For iTunes only I'm pretty sure, Gaga did like 700k digitally with Amazon. Still amazing and super happy for them

LEGENDARY. I hope it's confirmed soon.

yeah HDD should have its half-completed update tonight.

EDIT: wait it's already up.

[iamvladd]

HDD at 31% has it at 308,472. (My guess is that this is all of the digital sales)

Billboard posted an article about it breaking Coldplay's record with the 290K so I guess it's true. (http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/indus...05316772.story)
They downgraded the overall predictions to 410,000-450,000 though
I hope they are wrong because I really wanted that 500K.

[Relative]

Even if they only sell 400k that's still pretty good considering the physical copy wasn't available until last Friday.

If they sold the album sold for 99 cents on Itunes they would have got higher then gaga. At least they are getting more value/money from their album. Its horrible that you put so much effort in an album and then you only sell it for 99 cents, very desperate of you ask me.

GaGa sold 700,000 albums without the 99 cent deal.

Oh cool! Another lets just create an album and lets USE ALOT OF SAMPLES, and make another forgettable album, and Jay you can't rap only produce, Kanye is the real deal.

The album isn't forgettable and while I like Kanye more, Jay can rap. His discography can be a testament to that.

That poster obviously didnt listen to this album and doesn't listen to hip-hop in general. Because they made several statements that a true hip-hop fan would never make no matter how much they disliked WTT.

[iamvladd]

The offical Soundscan numbers is 436K. Congrats both Jay & Kanye
