Except that there's rules to reach that... An album can't chart unless it is sold for a certain amount of money. Gaga came close to it, since Born This Way was available for 0.99$ on Amazon. Amazon had a deal with Interscope and paid the full amount per album sold. That's why it was able to chart but if Amazon hadn't taken the loss for themselves and Interscope was only 99 cents for the entire record, it wouldn't have been able to chart or count towards any "sales" list. So a diamond certification for a free album in unreachable. It's just the way it is.

I'm interested in how this is going to play out.

Ummm didn't know that but whats gonna be truly wonderful about an album not being able to chart is people will look for impact rather than high or poor sales, it keeps an album's performance a mystery.

PS: his could be a part of her trying to set up herself as the anti-Taylor, just like Avril did in 2002. 

We all know how that ended.

but Taylor wasn't even out in 2002, was she? I'm confused

but free = money ????? Literally makes no sense :bye:

She's just trying to hide her money lust behind those free albums. No mentally stable person would destroy herself like she did under excuse she's "suddenly" being herself and what a shocker she got a big bag of coins for that... Point is her whole life she was taught how to get attention and money and it will never change :)

I think she's just smart enough to realise that there is no money in selling albums these days. It's all in touring. If she does actually pull this off and gives her album away for free, I will gain a huge amount of respect for her. Certainly more respect than Taylor Swift who recently removed every Vine video with her music in it because Vine doesn't pay artists royalties. 

I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

Music Not The Bling :neyde: 

I find it kinda funny tho how some people in this thread are praising her, yet they were saying it's a dumb idea when there were rumors about Gaga doing it back in the day. :coffee:

Brilliant. I've been waiting for this for so long, ever since that interview with Troy Carter where he said he and Gaga hoped they could release her music for free in the near future :applause:

I honestly think this is the fairest and smartest way to spread music nowadays. A free digital download for everyone in various quality (incl. lossless) formats and a special, elaborate physical package for the fans and collectors who want to pay for it.

At the end of the day, this move would benefit her fans and music buyers. It would be a good thing. Lucky she's rich and won't be financially disadvantaged by this. lol.

This made me smile! Miley really is as beautifully spirited as Gaga. What an amazing human being. Hopefully she can do this, even though I am not sure if her label is going to intervene or not.
