Billboard is calling Adele as next weeks #1 It's what I was expecting in the end but it's kind of worrying it's being called so early in the week. I thought 120k would be a lock for this week but it looks like it might not be :( Hopefully "Edge of Glory" exploding will soften the drops in the next few weeks.

Can't wait for Adele to match Taylor's chart run! The Grammys can't come fast enough.

What happens if Adele gets shut out @ Grammys? (winning that is) I'm not sure if that would be funny or embarassing.

That said, it's pretty clear that most people that defend their faves' use of discounts for more sales only do it because it's their fave and not because they agree with it.
I remember seeing people get on Katy before BTW was released about how many weeks TD was discounted then all of a sudden their tunes changed when the 99cent deal for Gaga came around. #hotmessdotcom.
Even now, I've see Britney getting attacked on certain blogs for doing the $3.99 deal and a lot of the attackers appear to be Gaga stans who really shouldn't be talking. It just shows hypocrisy and kind of makes your defense for your own faves' using it, laughable.

Anybody who "disagrees" with discounts is a moron. I can't believe people are actually complaining about something being CHEAPER than it should be. Really?

Oh wow I don't remember people attacking Katy for it. The first time I remember any talk of "cheating" with discounts is Taylor's original amazon deal or, if we want to go classic, Mariah's 49 cent singles. I don't remember people attacking Katy, but I guess that is because this place is 99% worship of Katy and I don't really visit other places. I also haven't seen the vicious attacks on Britney, but I don't doubt that is happening-pop fans in general can be an emotional crowd. You should have seen some of the Brit fans going in on Gaga for her debut week! Not to mention endless stan wars between pop chicks, of course.

^Tbh, it was more poking fun at Katy than attacking really. The Gaga/Britney discounts are definitely attacked but Katy's was seen as more comical, especially Gaga stans. I guess they don't find anything funny about her $0.99 discounts tho #justsaying. And I completely agree BILLYS. Discounts are definitely in no way shape or form ever a bad thing imo, it's just the people that conveniently use it (to defend and attack). 6/7: GaGa vs. Adele 6/14: Bad Meets Evil 6/21: GaGa vs. Adele 6/28: Beyonce #1 album predictions for the month Fixed. It'll be Adele from thereon out imo.

I didn't defend GaGa for the discount because it wasn't GaGa's to defend. It was Amazon's. It just so happened to be on a GaGa product. #oop I really could care less if any other acts get the same treatment. Actually, I am a lot more interested in seeing a Year-to-year increase that I say, bring on the cheap music Amazon or whoever!

I'd argue Gaga is far more talented than Adele. They can both sing and write, but Gaga can perform while Adele just stands there...

Well, do you expect hot "Rhythm Nation" type of choreography to songs like "Rolling In The Deep" or "Someone Like You"? ???

I remember the first time India.Arie was nominated for Grammys and she had about 6 nominations and was the critical talk of the town. She went home with nothing. I felt real bad for her.
