She struck a deal that let her get the money for 1 million sales instantly while allowing 1 million people to get it for free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be fair though? Rihanna would not have sold 1 million that fast if ever with the quality of the album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemeLarell 931 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I still dont see the problem with partnering up with Samsung to give your fans a free album. And it seems like some of you guys only think she is a flop based on personal opinion. She still would have sold more if she didn't have Samsung deal. And i think her album is amazing but i guess all of her albums gets mixed reactions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've listened to to the whole album, and I'm not even sorry, but this is all just a pathetic attempt to make a quick buck with a subpar album, and hiding behind this deal to hide the fact that this album is a disappointment is making it look like this kind of sh!t is ok. Truth is that if Samsung hadn't made this deal, it would have been the flop album of the year, which it deserves to be. Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us.

Bury Me 477 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 This picture is so funny considering her terrible sales this era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure, it'd be awesome if Gaga did it I'd pick 4 million people getting an album for free over "ruining" a title. Plus like you said, Adele did it the traditional way, traditions don't have to be kept for the sake of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's nice that fans (worldwide) got an album for free, but for an artist to act like they really accomplished something they didn't is embarrassing. If she had any self dignity, she would have simply celebrated the fact that a million fans got her music. This just draws attention to the scam part of this deal, when that didn't have to happen.

Congrats to her Sales are sales, whether bought in bulk or not i somewhat agree but its undeniable that these are not like "legitimate wanted" copies. to me theres a difference between making a deal and having people who like the music buy it because thy like it.

lego 44,165 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Gaga is rich, she could buy 5 million copies of her new album by herself (or her family could) and give it to fans for free. 5 million sales in first week. What's the difference? FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I totally agree with that, this doesn't show if people actually WANTED to go out there and have it Thankfully the chart companies have different rules in place that help filter bulk purchases out though so those still can measure the popularity of an album to a respectable degree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when it comes to charts counting how many are sold isn't it? Not the way RIAA calculate things? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
