Update: Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Will Sell 1.15 Million in Its First Week, Billboard Projects
By Ed Christman (@edchristman) with Billboard staff
Billboard projects that Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" will debut with first-week sales of at least 1.15 million units, far outpacing earlier projections, thanks to explosive sales at Amazon, which priced the album at 99 cents for two days this week. This would make it the biggest debut since 'NSYNC's "Celebrity" in 2001, which bowed with 1.88 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
I really wanted to see her sell over 1.3+ Million albums to beat out Britney for all time highest debut in first week, but I guess we'll have to wait for the next album for that....Either way, great numbers and I hope this album has longevityyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
