How much has Lady Gaga sold?
There is a really funny row taking place on Youtube between Britney fans and Lady Gaga fans. Anyway one of Lady Gaga's fans is claiming that Lady Gaga has sold 45 million copies of The Fame and that she has sold 370 million records in total.
Is this true? |

Britney has sold more but Gaga will catch her up probably.

That is nowhere near true! This would mean she's the best selling female musician ever, which Ofcourse could never be true for someone only 4 years in the game, especially with current album sales. I think she has sold about 110million records, which ofcourse is great
Her x factor VT stated she had sold over 100mill back in November but I think I saw the most recent calculations make it about 110. What gaga does have going for her is how international she is, the fact that she can sell out stadiums in territories some of her other pop contempories are virtually unknown suggests that her sales are great in many unaccounted territories, especially in Asia and South America |

Probably 50 million downloads and less than 20 million albums.

I think its somewhere around 70-80 millon records. Last time I read anything about this subject it was about 20 million albums and 50-60 millon singles.

45 million copies of The Fame. Huh yeah. She wishes. That would make it the biggest selling album ever by a female, which she isn't. Come On Over is.

Is this true? Gaga will most likely end up selling more digital singles than Britney due to Britney's peek success being in the pre-digital era. However with that being said Britney has sold more albums than Gaga will ever sell as her peek was when album sales where good, unlike today so they really can't be compared. I mean for example say Gaga has 110million records (25m albums:85m singles) and Britney only 80million (50m albums:30m singles) can that really be compared? can you really say Gaga has sold more than Britney when the majority of hers are singles sales? You just can't compare record sales from an artist 10 years ago to now. Why some Gaga fans can't just accept that other artists have success aswell maybe it be larger or smaller and i say Gaga fans because they seem to constantly attacking others who have success i.e Rihanna, Katy, Beyonce, Xtina and even Madonna back in the day. It's ridiculous. NOTE: I'm not saying all Gaga fans, some are nice.

Some of the figures quoted on here are a massive exaggeration

No doubt certain people on her will exaggerate her sales.
Her single sales show you how easy it is for artists to sell huge amount of singles in a small amount of time in the digital age. Take "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha for example. That crap has sold over 12 million worldwide and is one of the biggest selling of all time. Singles sales from the pre-download age are a lot more impressive than those of today since there wasn't the choice of downloading one song for 89p back then. |

This thread certainly proves one thing
When it comes to record sales --- and I would argue those for Any artist --- No one really has a clue

Exactly, lots of figures are grossly exaggerated. I don't think Gaga has sold anything like the figures quoted on here but where Gaga is concerned the hype and exaggeration is ridiculous such as 2 million applying for her concert tickets when the reality is the second Twickenham gig hasn't even sold out yet

Saying that, in her short period she has sold alot though. Although I think her peak is over but I may be wrong. |

Lady Gaga has not sold over 100 million. Toanythingtaboo is known for acting like Lady gaga is the saviour of music and the biggest selling artist on the planet. He/she is deluded. That link is from another forum where another fan like himself posted those sales with no link. There is nothing on the net of her passing 100 million nor has there been any announcement. If she had sold that much her team would be jumping at the guns to release a statement for publicity.

I thought Born This Way (single) was at about 9 mill + now, but yeah i think this is about right
![]() Interscope hasn't officially certified anything for well over a year, so we'll have to wait for confirmation. My guess is they'll do it in prep for ARTPOP. |

Ok, then convince me that Lady Gaga has sold over 100 million records. Show me evidence of her passing 100 million sales with an official statement or news from billboard or other sales websites.
Im not slagging her off, Im not one for slagging off artists im just merely stating the truth. I dont understand why you crazy fans act like its the end of the world when someone challenges what you say. |

How about you convince us that she definitely hasn't sold 100 million records if you're so sure the above link is wrong?

Maybe she has and if she has then impressive. However I would have thought that some website or announcement would have been made. You get soo many exagerations on here its laughable. But I would agree shes not far off it.

Your argument is severely undercut by the fact that you're presuming that there would have been an announcement. It wouldn't surprise me if they held back on the announcement until the spring when her new album is going to be released.
