Also, "Marry You" is almost 2x Platinum and it was not even a single.

JT has starpower. Bruno is like Rihanna. He needs hits and airplay (and lets not forget that massive discount) to sell. Lets also not forget how little he sold off his name when his era started.

Bruno Mars: Discounts Shoots 'Unorthodox Jukebox' Singer To The Top, Finally

Bruno Mars finally has his first No. 1 album on the Billboard Hot 200, thanks in large part to steep discounts at online retailers like Amazon.

"Unorthodox Jukebox," the disc in question, was marked down to just $1.99 on Amazon. Billboard reports that 64,000 of the album's 95,000 total sales over the week were from Amazon downloads, indicating that the record wouldn't have made it to the top of the list if there wasn't a strong incentive for consumer to purchase it.

Songs: Discount Helps Bruno Reach #1

Here’s an irony for you. A price reduction to 69 cents enabled Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man” to bump “Thrift Shop”—a song about hunting for 99-cent bargains—out of the #1 spot on the Hot 100. Mars’ song was discounted to that price in both the iTunes and Amazon MP3 stores, which put it far below the standard $1.29 price of most current hits. This was a shameless (and effective) bid to give Mars’ hit the final push it needed to reach #1. The song sold 340K copies during the week, which represents a 45% gain over the previous week.

I can't believe Mother Perrysa is gonna make Eminem debut at #2 on the digital chart. She's unstoppable! And with a bad song, too. I can't imagine how well she'll do with a "Teenage Dream" quality song.

Now that I think about it, that was probably her team's strategy - release the worse song first (assuming she'd be blocked by Gaga/Robin), then unleash the real monster second

[Chemist]

Miley should be #1 in that chart though

The girls need to spill the hot and true tea and stop trying to sound like they got "taste" for the legends because that album was just

It's amazing. The lyrics are amazing and every song is a classic and legendary. Even the album tracks have been sampled and covered hundreds of times. When Doves Cry is better than anything GaGa has released ever.

I never hear anyone request Prince. If it is, it's not around me or to anyone that I've ever encountered in my life. When Doves Cry sounds so bland, barely heard instrumental with those long ass guitar parts towards the end, and his screams

His label found the right opportunity and got it for him. It's been a consistent seller as well, so I am not complaining.

Part 2 won't sell anything, but the the sales for the album as a whole (1 + 2 + Complete) will be huge as a result of Part 2.

But they're even more separate eras than TF/TFM, so whatever these two albums sell combined is not relevant.

There's almost no gap between them. And despite JT's insistence, the lead single has already blended their content together. They'll be seen as the same success.
