hm .. i'm joining the war already, so I should stop now. Monsters should stop also. Don't make ourselves sound like pressed stans. We're not, because BTW definitely is not flopping. It is exploding in Asia.

GaGa never needs a source to lie for her.

You bunch of dumb twats.
I'm ****ing tired of your ******** posts and your ******** threads about BORN THIS WAY.
You guys are merely jealous.
Furthermore, her album is doing just fine, thank you very much. I'm not here for you dumb ass stans who are going to sit here and act like her success this era is going to be the end of her, or that she's evil because she has a label that actually wants to invest time and money into promoting her.
If you had an artist that made you as much money as GaGa has for Interscope, I'm sure you would do the very same.
Oh, and for the ****ing XTH time, Amazon sold the God damn album for 99 cents, not GaGa, or Interscope. If anything, that amazon deal hurt Interscope and Born This Way. Therefore, all you bitches sitting in this thread acting like GaGa was the person behind all of it need to sit the **** down.
I'm ****ing tired of this ****.
(I don't normally act this way, but dear God, after nearly 2 months of this ****, enough is enough).

Yes it is. It is the official publisher of Canadian charts besides Billboard, responsible for the Canadian Singles Chart and Canadian Albums Chart.

I admit this though, it did flop. I guess if it didn't have religious material, it would've smashed.

Ok  whatever that makes you happy

A bigger font, sadly, doesn't prove anything of your false tea.
1. Katy had iTunes Countdown Singles: California Gurls, Teenage Dream, (first 2 are often also the first 2 'real' singles) Circle The Drain, E.T.
2. iTunes bombarding emails? Didn't happen. OK You can subscribe to your artist to get a notification but that's with any artists and iTunes, so this is even and not bombarding with emails.
3. Radio... I can't at you saying Lady Gaga has payola while we see the spins from Rihanna and Katy rising, regularly and not just first week, with the biggest updates ever. Katy has smashed radio records so clearly she has the biggest advantage here. Rihanna has always done better with radio too than Gaga.
4. Unfair advantages? Actually the label setting up deals (see; Target but that failed) and selling the album to any seller possible? Any label can do but they must think it's worth it .
5. Evil label schemes? As is just doing everything needed for the artist being a good label?
6. Amazon decided the discount themselves. They made losses to get their new service up. Interscope/Gaga were still catching full price for it.
Without Amazon, BTW still outsold both heavily.
Katy and Rihanna use last minute remixes to get their songs smashing (S&M, E.T.) or discounts (Only Girl). The same is with their album (discounts ALL THE TIME). This is why Rihanna is never on Forbes . With the discounts, nothing's left for her in the end.

This post is so strong! Certain people judge Lady Gaga and what she does every time like they've been in the music field. Some ATRLers do nothing but complain and complain. Sales right there, flop right here. I'm done with this ****! The Amazon deal is the only excuse for people who like to see Lady Gaga fail. I will quote this post!

OIC. Minus off the Amazon sales stil >>> Loud + TD .. Oh I see your point here.
Also, don't tell me you forget about the discounts on itunes of Loud and TD to keep them selling. I don't get it. EVery team has their own strategy, why criticize ? If really want to do so, it will be the so-called "Rih-mix" technique both of them used.
Some of you might say even ET without kanye will go to #1. Proof?
You guys say BTw wouldn't hit 1m without Amazon. Proof ?
So, just f** off and shut up.

Actually Ra it didn't hurt Interscope/Gaga at all because Interscope/Gaga still got full price from them. It hurt Amazon but it was part of their strategy to get more market share.
