Thanks for acknowledging the fact that there will be an increase in Amazon's market, at least for this week. Others have failed to do so and it's kinda depressing.
Yes, it will increase that day. But not permanently. Either way, I believe MrPeanut his argument is on the upper hand: people would have bought the album anyways. The discount is just trying to get them over the edge from iTunes to Amazon MP3 Store.
I meant Amazon and I know they've always counted, but I remember reading that this time they wouldnt, maybe because...well...it's cheaper than a song
Cheaper than a song on iTunes yes, but no on Amazon. Songs on Amazon are $0,69.
Besides, you are confusing this with the best buy promotion, which came with free copies with some smartphones - those are not counted.
Not to mention, a lot of you should be THANKFUL that Gaga is helping the record industry with its' declining sales. It means that people will buy YOUR FAVES albums!
As expected. Who else comes close to snatching Stefani's various wigs? No one. Gaga runs this mother, slaying lessors on multiple charts, sales and in quality. She's gonna tour her ass off and continue to push the longevity of the album. If we think this is a smash, just wait until the re-release.
