The album is at 2.4 million at Mediatraffic. The actual album units (sales+streaming). Now suddenly certifications for the album and singles are now the album sales LMFAO.

Nope, it's the Era Certifications. That's what it says.

Besides, the album is heading towards 3 million WW and potentially more than that anyways. Those 3.6 million not being for the actual album alone doesn't change the fact that the album could break 3.6 million considering it's currently the best-selling album worldwide three months after release.

so it's no.1 three months after it's release. Wasn't the Greatest Showman no.1 a few weeks ago, a more than a year after it's release. The album is doing well but it's not breaking any records so what's with the update every single day.

The album isn't only doing well, it's doing VERY well. The Greatest Showman was at 2.2 million after 14 weeks, ASIB is at 2.4 million after 14 weeks, so it's doing better in that time frame. Shallow is bigger than anything from TGS and it has legs as well. And all this is before the Oscars and the Grammys.

You always downplay Gaga's success.

Considering that The Greatest Showman didn't have 1/10 of the hype that A Star is Born had and not even a hit single I would think selling 2.2. million after 14 weeks compared to ASIB's 2.4 million is more remarkable.

Always?

And considering ASIB spun a big hit and another song gaining traction without being a single is remarkable as well. TGS sold well without hits, but ASIB sells well AND has hits, how is that not impressive?

One might also consider the fact that ASIB's songs aren't in a genre that's exactly used to slaying charts internationally either, so that's remarkable as well.

Always?

There's always a "but..." with you when it comes to Gaga.
