they're right, why would you use itunes album sales if they are only 30-40% of overall sales?

and born this way is at 5 million albums worldwide, not 4.3m

yes... BTW sold 5M in the first 3 weeks according to gaga.. I remember... Now it must be around 8M...

In a month yes. you're overestimating her though, I'd say the album is at 6m now not 8

^of course... everything where gaga is not #1 is crap. we all know that.

anyway... from the 4.3M albums that gaga sold... 450K are at 1$... and even with that Rihanna is at 5.5M... I'd say there's still quite a gap.

Can someone explain to me this thing where Rihanna fans keep counting Loud's 2010 sales? Of course they count to the album's final total...but they won't in the end of year sales. What are Loud's 2011 sales? I can't seem to get a straight answer. I presume 3.2m around that.

What are Rated R's 2011 sales? I presume it's continuing to sell as consistently as The Fame monster still is.

Beyonce's album is doing so much better than GaGa and Katy because it's newer.

And the fact that Loud is so close to it should be giving a pretty obvious message about 4.

This is pointless. You do know what a low percentage of album sales the itunes chart is right? Physical album sales are still huge. Particularly with someone like gaga who sells a lot of CDs...because she's the sort of artist her fans really buy into and want the artwork and want the CD in their hands.

You do realize that BTW is 3 months old compared to LOUD who is 10 months old? and Gaga will outsell her by the end of the year , and LOUD is NOT at 5.5 millions, those sales figures are irrelevant and musicharts is fake........

Please stans, dont embarass yourselves when it comes to sales and power, we know who owns it

Gaga sold 30,000 more than Rihanna this past week. Good luck

Especially with the re-release coming.

And Gaga sold in 3 months what Riri did in 9, without mentionning she outsold her US sales in about 1 month?

Ha. A bit disingenuous of you to use the Mediatraffic figure for BTW and the MusiChart figure for Loud when the latter skews higher, no?

BTW has sold 4.5m on MusiChart, not counting the two most recent sales weeks.

Are people still bringing up that 99c **** from Amazon?
Yes, people bought the album for $1, but Amazon paid full price, therefore every sale is completely legitimate.
Stop falling back on that when you have nothing to say.

Gaga is slaying EVERYONE besides Adele, but Adele really isn't in the same group, so whatever. Gaga's sales are slowing down now because she sold a year's worth of albums in three months. When will Rihanna or Katy do that? Never.

How am I pressed when my fave's album has sold more than yours?

The pressed are the gaga fans. That cant accept that any other popstar can sell albums just the same way she does. or even more.

and by the way... the comment about using musicharts numbers... I said 4.3M coz I really had no idea how much has gaga sold.

Well its 4.5M... alright.. Rihanna is at 5.5M with the same weeks left to count. + all of them full prized. And still selling.

and about Gaga selling what Rihanna did in 9 months... Well... By week 13 Loud had sold 3.5M... So if u take the amazon 1$ out... sales are not much different.

Take it. Its not that hard to accept. Gaga is not the only one able to sell album. And certainly she cant sell singles while she sells albums like others.

and yes. please CLOCK THE TEA. Its tea time here in Europe. XoXo

[Mystic Boy]

BTW is at 4.3 millions right now and LOUD is 4.9 millions......FACT, mediatraffic is more reliable, dont choose musicharts juste because they are inflating sales , i know Riri is selling well but to compare a one year old album to a 3 months is ridiculous, and yes Gaga is ******** on all your favs cause LOUD could never sold the same amount if it was released in MAY like BTW was, she can thanks the holiday sales.....FACT!!

A huge PORTION of Rihanna's sales are down to 3 (yes 3!) appearances on UK X factor (the superbowl of UK tv) in Oct and Dec (a very, very high selling period). I might gain some respect for Ri if she puts the new album back to march so she can finish it properly then really hustle for her sales like everyone else.

Rihanna sold over 3 million albums in 3 months. Outselling every album in 2010 that wasn't in the TOP 5 Best selling.

I love Teenage Dream's longevity.

[Mr.Dream]

BTW is released at the peak of Gaga's Career. Not to mention that Gaga does everything posspile for her sales.

As far as I know... Loud has sold more than Born This way this year in the UK too... and this same week Loud is #18 and BTW is #19 there.

Pos - YTD - Artist - Title
1 - 2978600 - Adele - 21
2 - 984200 - Adele - 19
3 - 707400 - Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans
4 - 681400 - Rihanna - Loud
5 - 545000 - Lady Gaga - Born This Way

+ Lets not mention how BTW wouldnt even be ahead of Loud in the US without the amazon thingy.
