Whether you think Lady Gaga flopped or not with 'Joanne' all depends on however way you look at it.
‘Joanne’ shifted 170K copies in pure sales during the first week. The overall figure was 201K with Sales Plus Streaming (SPS). As a result, the album tops this week’s Billboard 200. She is now only the 4th act this year to debut with 200k or higher with SPS included. Congrats!
