Fair enough, but Gaga has not only one or two, but three songs discounted on iTunes. The numbers are not great, they are just a result of three songs being discounted.

Yes because we all know people run out in stampedes to buy songs when they're on sale.

The songs we boosted by the discounts, but they would have been successful regardless. There are plenty of songs in the lower positions that are on sale and are not #1 on iTunes. The surge in Gaga's sales were due to promo, artist reputation, song strength, and the discount all together. If you actually think the discount is the only playing factor you're biased as ****.

Not Avenged Sevenfold not debuting at #1

Decent #s, but ANTI did 96k second week.

With a huge first single on radio. Gaga currently doesn't have a single on the radio.

Girl, I expected more from this era. She was/performed everywhere earlier including Grammys, Oscars, SuperBowl, Golden Globes, AHS, Billboard's Woman of the Year, Emmys etc etc. It's not like she's on the same level as Rihanna or Ariana Grande (I mean, she's way bigger than both).

Sis, she's on the other side of the world and she has no song doing well on radio or Spotify and not bad on iTunes. If you honestly expected better when all of us predicted ~100K in just the first, then ok

This was a BIG change in sound for her and all that early promo was just image change stuff. IT HAD NOTHING to do with Joanne or its era, why do y'all insist on still bringing that up? It's nice and topped most other albums and all but 1 female album this year.

but she had discounted all 3 singles promoting her album so it's kinda irrelevant

I think this is a healthy drop for a 2nd week, SPS-wise..... but the pure sales numbers aren't good.

The haters grasping at straws at this point.
She WON and will continue winning.
I cannot wait to see how yall react when the era is all said and done and she gets a platinum certification for this album. The meltdowns will be iconic.

As a proud OGH , I can tell you that you shouldn't celebrate too early.
Her pure sales numbers are not good.

She has 2 songs (ok not 3 discounted in the second week), she always sells fast and falls from the face off the earth very quickly, so I have nothing to worry about as an OGH.

It'll only get better as Million Grammys continues to gain radio and sales. You'll all keep losing .

OT: Congrats to the Top 5.
