hoodrat 299 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I get why fans love to boast about the sales of their "fave," but I hope everyone realizes that album sales are VERY quickly becoming obsolete. Like in a year or two I can see albums by the the biggest artists (maybe even Gaga included) debuting at #1 with less than 100k. Actually, now that I think about it, a few big-name artists this year already have... Gaga was so right in the SXSW interview where she said that record companies don't have nearly as much money as they used to...they're lucky if people even legally stream music, but the money pulled in from streaming is so negligible. We're gonna either laugh or cry when we look back on the days we made fun of artists for selling just under 300k. (We'll probably cry cause there'll be no money left for high-budget videos or performances.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernier 3,786 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 *cackles internally* Not because I have anything against her, but she was supposed to be the new it- thing right? :emma: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spock 20,290 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 *cackles internally* Not because I have anything against her, but she was supposed to be the new it- thing right? Same for me Yeah, she has had this amazing promo and was shoved down our throats all year long as the second coming of Jesus. The almost 5 month gap between Problem and the album did not help at all. Guess this further confirms that good single sales don't equate to good album sales! who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANZ 4,380 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 POP music is generally a Boring FLOP these days My Favs = Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin, AKB48 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkCity 10,515 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 this is the girl who is the IT girl in pop at the moment. She's had 2 big hits already and that's the best she can do. And people still wanna say ARTPOP "flopped'...I can't... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homomo 23,839 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Problem and Break Free are the only listenable songs from the whole album. #SorryNotSorry. Love me Harder and Hands on Me say hello :crossed: 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Josh 3 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Average-good sales for 2014. And illegal downloading isn't to blame (piracy is actually declining), but streaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retep 0 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Extremely surprising considering her singles chart positions and promo tour with the VMA's the night before, sad because it's actually a strong album IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALX 170 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It might be because she's just generally boring and never does anything to catch anyone's attention Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Problem, Break Free and Bang Bang blow The Way out of the water, as far as promo and hype. Those three songs, and all the attention around Ariana, have turned her into one of today's biggest pop girls. Due to all the promo, hype and the fact that three songs are getting major airplay on multiple formats at the current time, the minimal growth over "Yours Truly" is disappointing. I really thought it was going to be way more! I don't think people on here realize how little appeal Ariana has outside of internet teen girls. and gay boys? ;) Teen girls buy tons of Taylor Swift and 1D albums, though.
