7Days 7 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 She hyped the album as the best album she ever made and she spent a lot of money into with the NASA projects she made, ArtRave, the app, koons statue etc. And the album ended selling 2 million, she had a top 10 hit and a moderate hit + a tour that won't reach $100 million WW so for Gaga it is a BIG FLOP. but if ARTPOP was released by a regular artist it wouldn't have been labeled a flop.

Jjang 2,262 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Lets put it that way. She tremendously decreased in commercial success, exposure, money making and the quality of her performances / outcome. So yeah, for me, it was a flop era as it didn't deliver half of what Gaga promised artistically and commercially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eifulien 2,960 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Flop - NEVER. ARTPOP is a sacred album for me... :cry: It did well with other albums released in the same period - BEYONCÉ, Prism, The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2. It just didn't impress the critics (who gives a f*ck about them anyway?) and didn't match the expectations of many fans (based on my observation of the members here on GGD). It's not a game-changer but people failed to realize it was never meant to be one. Gaga can't always deliver something like Born This Way. It's a fun, light, up-lifting party album with a immature youthful message. When it comes to its somewhat limited reach to the GP - it really was wasted potential due to mismanagement and wrong decisions behind the curtains. Sum it up and we have the ARTPOP era - short with lukewarm reception but what we did get was precious and exceptionally good. Let's focus on what we have, and not forget that all things aside - ARTPOP is musically genius - production, tracklist, vocals, the focus on detail is astonishing...

Alcina Dimitrescu 1,156 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 ARTPOP failed its mission, its purpose. While you cant blame the commercial thing to Gaga, music wise it could have been what it was supposed to, the big bang, the aura exploration, the adrenalines, the reverse warholian explorations. But nope. It was just a fun album if that counts for something. Thats why in my eyes its a flop DWUW was a hit. :sharon: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropico 4,145 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Not at all. Sure, it wasn't BTW slayage but really this does not equate to flop. It did quite well but the chart monsters who are easily swayed by the monsters. :sweep: And the music? SLAYED. :party: ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewYorkCity 10,536 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The fact that this is her flop era (compared with her previous ones) and she is selling almost in pair with ImNotGoingToSayNames who are right now on their peak... just shows how much of a flop Lady Gaga is. Was it a downgrade from the previous ones? Yes Was it a flop? NO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicPOPdream 4 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I think the era flopped big time, and I'm not talking about sales only. There was nothing organised with this era whatsoever. The vision and concept got lost in translation and the performances were few and really just okay. Only three singles and two videos. The album might sold okay but everything else from this era was a dissapointment. Mess. You are the weakest link. You are a flop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VforVendetta 2,024 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 MDNA and ARTPOP's success are very similar. So there you go. Don't ****ing quote me, okay. I don't care about number details. SIngles wise ARTPOP was definitely much bigger.^^^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagz 2,579 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Look at what it accomplished: A #1 album (only her second album to go #1) 2 Top 10 songs 5 Hot 100 songs Her biggest radio hit A #1 on Billboard Dance charts A tour with sold-out dates No, it didn't flop. Regardless of her last success and expectations, this can't be considered a flop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
