Chuckles 2,549 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Was just about to post this: Lady Gaga has teamed with clothing retailer H&M for the release of her new album "ARTPOP." The diva's latest release, due out Nov. 11, will be carried in 175 of the chain's U.S. stores this week. Sources say that a fairly small quantity of the album will be stocked by the retailer, and will not be replenished. It will be sold for $9.95 at H&M. In addition, Lady Gaga will be on hand at the grand opening of the new H&M store in New York's Times Square on Nov. 14. While sales of the album at H&M will not count towards the Billboard charts, that shouldn't dampen the set's debut sales week. Industry sources forecast "ARTPOP" to sell between 300,000 to 350,000 in its first week in the U.S. (H&M does not report its sales to Nielsen SoundScan, which tracks music sales for Billboard's charts.) While H&M doesn't report to SoundScan, there are a number of other non-traditional music retailers that do: Nordstrom, JCPenney and Walgreens, for example. The latter company partnered with Taylor Swift for the launch of her "Red" album a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdancy 282 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Wtf... I thought as long as an album was above $4.99 or something it counted for the chart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Why would her team do this kind of partnership then? Oh well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colours 128 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Or if you're a real fan for the music, you could buy it anyway rather than trying to manage Gaga's bank account Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HausOfAntonio 8,021 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Wtf... I thought as long as an album was above $4.99 or something it counted for the chart. It's because H&M don't report numbers to Soundscan, so they can't know how many copies were sold... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hater 32 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Wtf... I thought as long as an album was above $4.99 or something it counted for the chart. It's not about that. It's just H&M doesn't send their stuff to sound scan, which physically "counts" the items sold for the charts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
