The Fame Monster and current chart topper Lady Gaga managed to sell a million copies of her new album Born This Way. In her sit down with the Wall Street Journal, Gaga commends Amazon for their part in helping her album reach platinum status in a week, and even says that her album isn't worth more than 99 cents.
“No. I absolutely do not, especially for MP3s and digital music. It’s invisible. it’s in space. If anything, I applaud a company like Amazon for equating the value of digital versus the physical copy, and giving the opportunity to everyone to buy music. It also wasn’t really 99 cents, because Amazon paid the difference on all of those purchases as part of their promotional campaign for one of their new services. I think it’s amazing and it was a really nice surprise and I felt honored that they chose my record to be part of it.”
Gaga gets touchy when compared to the late great Michael Jackson, but does divulge on her inspiration for music and how she's built her brand up to this point.
