1. Release single 1, then 2, normally in order to profit conventionally from them and chart conventionally, but also get the fans supporting them to hopefully being hits, therefore encouraging radio/casuals to support the post-album singles which will have significant drop off in sales (obviously).
2. Announce then that the album will be available for free, everywhere. Put it on a special nameofalbum.com website that would be sponsored (by Virgin, for example). They'd then make XX million from that deal, plus potentially all earn per click.
3. To combat the lack of "sales", the site would display how many people had downloaded it. This way there'd still be the bragging rights (which is primarily the point of figures being public knowledge). It would also be the first indicator of how many people listen to her music both legally and illegally as people would flock to the site for a HQ free download, not bothering with (unmeasureable) ******* sites, and they'd have access to data showing where the album was popular (aiding tour dates, promo etc.).
Which sounds more impressive: "Gaga's new album has sold >10 million" or "Gaga's new album was controversially made available for free, and has since had <30 million downloads"?
4. Post album release singles would rely on radio and streaming, with the videos being key. The album would also be released physically later for non-tech savvy people and fans. It would be the deluxe version with extra tracks to encourage purchase.
5. Bigger tour. More fans who will buy into her discography. Grab the worlds attention for her follow up album (which could be sold conventionally). A lot of coverage for controversy/pioneering debate. Reigniting the Gaga phenomenon.

This is a good idea but you know what that means right?
Please stop making assumptions about Brooklyn Nights.
"It will be a smash!"
"It won't be a smash!"
"It's an amazing song"
"It's a ****** song"
We only have a very low quality leak to hand, so we can't assume what the song will be like. It was never planned and never will be released as a single, so it doesn't matter whether it sounds like a hit or not.
Part of the reason Gaga seems to let her fans down a lot is because they get ridiculously high expectations when given very little.
You understans gaga and her music more, when you're stoned off your ass, watch this video in HD full screen, LOUD headphones, in the dark. You will GET her. She is n ARTIST. A theatre mastermind true at heart with her work.

We have literally got pictures of everything going on at Hearst Castle within seconds of it happening. Interesting that there are no pics of Lana tho. Lets hope it stay that way too.
Just Dance and Bad Romance, what kind of slayage I'm served on this lazy Sunday afternoon Too bad most of her looks for those songs' live performance ruin the entire experience cuz they are totally inappropriate for the songs
I'm seriously hoping she'll stagedive during the Applause performances at the ARTRAVE
