It's not true that she struggled to get hits after Judas.
The Edge of Glory was a international hit.
Hi, MJD
Can you provide the year-end chart of 2010 for downloads in Korea with figures? Gaon website didn't provide figures. And I wonder if there were still lots of ringtones at that time which were never counted.
They exist in the web archive actually, here you go: https://web.archive.org/web/20110309025548/http://www.gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/notice/view.gaon?idx=39
I'm surprised the original sold so much during 2010, #25 would be around 1.6 million I guess. #48 in 2011 for The Fame Monster would be around 1 million.
I must say, I have a very hard time considering TFM as one single album, even Gaga herself said the EP should be considered her 2nd album...
Could it be that she totalled the combined pure album sales & EAS of it's singles so she just simply said it's already 20 million?
Can you please update that a few months after her album? The singles with Ariana and blackpink will be hits and the album is slaying
How can she have 10,040,000 streams if she has 9.400.000 on youtube only? what about spotify? Does it need to be fixed?
I don't think that some of these numbers might be right. For example, the IFPI reported that ARTPOP sold 2.3M only in 2013, yet here the numbers are lower.
Hi Raul!
Artpop shipped 2.3 million in 2013, as shown by the IFPI data. It isn't inconsistent with figures presented here. Instead, it means retail sales were lower back then, which resulted on returned copies. There are many cases like this one especially for hyped and / or Q4 releases.
The fame monsters ep sales aren't included with The Fame. The Single CD EP sold around 2.3 million copies ww. It was only sold in the U.s, Canada, and some select countries. The 15 million copies include The Fame (2008) and The Fame/Monster double disc (2009). The fame was also a good catalog seller, so a lot of it sales were from 2011 and further. It always re-enters the charts.
