Tropico 4,145 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The actual sales were 2.3 .million in 2013 alone. You're right but people here are patchetic and will just do anything to put down ARTPOP. :toofunny: ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 whether 1.8 or 2.3, people labeled it a flop. Doesn't mean she has to be pre-manufactured plastic pop star. Learn to balance things out ya'll. This fanbase is soooooooo divided!!! 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".

Isn't it funny, that the majority of the "doubters" come from a particular group that stans for a particular artist. Yeah, everyone knows what's going on here. ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was also and mostly labeled flop by people outside of this fanbase, what we call 'GP' and media! So that just strengthens my point about Gaga having to get out of her confort zone!

Spyro 8,438 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The actual sales were 2.3 .million in 2013 alone. LOOK, I ain't gonna argue with you with it being 2.3m or 1.8m.. But to make a note, Born This Way sold 668,000 copies in it's first week (not including the Amazon sales). Compare that to ARTPOP's first week sales of 258,000. THAT'S a huge drop in first week sales of 62% in just a two year difference! In BTW's second week, it sold 174,000 copies, while ARTPOP in its second week sold 46,000, which is a 74% drop in a two year difference. Bottomline - her sales are decreasing at a fast pace and the reason is because ARTPOP didn't hold to the expectations of her fans.

Benji 20,113 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The next era won't be anything like ARTPOP. She's got her management sorted out and she's in good shape again. She obviously wants to be back on top (despite what she may say) and she'll work hard to get there and win back her fans with the next era. As for the quality of the work, and whether it will be as good as her peak eras, that depends largely on the people she works with. But I have faith she knows what to do. This so much! I have so much faith that the era after C2C will be great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
