Spyro 8,438 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Still in the top 10 albums of the year. She can't always be number one. No artist, that has a long term pop career stays at number one. All of them will experience some eras that are less successful. It's this way for everyone. ..Gaga is no different. That's not even a good argument. This isn't about her being in the Top 10 or what not. This is about her sales decreasing for every album since The Fame Monster..

Whispering 18,865 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 You're in danger, the ARTPOP police are going to come in soon and tell you that it's your problem The moment that some people start to realise that the fans are leaving because of the music and not because they're "betrayers" or whatever their excuse is, the better so we can actually discuss topics properly and not have to argue about crap like this! Hope some more of them go, especially from here! There are still plenty of fans around to make Gaga's tour one of the top 10 of 2014. There are more than enough fans to party and have fun with! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro 8,438 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yep, ironic that people hate "negativity", but it generates the most discussion here I know. This is part of another post that I posted in another thread Most of the users prefer to talk about the negative stuff which draws more attention. I even did an experiment one time months ago where I posted a positive thread and it only got <5 replies, while the next one, which was a negative thread got four pages full of replies in the same time I got the 5 or so replies for the positive thread. Negativity just strives people, and truth-be-told nobody really gives a damn if you have something positive to say.. It's not a satisfying answer, but people just like to criticize because it's for better drama and quick thinking. It just strives the forum better.

Whispering 18,865 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Agreed! Super agreed!!! Yes, she does... True, she has to give her label two more albums at some point. When that happens, what type of direction they take and how they choose to market the new material is all up in the air. Glad we could agree on everything!

Tropico 4,145 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Shows you how unrealistic and spoiled this fan base is, when an album that sold 2.3 million, and made it into the top 10 albums worldwide. ..was labeled a "flop". On iTunes I remember it was #1 in multiple countries. But nope, it's a flop. And it was the second highest selling album by a female artist in 2013. They just don't want to admit it's not a flop. :later: ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single artist I listen to has stuff I like and stuff I don't. As many around here are fond of saying you can't expect to like everything. But I move on and wait to see if they do something I do like. Some pop fans don't move on and act like an artist has betrayed them by becoming less popular, there is some wierd ego displacement thing going on there. Complaining that you don't like the music I get, complaining because an artist is less popular or has lower sales makes literally no sense to me. Sales have never been a measure of quality unless you are a corporate accountant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie 68 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I didn't become a fan because she was hugely popular or good at promotion, so it would affect me in no way. She doesn't owe us #1s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you 100% although I haven't seen many people disliking Gaga because of her sales, sure we've all discussed them but I don't think I've seen many take a dislike to her because of it? I don't care if Gaga is singing in bars on in space, if the music is good then I'm good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
