That's not to say Born This Way was a flop or anything and it still opened much higher than Prism....they're just different artists. Gaga has a fervent young fanbase that rushes out while Katy's appeal is more general and people start buying their music at a slower, but more consistent rate.

Didn't BTW outsell TD by a million copies or so worldwide though? Maybe even a bit more? So no, subtracting the $.99 deal still doesn't match the twos sales. Yes Gaga didn't outsell her by an obscene amount but comparing how long both eras lasted in comparison to other Gaga still slayed.
Can't help but think you brought up the deal to be shady, but hey. Both gurls did extremely well.
