Mecano 1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Even the decades-old Michael Jackson's Thriller has outsold BTW. The "mega-stars" Sugarland and Kings of Leon too... :hehe: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4bty 2,758 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Anyone have The Fame sales before TFM was released? I'm really curious to see how much TFM added to the overall sales. I'm guessing it was a lot. With the deluxe edition sales and TFM EP sales, TFM should probably be considered the most successful of the three albums.

SomethingMore 1,701 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Even the decades-old Michael Jackson's Thriller has outsold BTW. So what? He is the King of Pop and he died in 2009. and he deserves even more! BTW did great. Just look at this years top 10 best selling albums : 01 - 4,299,000 - 21 - Adele 02 - 2,591,000 - RED - Taylor Swift 03 - 1,505,000 - UP ALL NIGHT - One Direction 04 - 1,303,000 - BABEL - Mumford & Sons 05 - 1,190,000 - BELIEVE - Justin Bieber 06 - 1,108,000 - BLOWN AWAY - Carrie Underwood 07 - 1,061,000 - TUSKEGEE - Lionel Richie 08 - 1,042,000 - TAKE ME HOME - One Direction 09 - 1,026,000 - TAILGATES AND TANLINES - Luke Bryan 10 - 914,000 - NIGHT TRAIN - Jason Aldean Born This Way outsold 8 out of 10 ! And Adele's 21 is from 2011, so only Taylor outsold BTW and with only 500,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty3009 232 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Anyone have The Fame sales before TFM was released? I'm really curious to see how much TFM added to the overall sales. I'm guessing it was a lot. With the deluxe edition sales and TFM EP sales, TFM should probably be considered the most successful of the three albums. I believe that The Fame was certified platinum as of May 2009. I'm pretty sure it was close to 2x platinum when The Fame Monster was released. If we assume that 100% of The Fame's sales came from the deluxe version of The Fame Monster from that point on then yes, TFM is clearly the higher selling album (also taking into account the standalone sales of the EP). However, I don't think it's possible to know the breakdown of how many of The Fame's sales were standalone or from the TF/TFM combo so we'll probably never have exact numbers.

TFM caused people to buy both the EP, the standard edition of TF, and/or the deluxe edition. Without it, The Fame would not have sold as much as it did.

SomethingMore 1,701 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 The Fame sold more than 2 mil copies in the US, before TFM was released. So if TFM was a standalone album it would be something like this : - The Fame - 3,000,000 - The Fame Monster - 4,000,000 in the US of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americano 31,061 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Can you all stop discrediting Born This Way? These are US sales. RED won't outsell Born This Way in global totals. So quick to shade your fave without even having the facts straight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
