Hmm?

This is insane. Almost 100k in pure sales is amazing. iTunes charts don't matter as much because K-Pop albums are better purchased as physical albums because of the perks.

BTS is really doing it.

Reaching #1 when so many English speaking acts fail to do so.

Then they are just anti-Britney. No one can deny Britney's impact in pop culture. Her career was huge and it pre-dates all these social media platforms and Youtube that make artists more accessible and in Taylor's case "friends" with the fans.

You must be very young.

Hi. --- More artists need to go the K-Pop route and release albums like Taylor did.

Does the UPS 3 digital copies count towards this? Taking Gaga's BTW deal to the next level.

Biggest boy group in the world atm.

BTS

omg BTS! Doing so well in the states. I guess they have that ~western validation~ that anti's like to bring up when their success is proven.

As a pretty big Gaga fan pre-Cheek To Cheek, I really need to give Joanne a full listen again.

ICONIC! Selling 18 million for one single.

BTS Those rapper streams are too much.

I am shocked! I felt bad cuz her antics are reeking of desperation. I'm happy for her though.

Eh, you're just grasping at anything possible to try to prove that Gaga's over. First week sales are always higher, so if Million Reasons was released 2 days before as the Madonna song, it'd be even higher than what it is going to chart. The conclusion that we can jump to is that it was a smart idea to do the Superbowl to continue her rise back to being a major pop girl. Like her or not, she's been in the public eye lately, and not just for stunts.

Thank you for this OP. The Superbowl is gonna make a lot of these numbers jump.

I'm so happy for her success. I feel like this performance has made me a stan again.
