Her devoted Little Monsters fan base has helped her sell 9.7 million albums. Her most recent release, ARTPOP, has shifted 725,000. Like Beyonce, Gaga is a highly visual artist. Thus, a visual album (as Beyonce dubbed her self-titled set) with multiple music videos would be an attractive lure for album buyers. http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...e-taylor-swift
Yes but the digital sales arent even the 5% of the sales in Japan! The digital market in Asia just didnt and wont succeed!
That's inaccurate. Digital sales in Asia did amazingly around 2007-2008; what killed them was the actions of greedy labels who wanted more money, which they could make if physical sales never died.
^Thank you all for the updates. That 130M singles figure seems really high, though... Microsoft doesn't seem the most reliable source for music sales.
As EnigmaPopstar already said, Billboard reported 125M before ARTPOP dropped. 130M singles sold up until two months ago doesn't seem out of the question.
Went through Gaga's United World Chart peaks to find out Hair and Venus were worldwide top 20 smashes.
