9 Lady Gaga ARTPOP 2.3

Not bad, Legend G!

[Legend ReX]

I thought Justin sold more? Dookie?

And LOL @ people having meltdowns because their faves were grossly overshipped.
Mediatraffic's weekly charts are dated about 2 weeks after the actual sales weeks so the last 2 weeks of 2012 are included in 2013's chart and the last 2 weeks of 2013 will be included in this year's year-end chart. It's not rocket science, people.

And mess at Artpop, there are over 700k copies of it sitting on shelves right now

stores will end up selling them back to the label.

[Venus Temple]

Let me use some ATRL logic:

ARTFLOP has two flop singles, and no promo whatsoever!! She is over!! Get over it!

So let me get this straight, she sold 2 million with no singles and no promo? Slay a bit Gagz!

[PawnShop]

Congratz to Katy and Bey for actually selling most of their shipments

Stay was released as a single in 2013

And she still got into the top 10 thanks to that song, she didn't need more singles.

32 countries and their album figures are more accurate because it doesn't include shipments.

I agree.
Plus those 34 countries account for over 95% of the industry anyway, so.

Are you implying Applause and Do What U Want were buzz singles?

They weren't flops. Applause was a decent hit. DWUW was a moderate hit without longevity.

1D slaying everyone effortlessly

[QueenBeyoncé]

2.3 million in 18 DAYS! Slay Beyonce!

[mcoop]

Slay Gags

leaving the lessers pressed

[Hector]

If P!nk's "The Truth About Love" shipped 7 million, why isn't she in the top 10? Although it may probably appear in the top 50 list just outside or a "mistaken" entry in the top 10.

[Sinister]

Robin and Bruno are the male winners of the year

[Kkamjong]

Roar was such a smash and people try and downplay its success

[Wafflecakes]

Oh.... #1. As it should be

Lessors can seethe

[Marq]

Rihanna making the top 10 without a 2013 album and Stay being an IFPI entry
