Just saying.

Anyway, great for Prism for TOP 3!

Idk which store you're on, but the standard and deluxe versions are $11.99 and $14.99, respectively.

Amazing sales for Frozen, Beyoncé, and Katy.

You forget Amazon.com isn't as big retailer for digital music as iTunes. People are clearly here for the discounted album on iTunes.

This, pretty much.

And people above saying Amazon's discount shouldn't be ignored. Sure, it shouldn't, but iTunes sells roughly 5 times more digital albums than Amazon, so it's kinda uneven. Not that Im complaining.

The demand for ARTPOP is there, just not for $14.99, as we've all seen when it was discounted. In one day it jumped from #30 something to #6.

just because Amazon isn't as big as iTunes, that doesn't mean that the discount should be ignored. remember! Gaga, once upon a time, sold 440k copies from Amazon alone.

That was a different sale though. The BTW discount was bundled in with Amazon MP3's then-new cloud service debuting that brought in legions of customers during that timeframe. It's not like the Amazon MP3 store top chart actually represents, even closely, any Billboard chart.

Meanwhile, BEYONCE remains full priced, and ahead of everyone so kats can deal.

I'm not saying ARTPOP would be doing better than Prism if they were the same price. People clearly are more here for Katy's album than for Gaga's. But ARTPOP would be doing much better and the comparison between their numbers would be fairer.

Because it was at .99 cents. Who wouldn't buy it, honestly?
Even I, who live in a country where piracy is the norm, would have spent 0.99 on an album.

the bottomline is that it was discounted and she sold a huge amount. and it's from amazon

[ontherocks]

I wonder how much Gaga and Katy would sell without all these discounts? Regardless if it is iTunes or Amazon.

And this isn't up to a debate, really. Katy Perry is much more GP friendly.
