Klou 2,414 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Random question: Does the complete my album feature in iTunes count towards the Billboard 200? Either way, receipts? Yes, it counts toward the album sales, but the single sales are deducted from the total single sales thus far. For example, if you bought BTW (song) and completed your album later, that sale you made for the single will no longer count, so it would be -1 from the total digital sales of that song.

How did I not know this. I'm the biggest flop on this forum :toofloppy: hopes for a good lead single :) and hopefully the collabs don't tire out the public I doubt TGT will, considering AC will probably be the only one to play it.

I'm the biggest flop on this forum :toofloppy: That's why the week an album debuts, the single that is out at the time sees a drastic dip on the Hot 100. All those complete my albums are deducted from the entire week's total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galactic Mess 1,393 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Of course its a huge flop this year. And I must say its a flop in general, both 2011 & 2012. Its sold so much just cause of that first week when of course people didn't know what to expect, and BTW single was a great lead in single, so thats why the album sold 1,100,000 in its first week. I mean we both love Gaga but why are you defending BTW's sales when its obvious its a flop in the USA. In 1 week = 1,100,000 copies In 1 year, 3 months = 2,200,000 copies 2,200,000 - 1,100,000 = 1,100,000 copies. So she sold the same amount of copies in 1 week and in 1 year and 3 months (excluding the first week) and that is not flop for you?? To the hell with the sales distribution, that just proves the album had a different marketing strategy. What matters is the total amount of sales, which was great.

Americano 31,061 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 How can an album be a flop this year when it wasn't even promoted this year? BTW was a big hit album wise. Stop with the bull**** posts. No one is here for that garbage, you already had your time with that nonsense gay thread in Gaga Thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Its sold so much just cause of that first week when of course people didn't know what to expect She performed FIVE songs before and during BTW's first week. All the tracks were on youtube. Massive publicity. It's say she just reached a high number of potential buyers early in the campaign. Aside from breakthough artists, i'd say frontloaded sales are a trend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty3009 232 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Her lead single(s) and albums will probably always be massively front loaded with her huge fan base. It's the GP's reception to the material that will determine if it has legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her first single won't perform as well as it could considering some fans here are planning on illegally downloading the single :wtf: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
