I guess they won't have anything to use against Gaga .. .

I'm here for that and for the Monsters clocking them with the facts that a) 1m due to pre-orders just proves how big of a fanbase she has that love her and are sure that she will deliver and thus caused them to buy the album and b) that is exactly the reason why those copies would've been sold regardless of the pre-order

Wait she is doing a 3 month pre-order. The desperation. Trying to be iconic by cheating. Oh Gaga

According to highly respected music website pawsdownlittlemonsters, Billboard will announce the first week sales that Gaga pays them to tell.

All three of those things make no sense.

Cheating with the app sales... As confirmed, you must buy the full album within the app for it to count, so it's a true, legitimate sale.

Cheating with Little Monsters massive promo... Sorry Monsters are better than your fave's fanns.

Cheating with 3 months of pre-orders... So many artists put their albums out for pre-order months in advance.

Cheating with a Billboard rule... What BB rule? As long she follows the rules, it's legitimate.

Most likely Swag, PawsDown, etc. will be like, "She bought the albums herself!"
