MDNA finished 2012 with 1.6M, pretty sure it's around artgrave's number now

C2C, like all of Gaga's albums, sells more physical copies than digital

At her peak, she sold digitally and physically



in ARTPOP she was bad at both



C2C, flopping digitally but selling great physically and it's obviously tony's old audience power

MDNA sold more

and ARTPOP has sold 2.5 million WW

[slobro]

MDNA shipped 1.8m according to the IFPI so the actual sales are far less, so MDNA selling as much as ARTPOP is as statistically impossible as Katy's tour gross

Literally all albums sell more physically than digitally except BEYST. Physical retailers will always sell better than Itunes. Doesn't change the fact that its digital performance was suspiciously way weaker than its physical performance.

I'm sure it shipped more since then, her numbers are around Gaga's numbers, they sold the same



It's interesting because in 2012 Monsters were calling it a flop and now Gaga is pulling the same numbers with triple the effort

He didn't..

Duets 2 (also featuring Gaga) and C2C are his most successful albums and his only #1 albums

I left My Heart In San Francisco surpassed gold status though
And his MTV unplagged went platinum
And didn't duets have Amy? Who is bigger in the jazz community?

I know you aren't bragging when that album almost got Rihanna dropped from her label.

She wasn't though and came back even harder with her subsequent albums
Music of the Sun is the best selling reggae/dancehall album by a female this millennium

[slobro]

Yes I'm sure they shipped more copies even tho MDNA stopped charting long before that IFPI report

[2AM]

ARTPOP and C2C flopped

[Lord Blackout]

A big chunk of the sold MDNA copies were bundled with the tour, so the whole "shipped to stores" mentality doesn't work here.
It outsold ARTPOP.

Wait...

Amy's duet charted on Billboard Hot 100

Amy's duet won a Grammy

so basically half of that album's success is due to Amy not Gaga? wowow all these lies they were feeding us

You're comparing sales from the 90s and older to a 2014 album..

C2C is the #29 best-selling album of the year, that Unplugged album wasn't even in the top 100 of 1994
C2C was obviously way bigger relatively speaking.. C2C and Duets 2 are also by far his most global albums

[slobro]

The Lady is A Tramp has more Youtube views than his duet with Amy (and is his most viewed video). Since Youtube views are soooo important and indicative according to a certain stanbase, it's clear that Gaga sold that album.

C2C was bigger than Mtv unplugged yet the latter sold over a million copies in the U.S alone and earned him an album of the year award
Plus you had said previously that duets II and C2C were his biggest albums
And Amy's collab actually charted unlike The Lady is a Trump
Regardless of the conditions y'all are clinging to, Tony has sold more than C2C and Gaga hasn't added anything whatsoever to his already established legacy

Let's ignore the fact that Duets 1 was released in September 2006 and ended with 1.7M

Tony Bennett - Duets: An American Classic
RPM / Columbia - 1.682.000 copies

It's much more global and also sold well over the Christmas season which also proves Tony's Holiday power!

PS: it also sold more than C2C and Duets 2 in the first week!

and don't use the "it was 2006 not 2011/2014!" excuse

Yeah, 3 million more views only because of her fanbase



Amy's duet charted in the Top 40 in a few major European countries, charted in the US and a won grammy

give it up
