theahsfan 13,595 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Make sure to show receipts But was Joanne a flop? I know it didn't do amazingly well, but I don't think it was supposed to either because I'm sure Gaga knew it was hardly gonna break the higher ends of the charts for long, as it simply wasn't generic EDM and was primarily country.. it was a gift of sentiment to the fans. She's proven with The Cure that if she really wants to crack the Top 10 end of the charts then she could (with hardly any promotion at that). Was it considered good for a pop/soft rock/country album or was it a general flop? How did it compare to other albums released in 2016? Receipts? FYI, I personally thought Joanne was amazing.

TSUNAMI 20,193 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 No. It did better than albums by artists that are currently far further with streaming than Gaga was/is. There is no flop in Joanne. Considering how little promo it get it slayed. But you guys are unaware of the good that Joanne made - she let Gaga to create another image - zoned down image that was more acceptable to the world - and Gaga is smart enough to know how to profit from that, you just wait.

Reality 65,741 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 It definitely wasn't a smash album, but I don't think it was a flop. A flop is what Katy's singles are doing right now, not having one of the top 3 female selling albums of this year Spoiler Don't take that comment too seriously Spoiler Kind of true though 🃏🖤👹 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipthistea 21,099 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think it's the best selling album by a Female in 2017 (Pure Sales) , or at least that's what I read somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,879 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Joanne actually did great in the US, its in the top rankings for sales in its year her international performance was subpar but Joanne had a heavy americana vibe that was never going to resonate well outside of the US. Europe & Oceania likes its dancepop. The Cure's international performance is great evidence she still has her international grip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
