Yes, because Amazon bought that 400,000 copies to its full price.

It's like if I buy 400,000 copies of an X album and then resell them to 1 dollar, the 400,000 were still payed to the original artist/label.

I think it counts because she did sell that many copies, but I also think that it is fair that it is always qualified with an asterisk.

No.

And Billboard constantly reminds it to people every time an artist sells 1 million in a week. Like it was "an exception".

That or maybe because artists rarely sell a million first week now. You should know.

Haha you guys are still pressed about this? Whether it "counts" or not is upto you, whether she sold one million copies of the iconique album of the decade Born This Way and received fair money for doing so is a fact. Amazon decided she was worth launching their silly music store by discounting her album, but had to pay all the money they lost in doing so - they got promo, Gaga got sales - win win.

Of course not
