Some stars exploit the gays, others exploit domestic abuse. You gotto do what you gotta do...
And hope you don't end up selling less than 500K worldwide first week despite having a Q4 release and a rather big hit.

LOL, is it supposed to make people laugh? Besides the SNL performance and the UK X-Factor one she had one of the biggest promo tactics ever which was that "mini tour" that had a bunch of reporters from a lot of countries with her, which means people everywhere knew her new album was coming.
Expected a little more, but not bad!

Lol at people saying that it had a lot of promo. Should i pull out the promo schedule for the recent major pop releases like BTW, 4, TD and GOF? Those artists were on every single TV Show on the week of release. Rihanna missed both the AMAs and EMAs

The fans that went to those concerts are basically HER STANS, not just casual fans, so they are already aware unapologetic was coming out nov 19th, televised promo is the one she needed to reach those casual fans, NICE TRY.

Am I right in saying that I Am Sasha Fierce and Circus both opened with 500k give or take a couple thousand copies? If thats the case than this is very impressive!

But what's the point of comparing the two albums opening sales ?
No matter what, Gaga wins, with or without amazon deal.
