So Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift & Norah Jones are the only four women in American music history to sell over one million copies in one week? I am now a bigger fan of all four of these women.

The Queens 
With the Top 3 containing two entries from the past 2 years, it seems that with the digital age of discounts, big hyped acts can achieve 1 million again...

first, i'm pretty sure it was 7.99 and that was when Amazon was even smaller than it is now. And when it wasn't promoting a new thing. and secondly, Perez Hilton wasn't tweeting about it like crazy..... and even if he was he had no where near the 3.3 million followers he has now that he may have had then.
