The Fame Monster is the third extended play (EP) and second major release by American recording artist Lady Gaga. The album's eight songs were initially intended to be part of a re-release of Gaga's debut album The Fame. However, Gaga announced that the new songs would be available as a standalone album, as she thought the re-release was too expensive and that, as the piece represents a separate conceptual and musical body of work, it does not need the songs of The Fame to support it.

It was released as a separate album and should count as such.

It was released as a separate album in the US alone, everywhere else (apart from Australia I think) It was released as the deluxe album

Either way she's #1

YAY for TT at 12 :D Although near 2 million out of those 2.2 are UK sales.

they could move into the top 10 before the end of the year proper. Its still selling big at UK No1 and only 0.1 mill behind Sade and Alecia who are not selling strong right now.

[Smithy]

3 days to sell 100,000 albums?

I doubt it

[Zippy]

3 days to sell 100,000 albums?

I doubt it

but when were those sales figures taken?

plus 0.1 is a rounded figure. It could be 50,000 difference or something.

[Smithy]

They were released today, don't know when they were taken, but seeing as it's so close to the end of the year, I doubt they'll change now

[Princess]

They could easily sell that in a few days,they've sold near 2 million in 6 weeks and the sales are on at the minute.

well yes, it sold 433,000 in its 6th week alone in the UK. Which took its sales to 1.87mill in the UK. Plus it has sold well all over Europe going top 5 in about 10 countries inc No1 in Germany, Greece, Denmark, Ireland. Its still top 5 in Germany so must be shifting huge amounts there too.

So 100k in 3 days seems very do-able.

[Princess]

It's still Number 1 in Ireland as far as I know. Not that we count for much but still.

That's pretty remarkable for Gaga seeing as she only had 2 singles out this year. Great sales for Katy, Ke$ha, Taylor and SuBo too. Also surprising to see that the Glee Christmas album has sold over a million copies already and that the Black Eyed Peas have sold over a million with such a dire album (The Beginning). Just shows even if an album is crap it will still sell well because of the artist, quite sad really.

Surprised at Lady Antebellum's sales too, but I expect most of them sales are from America and Canada.

[Marc]

Seriously SuBo needs to fuuuuuck off! She's so annoying, yes we understand that you can sing and that its an amazing feet considering you're ugly as sin. Now go away

[MeMyselfAndI]

Eminem will overtake Lady Gaga just before 2011
hes only 100k away and thats nothing worldwide for him in a week. and lady gagas sales have dropped alot due to the fact everyone has it now

He won't, if sales continue as they have been doing for the past week, it's likely the chart won't change, plus, with BTW being released soon TFM has started climbing again, it's at #40 in the UK whereas Eminems at #44

15. Rihanna - Loud
Def Jam - 2,0 million copies


Rihanna sold 2 million copies of LOUD in just 5 weeks.
Single artist, my arse.

Congrats to GaGa.
