Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If you actually raised the money to buy 250k copies of ARTPOP, you would have to purchase only a few thousand a week for them not to get suspicious. You would also have to vary whether they were digital or physical copies, and change the source of who's buying them so Nielsen and Billboard don't figure out it's just one person/entity. Honestly it'll go platinum anyway. Blackout was released in 2007, but didn't sell 1m copies in the US until 2013. ARTPOP may hit it a few years down the road. Do you think it would be a good idea to start one though? Like let's say someone raised $10 I would buy a copy off Amazon and ship it to them?I could make a kickstarter now and start a thread in the Converstation Area!

IDK, it would depend on how much work you would be willing to put into it. You would have to start out with a financial goal, and probably have to promote outside of this website Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I bought the album already on iTunes so instead of buying them individually would it be a good idea to gift them to people who back the fund? Would gifting them on itunes count toward Billboard?

Arturo 40,746 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I doubt it will sell over 2 million copies... I think he meant in the U.S. That should happen in the course of 3 weeks considering its last update was in mid-2014 and it had 537k copies sold. C2C is at 515k.

Yes, because it wouldn't be all at once. Still a lot of work nonetheless. I would get people to help you. I doubt it will sell over 2 million copies... Think he meant US, where they're both somewhere in the 500k range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWUWPerez 98 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 To be honest, I would love if we all started a campaign to promote Gypsy. I know a lot of people want to move on from the era, but I just can't get over how it was snubbed. It is going be a long while before we get any new music from Gaga, and I think it would be a great project for us to do. It seems more reasonable than trying to buy 250k copies of ARTPOP, which will probably go platinum eventually. We could promote it online, and consider doing download days. We have many artists and people who are amazing at creating videos in this fanbase so if they all got together and created some visuals, they could create something great. I don't know, just an idea.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEANUS 15,582 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 749. ARTPOP (+5) They need to keep this album on discount FOREVER and Interscope could make a page+banner on iTunes for their "Great Albums+Great Price" or something. That way they'll make money on ARTPOP, V, Native, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, etc. I think it'd be smart and all the albums could rise to the top 100 (if it's no already there) and stabilize in the lower 200s :) Everyone wins :shrug: British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a discount it'll sell ~1,000 a week slowly but surely and hit 800,000 by the end of the year. But I guess they don't wanna do that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess they don't wanna do that That's not counting when she releases a new album, video, etc. All of that will boost sales, slowly but surely. I think when Gaga releases her next pop album/ the album should DEFINITELY be discounted. More traffic=more sales. This isn't to mention physical retailers like Target, Walmart, etc., where the album could randomly be placed in the new music section for no apparent reason. I mean I still see Born This Way in my local Walmart's new music section every once in a while. Same goes for ARTPOP, I've seen it a couple times these past couple of months also. For the rest of time, it should be like this: ARTPOP Physical - $9.99 EVERYWHERE; ARTPOP Digital - $7.99 on iTunes and Google Play British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
