Born this way peaked at number three in the UK but it's only because it had 1.5 days of sales. she did 60k in less than two days!

True tea. She was silly not to release on the intended date, but that makes her 1wk female record in the US easier to break with Judas

Very dependant. And it's not underperforming much, it's sticking around in the top 10 and its sales were over 30k this week, that's great for the 6th week.

The tea is spilling everywhere tonight. If she did one teeny-weeny bit of promo, she'd skyrocket. She just needs to perform the song to prove its quality. The same happened with Bad Romance. Before XF, it was looking like it would only peak in the Top 5...

We have to be spoon-fed everything in the UK.

This. If it had a full week it would have gone #1.
Yall need to Relax

It would have gone #1 with 140k with NO promo!! Cheryl Cole, "nation's sweetheart", went to #1 with 'Promise This' with 155k after an XF performance!!

!!! If they do sell that amount then they'll practically save the industry with this album

I was so scared when BR debuted at #14.

They won't achieve it. What's exciting is that if they hope to sell 30M, they must have one hell of marketing blitz in mind. Could she do 10M?

Honestly, it's ****ed up.

I know I may be pissed off about the Bad Romance situation, but I really think a sales-only chart is dull. It means the #1 every week can be predicted using popbars. It's so dull. The BBHot100 is so much more exciting...

I'm interested to see what their plan is to break into the larger untapped markets. Will she be making Asia her bitch?

IKR? I think she must have something major planned. They wouldn't just quote 30M without backing it up...

I predict 8M in 2011. But I was being reserved... I hope she breaks 10M this year and does 20M by the end, with a re-release...

Troy Carter. That's another one I like.

Ugh, I just hope this isn't shooting themselves in the foot. Like, I don't even know how reasonable it is to expect BTW to be matching TF/TFM. It is a huge deal to sell 10m WW nowadays, and TF/TFM may end up being the best-selling album worldwide since 2002.

[Allstar]

Maybe the other songs are so groundbreaking that they think she can sell 30M.
But I bet they actually have a lot of good promotion.
Once the Monster Ball ends it'll finally start.

Maybe they've got something huge planned. Wouldn't surprise me with GaGa

When the Monster Ball ends, we'll be swept away with promo. (That's my hope anyway )

Why would they shoot themselves in the foot by aiming high?

Even if it does 1/4 of what they hope, it's still a big hit.

The snippet is epic! If the song is better than the remix I will die. I'm sure it's gonna be my favourite Gaga track.

So GH was a remix too? OMG! Now I need the Mugler remixes of GH and Shiza to make it on the deluxe BTW!!!!!!

I don't like Laurieann Gibson. She seems nice but kind of dumb. Her involvement should be strictly limited to teaching people how to dance.

I don`t like her choreographies... BTW`s is awful!!!
