Well, it's hard to read much into that number, but for what it's worth here are the top five selling albums in the US this year, so far.

01 3,049,000 FROZEN
02 761,000 BEYONCÉ
03 739,000 PURE HEROINE
04 708,000 THE OUTSIDERS
05 702,000 GHOST STORIES

Lorde's sold 739,000 of her album?

1.4 million total. 700 of it this year.

ummph

i would kill to see PJ experiment like U2 did on Pop.

these are great

So, is this album automatically downloading to people's Ipods or something? I don't get all the hate. I can understand if people don't like it, but it's free music. Delete it if you don't like it.

I'm kind of mesmerized by this, right now.

They absolutely look like a group of old management-level guys at an office somewhere thought it would be cute to show up to the Halloween party as U2, and after the CEO presented the best costume award they all talked about how the company is doing great but we really need to rev it up this quarter guys, cos the years not over and we all know we're the best at what we do right?

i just realized you would mock them no matter what...so why bother?
