It's Ok to sell an album for $5 dollars or maybe $4, but for .99 cents? do you know how much it costs to produce a song? I do like GaGa, but I can't stand this chart policies.
Did you read this?
But beyond the loss-leader strategies, "Born This Way" was also a story about a pricing rebound. Of the 2.1 million units shipped by Universal Music Group before street date, 1.3 million were for the deluxe version, sources say. The standard physical version, which contains 14 songs, listed for $12.99 and wholesaled at $10.35; while the deluxe version, which contains three extra tracks on the main album and a second remix disc with 10 tracks, listed for $21.98 and $14.00 wholesale. Meanwhile, the digital standard version carried an $11.99 list price and a wholesale of $8.40; while the deluxe digital version carried a $15.99 list, which translates into an $11.20 whole.
Gaga's team is looking for the biggest opening week of an album and it's ok, but there many ways to do so.
