To me, she's never been good at selling singles so fast either. It always seemed as though she sold good amounts spread over. She never seemed a Britney or Taylor type who go and sell buckets first week.

BR never did this did it?

It sold 145K first week (I think), went #1 digitally for a couple of weeks in late November - early December (selling 180-200K at that time, about), then its biggest sales week was Christmas week with somewhere inbetween 400-450K.

it is strange, but I would trust BMI more.

I wonder why BMI doesn't list him. Or maybe Billboard's just wrong. Which could ofc be more possible.

I think 500K would be more realistic

Exactly. This is so rare for her, but incredible.

That's why I found it strange.

no. it's a danish songwriter-producer. he is 33 years old.. but i find strange that none is talking to him and he doesn't tweet about born this way...
also i can't believe he is listed as a second producer... i'm sure garibay was the major producer after gaga

in the itunes info there isn't this person...and he was removed from wikipedia

Lady GaGa's popularity has soared tremendously since the release of Bad Romance, it didn't get off to the best start but there was a number of reasons behind that. Paparazzi was popular at the time, and also the song did not have instant appeal to the casual listener. It was most definitely a grower, once the video was release many people were won over by it. I've said on numerous occasions that we cannot reference Bad Romance when it comes to measuring GaGa's selling power, BTW is her first true test and she's performing extremely well. We have to remember that GaGa is still a relatively new artist, since the release of TFM she's been building her fanbase. I think this release has cemented her status, and has shown the world just how popular she has become. I don't understand the logic that so many people used when making predictions for BTW's sales, many presumed that because Bad Romance got off to a lack-lustre start that BTW would too. GaGa's days of having slow-burners are over, her future singles can be expected to be far more front-loaded, as will her albums.

As long as they're not front-loaded followed by trail off.
