lol @ you acting like everyone who spends 0.99 on BTW from Amazon will automatically become a life-long customer.
20,000 people buying the album at full price = more profit than 100,000 at 10% of the normal price.
Either you're very young or very uneducated. Amazon is not looking to make money off this particular deal, they're looking to establish themselves in the market. it's called an investment. Dictionary.com it
I think it's not about how desperate Gaga is, but it's how much Gaga attracts people to do business with her.
$0.99-deal is not much appreciable in terms of musical dignity, but in terms of business, it means that she's a super magnet. And I applaude Gaga for attracting Amazon do it twice.
IF it's about the music then why not just give the **** out for free? Since they wanna get the music "out there". Again, CHILD BYE!
because when it comes down to it they are a major record label. Either way they are making a profit off this ****.
Stop complaining, you are getting a 14 track album for 99 cents legally. PRAY THAT THEY DO IT MORE OFTEN FOR SOMEONE WHO IS YOUR FAV. I really don't understand bitches who are complaining that the industry is doing something to sell albums and save itself. HOW DARE THEY!

And miss Peep, you could learn a thing or two from your fellow stans Oshii & Robyn, MANNERS. They answered my question w/o trying to act like a hardass.
Amazon's yearly revenue is more than 4x that of the entire music retail industry. They can afford to make an investment on a popular album.
The term investment implies that there will be a pay off in the end. But where's the pay off when this type of deal isn't going to turn people into long-term customers?
