This is really comical, actually. Interesting how other fan-bases are struggling with basic industry facts and information. Of course, a single d/l is not all of a sudden going to be counted as an album, just because it is run via a custom app.

Nowhere in this whole back and forth on that tumblr post does anyone point out the obvious, that Gaga does this via an own app, not to increase any sales counts, but rather so that she can avoid giving a cut of 30 % to i-tunes or amazon.

In fact, I predict that within months now, all major labels will offer such an app. It makes sense to have it, they don't have to code it artist specific, they just make it flexible enough that they can offer it for every artist who has music to be downloaded. In fact, this solution might do for mobile apps d/l market what the online stores have done for CDs and laptop d/l. Undercut Amazon and i-tunes and retain a bit more money for the house.
