I know it's a joke but ARTPOP has sold like 2-2,2m (in real sales) and Lemonade has sold 3m now. (Also the sales have fallen like 50% since then)

Did Gaga even get into the top 10 with Born This Way in 2011? I feel like Monsters had this "she's an album seller" argument, but the only album that we've had that's a true juggernaut is The Fame.

According to Ranker, it was #2 with 5 million copies. Not sure how reliable that is tho. http://www.ranker.com/list/top-ten-best-selling-albums-of-2011/music-lover
