Gaga was 22 when "Just Dance" debuted on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart in May 2008 and crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 that August. Five months later, it began a three-week stay at No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated Jan. 17, 2009.

 

The album on which the single appears, The Fame, reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and is Gaga's top seller in the United States with 5.1 million copies, according to Nielsen Music.

Kinda off considering that this has been reported to have sold 17M (WW) back in 2015. Shouldn't this be higher?

WW sales combine TF + TFM. US (Nielsen) recognizes them as separate albums and reports them as such.

Although 300k pure in 11 months sounds weird to me... with that alone it should be top 100 in the year-end chart :confused:

I wasn't. I know Billboard counts TF and TFM together because in the US TFM was a rerelease, and the last time @ViviLittleM made an inquiry, if I remember correctly, TF is eligible for 9x plat last year, and it continues to sell to date

Even with that it should be on the year-end chart. I think they just reported the wrong numbers last year and this year it was likely up 200k units.

17M is 15M TF(TFM) plus 2M TFM Ep

Or it could be possible that another retailer has made a deal with Nielsen/Billboard and its sales belatedly got added to the total.
