Jazz albums aren't like normal albums. With a normal Gaga era you'd expect the pre-album singles to sell out the album by a lot, but Jazz fans are usually an older audience who either prefer to own music physically, or they simply have to because they don't have a PC/laptop. I don't see why anyone's concerned, since like you all are saying, it outpeaked TLIAT.
It also sold 5,000 more than G.U.Y. which is quite a feat considering the video for that now has 50+ million and was promoted a lot on radio and a few TV performances. I think she's doing great this era and I look forward to seeing what success the album will bring. At the end of the day, it's not going to harm her net worth or her image at all, it'll improve her standing with the public a lot so we shouldn't be worried.
I just expected Gaga + Tony fans would buy a lot more than just 16,000 copies of a Gaga song, let's not pretend that it's a lot when it's a good song with better vocals and production than over half of the songs on Gaga's last two albums. There's nothing wrong with me for just expressing my disapointment over the sales numbers and saying just once I expected them to sell more
