The Fame sold 13 million WW. Do you really think it go down by 9 million? ehh "4 more million" means 2.5 + 4 = 6.5 million WW. ;) lol that sounds more reasonable

I hope the song doesn't leak before the telecast. I'll be holding off on any clips until after the show is over.

Nice about those UK pre-orders. Loving it! Besides that, the Scheiße remix has been stuck in my head ever since I woke up.

Perez really needs to stop with the shameless hype on his site. I believe he quoted someone today, who said the video is "the best thing ever" or something equally ridiculous as that.
I'm going to go ahead and guarantee that this video is definitely not the best thing ever. I'm sure there has got to be, at least 1 thing, in all of history, that is "better" than this video.
The hype is going to eat her alive if she doesn't watch it.

I believe that was the director or someone similar-he was recounting the shooting on his twitter and was excited when it finally wrapped so he said it was the best thing ever. I say let him be excited.

^Well ya, he should be excited, but I think he should keep his mouth shut. His statement, coupled with Gaga's statements that this is going to be the best album of the decade, Elton calling it the gay -I Will Survive, and Perez's incessant posts about the project in general are getting old, slash are already old and actually quite annoying. I love Gaga but I'm sorry, anyone who calls their album the best of the decade, when the decade began about hmm 12.5 months ago, imo is a jackass. Her team needs to sit the fuck down and shut up, and tell everyone else out there building this hype to do so as well. Let the music/performances/whatever else speak for itself.

Technically it could be argued that, since there was no year 0, the decade just started, meaning the only real (relevant) person she's saying her album will be better than in the current decade is... well Britney's (i.e. she's already wrong.) Still, it's horribly presumptuous and, while it's one thing to be confident and playfully cocky, it's another to totally oversell your project before anyone's heard any of the material. I'm not saying it will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if she gets some major flack this era.

Gaga will get flack regardless- shes just that big. It doesn't matter what she or her team says or doesn't say. Basically it is what it is. Now there are times when I would like for her to keep mum (Telephone better than Bad Romance comments) yet I understand how she gets excited about her artistry. I kinda think its great that one really loves what they are doing and wants to share that. Now it can be overkill at times and maybe she will learn how to reel back than again maybe she won't. *shrugs* Something I always go back to is Gaga's comments during her Fuse interview when she was asked about Madonna saying she has that IT factor: 3:07 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiYM-OzG6ywTime shall tell....

I think my prediction at this point is that GaGa will do better worldwide than she will in the US. A la Madonna, Janet, etc. Very possible. Especially since she is doing the different languages, which if dont right will probably be a good move.

I feel like people are being more critical because its Gaga-I have seen similar excited tweets attached to pretty much every major pop star having a new project coming out. Everyone thinks their stuff is the best lol.

GaGa's personality can be similar to Kanye West, but i tend to think she isnt rude or intentionally mean spirited. Just the "toot your own horn" thing. But i think the ego is part of the GaGa personality too....

So, what discoloser posted makes me wonder if every single title of every song on the album is on her Twitter somewhere.

If she hasn't said them on Twitter, she's more than likely said it during her concerts.

Lady Gaga's The Fame tops the 4 million mark in sales this week. It's the first debut album to reach that milestone since Taylor Swift's eponymous 2006 debut, which has sold 4,955,000 copies. The Fame never quite reached #1. It peaked at #2 in the last chart week of 2009, behind Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream. Gaga gets a little bit of revenge this week: She reached 4M before Boyle. I Dreamed A Dream has sold 3,974,000 copies. Legend!

I think my prediction at this point is that GaGa will do better worldwide than she will in the US. A la Madonna, Janet, etc. Agreed. Usually for a breakout American artist, about half or more of their sales came from the US, and then with their follow-up release, the international portion of their sales would start to take the lead. In Gaga's case, less than 40% of her sales came from the US. I'm still surprised actually that she's done so well in America. I thought she would be deemed a tad too aggressive, much like Madonna -- she's no America's sweetheart like Taylor or Britney of the old days. I feel like people are being more critical because its Gaga-I have seen similar excited tweets attached to pretty much every major pop star having a new project coming out. Everyone thinks their stuff is the best lol. Yup, Britney's choreographer tweeted when they'd just wrapped up the shoot that HIAM video would be legendary. The nerve .... ;) And we're still at that album of the decade thing? She said that to her fans during her show when she was thanking them for their support, and she then promised that she would not let them down and would give them the best album of this decade, just for them. Not her fault that every word she (or her people) said get reported. And why is it that some Britney fans think that every word she says has anything to do with Britney?
