G.U.Y. = ~200,000 (sold over 100k in the US)

How legit is this?

Huge tl;dr post alert

If anybody read my WW single sales estimates post, where I used IFPI and US/UK year-end sales to estimate WW sales.. I made a mistake

I just noticed that the IFPI year-end tracking period is actually not the calender year (1 January-31 December)

Under each of their year-end singles chart (for example, 2009) it says: "Source: IFPI. Chart includes online single tracks, audio and video mastertones, ringback tones and full track downloads to mobile. Period of 12 months to November 2009. Sales are rounded. Combines all versions of the same song."

If I understand "Period of 12 months to November 2009" correctly, it means: sales from 1 November 2008 to 1 Nov 2009. Someone correct me if I'm not understanding it right

Edit: It actually means December 1st to November 30

This changes the WW totals in my previous post as I used US/UK sales from 1 January-31 December to determine sales, rather than US/UK sales from 1 December (previous year) to November 30 (actual year)

What kind of unintuitive tracking period tho Anyway..

Fixing estimates..

I think they mean December 1st to November 30.

Also there's no way PF is at 16.5m. But the others sound about right.
Good job on that either way

I assumed '12 months to November' meant the 12 months right before November, but this makes more sense as it's the same as Billboard. but more opinions would be nice

That sentence has been confusing me the whole time

I'll have to fix the US and UK sales figures within the tracking period in that case

For some weird reasons they reported numbers only for physical deluxe edition in South Korea.

Like 300k away. I don't think it'll be that hard to do considering it's only been out for 3 months.

The Do What U Want video would have probably given her bad controversy, not good controversy like Judas or Alejandro. The concept was just not tasteful.

It actually would've worked beautifully. People get away with raunchy sexploitation stuff all the time. Look at Anaconda. Gaga's was a bit worse if you can believe it + the R Kelly drama.

The Judas + Alejandro controversy was more of a collective eye roll from the GP. Everyone like, 'um hasn't the religious drama been done before?' Those two videos + Judas the song ruined her. She messed up big with those.

how much did C2C sell in the US alone? how much

[wesleywalrus]

As of December 19th:
Cheek to Cheek WW sales: 748,000
As of December 16th:
Cheek to Cheek US sales: 434,000

Do we know C2C's US sales as of last week (Dec 16-23)?

Edit: I guess we'll know for sure next Tuesday. It's weird how HDD didn't report fully last week. Annoying.

not with Alejandro sistren. if anything it just showed another fascet to Gaga's artistry. the stuff that ruined it all was the Born This Way era. the BTW music video was very messy but still ok...but then she started doing her own videos which totally dragged her videography down. Judas was very cheesy.
