Gaga doesn't need this  Even her dissapointing first week sales for Applause were over 220-230k if I remember well..

lol u can stop calling people pressed just cause u didn't even look at charts and questioned yourself about it. most of people who are commenting this are lana stans anyways ones that are thinking logical

for me is a totally believable number. Why would Apple and other digital seller report higher numbers for Lana in the 1st place. She had multiple singles that missed the top 100 why would this be different from those and every other single in the Hot 100??

sure jan

I don't really know what the problem would be. It does seem high, well, higher than I expected but I'm not going to question it because she deserves it!

HBTB deserves to SLAY

i don't think so.....#57 on US iTunes and #54 in UK, it didn't even get the #1 on Songs chart ._.

 

PD: and it didn't even charted on Japan, these are the biggets markets ._.

But I am sure that you didn't even see its itunes run.. Kworb expected the debut to be around 80-90k.. Billboard probably did a mistake or something

If it's Payola, Interscope needs to stop using it on her and focus on legends & talented icons like Lady Gaga. 

They are too busy with Pia Mia atm

218k

Well the difference is that it sold 200k+ for the next 2 weeks as well

[Judas Oyster 1,883]

Yes indeed, looks like something went wrong 404

i saw its iTunes run and kworb isn't 100% reliable and iTunes is not the only thing that allows you to buy music. I know its the biggest one, but maybe some smaller ones had a little say this time??

[PEDRO98 1,003]

Well the difference is that it sold 200k+ for the next 2 weeks as well

it sold 160k in the 2nd week, and rose above 200k in the 3rd bc of the VMAS

Lol... Kworb has never done a really wrong prediction.. It would be believable if the difference was around 10-20k..But that is too much ..

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

it sold 160k in the 2nd week, and rose above 200k in the 3rd bc of the VMAS 

Still it had huge longevity.8-9 weeks after its debut it was still selling over 100k
