BTW sales were frontloaded and there was an uncomparable hype for its release. This is a normal release ala The Fame/Monster, these numbers are alright. Look at Gaga's openning numbers for The Fame and The Fame Monster and y'all see...
I thought the rest of the world wouldn't be here for her, after "Applause" was only/mainly used in the States. Glad they backed her up during album release week with the 295k!
Wow. I would have imagined there would be a lot bigger gap between Taylor and Gaga outside US seeing as one of them is global and other local. 250k versus 295k.
Are we forgetting 'ARTPOP' was on sale for $5.99 on MULTIPLE retailer sites? I think it'd be considerably less than 611k if it had only counted the full-priced copies.
