VISION 52 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well that's not true xD But ARTPOP did sell well for 2013's sales Maybe one or two sold more..but which albums released in 2014 have sold more than 2 mln? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brizoda 3,948 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 for me ARTPOP is her best álbum with BTW- if gypsy would have been the second single and had been promoted properly could have been a great success Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 50,631 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I mean I just think Katy Perry is really popular right now and works with the right people. But tbh, Katy could never pull the **** Gaga does. And thats what I mean....like Gaga tries to actually bring art into pop. I do however feel Katy is at her best when she writes darker stuff and her image is darker. I Kissed A Girl was actually kinda polarizing and Part of Me/Wide Awake had dark elements that were beautiful perhaps... but its still a matter of opinion... Gagas stuff is more abstract and symbolic. but what makes abstract more artistic than art? Gwen Stefani wasnt as abstract (usually) but she was hugely creative using realism with a very light touch of abstract and symbolism U can be easy to digest and be just as talanted or good. I do agree tho that theres a lot of stuff KAty couldnt pull off that gaga did tho I happen to like her stuff tho. Most people here hated the Dark Horse video. I happened to love the cleopatra theme with the Egyptians... plus she looked smoking hot in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VersaceKing 419 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Unconditionally also didn't do well.. She is obviously not irrelevant or something..But she really declined from her last album.. This one has only 2 hits. Unconditionally peaked #14 - which is more worse then Do What U Want (#13 peak) and people still call DWUW a flop. Of course Katy is not irrelevant - she's still selling out shows and selling records - just not as much (Prism sold 2.8M± worldwide and ARTPOP sold 2.5M± worldwide) and Prism is considered her "BORN THIS WAY" era - 2 huge hits (Born This Way and TEOG) and 3 "small" hits (Judas, Yoü And I , MTN)...

Nemo 4,321 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 But it is also quite obvious that compared to some of her contemporaries, she is the one that decreased most in popularity.No, it isn't. Third consecutive #1 album. /thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMaisonGaga 23,884 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 that's why this jazz era is good for her expecting a controversal and shocking era after this Jazz is helping her climb her way up. It's just a little side project so she has a huge name again to slay them basics back. Iggy, Taylor, Charlie XCX etc. aren't prepared and didn't experienced the real Gaga yet. lamaisongaga.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VersaceKing 419 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well that's not true xD But ARTPOP did sell well for 2013's sales ARTPOP sold 2.5M± WW BEYONCÉ sold 3.5M± WW Prism sold 2.8M± WW Those were the biggest albums releases this year. and of course 1989 - will sell at least 2M± this week WW.

Economy 50,631 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Not necessarily crap, but basic, simple, and relatable. but why is that bad? art that reflects realism can be just as good as abstract or symbolism same with music. Some people especially fans of artists like Gaga like to insinuate that if ur art is more normal that it isnt talanted... It still takes creativity. It just seems mroe basic and easy to digest because its more "real" vs Gagas stuff being mroe symbolic or abstract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SISTERV 3,887 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 No, it isn't. Third consecutive #1 album. /thread Yeah but ARTPOP narrowly became a #1 album. BTW had radio stations all over the world doing Lady Gaga Day when the damn album came out and it sold almost 2 million WW in it's debut week.

Quark 7,098 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 I am talking relative to herself. The others are still relatively very successful compared to their previous selves. No, it isn't. Third consecutive #1 album. /thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
