Payola :unsure:

I kid. But big opening sales...doesn't that potentially put her up for a big drop the following week :unsure:?

Yes, but she has a nice shot of retaining a good position because there's no real competition apart from Adele. Actually, nothing really poses a threat until Lil' Wayne and Beyoncé release their albums in June.

No shade but is Lil Wayne still considered a threat? He had two albums last year and neither one went platinum.

I think simply because it's a continuation of the Carter series it will do better than his last two. From memory, Rebirth came out just before he went to prison, and I Am Not a Human Being was released while he was still in there. This one has a better chance.

Lady Gaga is preparing to release a Christmas album of traditional jazz standards.

Lady Gaga wants to record a Christmas album of jazz standards.

The 'Hair' hitmaker is planning to eschew her usual electro pop sound to make a record of traditional jazz hits for the festive period.

She told the Financial Times newspaper: "I thought it would be really sweet to do a Christmas release of Gaga and the jazz standards. I really want to do it. I've spoken to my manager."

Giving a possible preview, the 'Born This Way' star recently gave a rendition of jazz track 'Orange Colored Sky' when she performed in England.

The 25-year-old musician has also spoken of her admiration for British singer Adele, who she is set to knock from the top of the album charts with her 'Born This Way' album this week, ending a 16-week run by the 'Someone Like You' singer.

Gaga said: "I'm so excited for Adele. She's doing so well all over the world and it's wonderful to see the world embrace her. She's beaten some of my chart records but I'm happy for her. I love seeing women succeed and she's so talented."

You're telling me. :umm:

I heard that on the radio but I didn't believe it because of how strong Adele's been performing.

Thats what I thought but they probably meant for this week :S. Either way she's set to knock Adele off the 14 week top spot :tear:

I think they do mean for this week, but the report I heard stated she was outselling the rest of the Top 30 combined. Sounded like a stretch, but good for her if it's true.

Don't cry for Adele, she's had an amazing run. And her year isn't over. :wub:

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?

it's about fair sales tho... i would hate it if other stores were selling the same items under price so thank god for this rule over here... So many businesses would go bankrupt if it wasn't there
