Amazon.com Inc.’s one-day, 99-cent promotion of Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated second studio album, “Born This Way,” is resulting in downloading delays on the Internet retailer’s website due to high volume, the company said Monday.
Amazon thanked users for their patience on its website and on Twitter, saying consumers who ordered “Born This Way” on Monday would get the full Lady Gaga album for the promotional price. Lady Gaga, a Grammy-winning multiplatinum pop star, is known for an unusual sense of style as well as hits including “Just Dance” and “Poker Face.”
A majority of Amazon users’ reviews for the album were poor, although they mostly focused their complaints on an inability to download all 14 tracks.
An Amazon representative wasn’t immediately available to provide additional comment on the delays.
