What the fack do you mean? Do you mean Interscope ordering every employee to buy the album x times off Amazon? Get out. Otherwise; please re-formulate.

Such steep discounts are a cornerstone of Amazon's strategy to gain traction in a market in which iTunes remains the dominant player.

But when Amazon promotes a high-profile album as its daily deal, it typically pays the full wholesale price for the album—generally $7 to $8—and eats the loss, according to people familiar with the matter. That was the case with another recent high-profile special offer, Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," according to people familiar with the matter.
In contrast, Amazon's monthly promotion of 100 albums for $5 each generally involves the cooperation of record labels and distributors, according to people in the industry. After haggling over what titles will be included in the promotion, the labels will temporarily cut their wholesale prices for the promotion. The process is similar to promotions at brick-and-mortar retailers like Best Buy Co.
Offering aggressive discounts is a strategy that Amazon, the largest online-only retailer, has used across its businesses, and helps it win new customers.

A recent article also stated that Amazon $0.69 MP3 for the best-selling MP3 are also sold at a loss.

Taylor was selling her album for $3.99 A WHOLE WEEK. GaGa is only selling her album for $.99 for ONE DAY. It's the same thing. Trust, not many people will know about this deal, and the usual buyers on Amazon do not even use MP3s. They would order the physical copies instead.

I am pretty sure they will sell it 3.99during the rest of the week. So they still get a lot from this one day deal...especially, when they are giving away 20 GB storage for free with the purchase.

Actually it was not Taylor selling it 3.99- it was Amazon. She did not even have a fikking Itunes banner if i remember correctly... i heard it mentioned. i bought a physical copy...so idk.

The conspiracy theories starting already

[KKCuteCat]

She has a very huge promotion. Can't wait to see how much she will sell. Hope for a million debut

More people of course being selective about the information. An article was posted. It's Amazon's strategy at a LOSS in order to rake in the business from iTunes customers.

Anyway, there's a handful of people in here just trying to stir the pot and the Gaga stans. I suggest you ignore them. Without attention, they go away.

Is it possible to buy this when I'm living overseas?

How delusional do you have to be to believe that this is Gaga trying to gather a **** ton of sales? It's clearly Amazon snatching customers from iTunes. They've offered other albums for 99 cents before.
