On Feb. 26, industry forecasters expected that Thank U was going to spend a third week in charge with perhaps 110,000 to 115,000 units, while Star was going to post a big gain, but settle for the runner-up slot with around 100,000 units. So, what happened between then and Feb. 28, the final day of the tracking week that ultimately put A Star Is Born back at No. 1?

It’s likely that Amazon’s sale pricing of the digital album edition of the Star soundtrack pumped a late-in-the-week sales surge for the set. On Feb. 27, the album was priced at $3.99, and then on Feb. 28, it dropped to $2.99. (Lady Gaga tweeted about both sale prices to her 78 million followers, so awareness was high with her fans about the discount.)

 

As it turns out, while Star’s overall units gain by 152 percent, the set’s album sales surge by 166 percent (to 76,000; up from 29,000). Further, its digital album sales rise by 353 percent (to 50,000; up from 11,000).

Didn't Ari discount her album also? So I don't understand what you are trying to imply here

Wow at ASIB being #1 in the BB200 for more weeks than some girls' whole discography.

CHECK THE ARTICLE AGAIN THEY FIXED



Grande's Thank U also got in on the discount action, as the set was sale priced at Amazon and via Grande's official site for $3.99 -- along with temporary price cuts on her merchandise/album bundles.Like Gaga, Grande also socialized sale pricing offers. (Thank U did not dip to $2.99, as Star did, as $3.49 is the minimum price for an album to chart during its first four weeks of release. The new chart reflects Thank U's third week of release.)

Of course that Ari Stan wouldn't include this bit

Honestly who cares about a discount, it's a managers job to make sure an artists work is sold and streamed as much as possible and that's what Bobby and Scooter did, and it's not like both album haven't made millions at full price and spend multiple weeks at #1 anyways.

The article literally says Ariana would have taken the #1 spot had Gaga not discounted. Y’all spent all week trying to shade Ariana for a discount only for it to turn out your fave had to have one just to compete with her

They were both discounted with Gagas album being 22 weeks old and arianas only few weeks lmao. Most of people shaded her for obvious payola and not discount.

Fixed

 

Ariana also discounted her album and bundled it with every possible item under the sun, so if Gaga “had to discount” her album “just to compete” with Ariana, why would Ariana have to discount her 4 week old album if she so confidently was beating Gaga? Your logic makes zero sense
