How do they know?

well it's billboard. it's obvious the song will sell big just based on the hype and promo.

not to mention that it's actually almost premiering on itunes. yeah, it will be on the radio 3 hours later but everyone will be sleeping anyway

If it's true that anyone who's ever bought Lady Gaga music on iTunes is getting an email tomorrow about Born This Way... that helps a lot.

Tmw early am, Im told iTunes email alerts every person to ever buy @ladygaga music at apple, to promote the new single. #billboard

1st time Apple has used this approach.

THIS is what I think they were working on together.

If the auto-email turns out to be true then this whole three day release all of the sudden makes perfect sense. Sneaky bastards they are.

[MrPeanut]

I wonder if that e-mail is global or just for the U.S.

Still, there's a very real difference in degree between "selling well" and having sales on this magnitude.

[Forevermore]

Sales tracking ends Monday at 12 right? lol

[Nicole]

I wonder just how much it will help. People who don't plan on buying something aren't likely to buy it by having it shoved in their faces.

This will be a test. Always an innovator of her time.

Unicorn Gaga is about to make history!!

[Bad Wolf]

I just can't at every person who's ever purchased a Lady GaGa song getting an Apple iTunes e-mail alert about the "Born This Way" release.

That's at least 10 million people

So whats the required number of sales needed for her to hit number 1 assuming she has radio airplay similar to or better than HIAM?

500K in 3 Days?



It's possible. Between stans, iTunes e-mail and the Grammy promotion -- but I just don't see it happening. GaGa is big, but she isn't 500K in 3 Days big ----------- is she?

Ultimately, we'll need to hear the track.

[Jennifer]

She's gonna debut at #1 on the Hot 100, almost guaranteed. If she sells like anything above 230k + the 50 million+ AI she'll have by then, she's basically guaranteed it.

I think a more reasonable # for the first 3 days would be 300k, but who knows with GaGa. I've never seen hype like this.

Damn, the queen is coming and she coming for those legendary records.

[ifyouseekLEM]

The email will help, but like Nicole said -- if you didn't plan to buy the track like us, odds are you aren't going to buy the track at all -- or at least until it grows on you.

****, when I see iTunes e-mails, I just delete them.

[Vertigo Stick]

If there's any star today that could, it is Gaga. I'm still skeptical though! I mean....that's a lot! She has 200k down for sure, but the other 300k? Well, she does have 60 minutes and the Grammy's. So maybe that'll boost her. I don't know about 500k, but I think she can at least get 300k.
