Pre-release streams and sales get counted towards total units/certification (like Gold, Platinum etc) but don't count towards release-week units. Only sales/streams from this tracking week will count towards chart position 

Thank you!  What about pre-orders for vinyls? Do they count for this week, or only the ones that get delivered?

As long as they are shipped during the tracking week they count!

Beyonce is releasing this year. Tay tay is. My hopes for that are low. Scammys are rigged

unless gaga wins aoty then they are not rigged

They won't win. I think people are tired (and rightfully so). Please open up the field to other artists...

Just to chime in-- these are decent numbers given her circumstances.

I think we'd all hope for her to clear 300K+, but she is coming off a 5 year album drought that spawned one very short-lived hit and nothing else, in addition a major movie flop. Also understand that she delivered 200K+ with the underperformance of Disease and Abra (esp. in the U.S.). We'd hope that DWAS would have a halo effect on her album, but people do not understand that song to be part of a new Lady Gaga pop album (given it was never intended to be in the first place). Not to mention consumer sentiment in the U.S., but I'll leave that piece alone. 

I'm glad she has enough staying power to clear 200K+ without any touring bundles or hit singles in 2025. It's actually a relief.
