We use MT because there's nothing else tracking WW sales but you do realize that it's far from 100% accuracy right ? So Gaga's label reporting 80K sales more doesn't sound like a reach or over-shipment.

I know it's not 100% accurate thanks but you do realize that labels report shipments and not actual sales + tend to over-estimate total sales just for the hype, right? Also, let's not forget to put the asterisk. 1,921,000* Edited November 23, 2017 by WonderstruckFR

Reputation 1.6M vs 2M => 400k/1.6m x 100 = 25% difference. Born This Way 1.9M vs 2M => 100k/1.9M x 100 = 5% difference. Taking into account a margin of error from MT's random estimates, it seems like Gaga's label was most likely right, while Taylor's might have overshipped. MT would have to be wrong by a whooping 25% for Taylor's numbers to be real. Can you imagine?
Robert Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 The album did like 300K+ in China which MT doesn’t really track so it’s possible
