According to Nielsen Soundscan, Born This Way is expected to sell 200,000 copies in it's second week. That would be for copies available at regular price opposed to .99 cents as in the first week of sales. Sales from the first week were 1.1 million copies. That is a drastic drop in sales and hardly something to call "strong". This is also a really good indicator of how well Gaga would really have done had Born This Way been sold without the gimmicks and deals. Furthermore, it goes on to show that her Little Flop Monsters were the ones responsible for the overinflated number because they bought multiple copies of the album that was practically free.
This projected drastic drop in sales in very fitting for Gaga. At this point, her lack of originality, her over compensating, pathetic, clownish ways and fraudulent sales tricks are starting to become opaque. People are seeing her for what she really is. The charm is wearing off and a vast number are no longer enchanted with the Madonna Wanna Be.
This is not a Born This Way Nation, according to celebrity blogger and Gaga ass kisser, Perez Hilton. The second week of sales, if at all accurate to the projected number, is more like a Flop This Way Nation.
