henrietta. Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 She sold it for $1.99 or $3.99. I forget which price. No she didn't. Amazon bought her albums and sold it for $3.99 like they did with Gaga's and other releases before Taylor's. Amazon has been selling downloads for .99-$3.99 ever since they started doing digital downloads to compete with iTunes. The thing is that if your laptop crashes and you lose your music, you're still able to get the music that you purchased from iTunes but you'd have to repurchase the music you get from Amazon.

King Baby Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 for dollar store prices I figured she would have sold more. 'The biggest star in the world' should be able to pull 2 million with that price for an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlaSh-E Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 it would be a disaster if it didn't sell that amount... cost for promotion this monster must be mindblowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotboy06 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I didn't think she would do that much..but with her having like 4 singles out before the album, it was due time for her to push for a big first week.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedvelvet Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Am I supposed to care? Is this suppose to be posted to show something?? Taylor Swift sold over 1 million in a week. She didn't get as much hype, neither should gaga. Let's not try make her superior over similar achievements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlaSh-E Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Right. Most people don't understand that Amazon purchased it from the label at regular price, and sold at a loss. It was their marketing decision to sell it for that price. isnt that illegal tho? It's ilegal in most of Europe to officially sell stuff with loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedvelvet Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Regardless, this is pretty impressive..and trust, if it's true, it's gonna be BIG news.. But its not 'impressive'. People should learn to be REAL. Selling a whole album for 99cent and selling just 1 million is actually shockingly bad. Especially considering the hype. Of course, the gaga mafia will try to turn this in to something big, but I aint gonna let up when the subject comes up, ill always let em know the truth. Many artists HAVE broken extraordinary records through really high hurdles, but this? This is just a complete false pretense, much like most of Gaga's so called reported achievements. So DONT FALL FOR IT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedvelvet Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 She was “Born” to sell downloads. With a massive rollout orchestrated by Interscope’s Steve Berman and manager Troy Carter, Janet needs to make some phone calls and get these boys working for her. Tell em Janet, you want the biggest comeback ever, fuck gaga, the worlds not ready for Ms Jacksons return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xu1993 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 isnt that illegal tho? It's ilegal in most of Europe to officially sell stuff with loss That's crazy, So what if you want to give something away for free just to get new customers, or what if you are overstocked because a cd is flopping?
