Also, for those who say she had very little promo, Billboard themselves awknowlege:

just how petty can u be?

My other faves Beyonce and Britney. Beyonce outsold ha ass 3 to 1 and Britney...well when you've sold over 100 million singles and 100 million ALBUMS, you don't have as much incentive to do tours, interviews, Amazon promotions, Super Bowl commercials, twitter fights, etc.

Omg what is this mess

According to Billboard, ANTi sold 460 copies. Joanne sold 201,000. Joanne's debut was over 400 times the size.

If you're going to use OGH logic, I will use 460 logic.

The difference is that people paid $3.99 to buy Joanne while people paid $0 to download Anti. "Amazon paid for those copies" is a defense that's used against the people saying that Gaga and Interscope were responsible for Amazon's 0.99/3.99 deals, not against people saying that its "sales" shouldn't count because it was given away for free.

201k is not a good number for a main pop girl, but at least it's more than 200k so that's great.

Ohh, so she's back to main pop girl status... yet 201k isn't a good number...for a main pop girl...

In 2016, yes it is a very good number. Only one other female Pop artist has debuted with more this year.

I mean she broke her damn back promoting it all over the place. It's good to see her extremely hard work and dedication paid off!



I can't even begin to imagine how much my faves would sell if they had Gaga's work ethic.

Is this what you guys are resorting to now? Give it up, Gaga had considerably less promo this era than she has ever had for an album. The first single didn't get one televised performance.

You thought you were slick adding in the "main pop girl" part so nobody could clock you with 5H receipts.

YES GAGA

She keeps exceeding expectations, even when they're "final"

[Dylangaga]

[YR.]

Talent it is.

[HonourableVomit]

The fumes in here.

[modeblock]

Not fuming. Just having a little kii at y'all defending these fantastic numbers!

[Fizzy]

I'm enjoying this so much.

No let's defend fantastic 3 digit numbers. 460. Woo Shook 😍

[Fizzy]

Yes I also wish to have Gaga's work ethic. Sticking to whatever she releases rather than scrapping an era 3 singles deep (not even include them in her album) and feature a popular rapper to get a hit and ask a mobile company to buy her album which otherwise wouldn't have sold. Clearly

[Aurora]

This entire thread.

The numbers are... numbers. If y'all are happy with this, awesome. Grats to y'all.

Interesting, because ANTI is the 3rd best-selling album released this year, despite being given away 1.47 million times. So much for "it wouldn't have sold."

US iTunes:

3. Joanne (+1)
4. Young Jeezy (-1)

I thought this is iHype's thread. Anyway, congratulations Gaga
