I'd be more impressed if she didn't have a $3.99 discount with Amazon. Still, people are buying the album, and it's a great number for an album in 2016 with a flop lead single.
So in SPS as of now Joanne won't even do better than Anti's first full week and it's barely predicted to sell more in pure sales despite having the advantage of physical + digital first week but I remember Rihanna being dragged for her numbers. Why are ATRLers suddenly making excuses for Joanne? Not to mention this was after one million copies were given away.
