As soon as I saw Rihanna do that photoshoot with the ****in' unibrow I knew her album would flop. 

[Psychedelic 1,098]

BBHMM has gwon on me and American Oxygen is good. I don't think she will flop, she will just underperform in comparison to her all previos very successful eras... the immense slayage couldn't last forever, I'm sure Ririh remains unbothered!

[Girrr 1,086]

Lame article. She isn't doing well, because the music is simply not up to her own standards. And I hate when authors compare artists' success. It adds nothing meaningful to the article. 

[blacklistedd 599]

yeah and thank god for that

anyway, how hard is it for people to get? shes an artist that dominates because of streaming and shes limited herself completely by only being available on tidal. if her songs were on spotify she'd probably be doing significantly better. I dont feel like its at all a reflection of her actual popularity, I mean shes not Beyonce, she doesn't have people bleeding for her music so its not like limiting herself as much as she has was ever going to work for her regardless of what the music sounds like. Rihanna dominates because shes accessible in every sense of the word, right now shes made her music inaccessible and I don't mean in terms of sound I mean literally inaccessible.

Actually, Katy wasn't the big winner of 2013. That honor goes to One Direction, with Eminem, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars behind them. 

Katy had 2 MASSIVE world wide singles, she was the big winner of 2013 for sure

She needs to stop smoking weed all day and do something good for this era. This 'i dont care' attitude she has atm is the same attitude Gaga had in 2012-13 when she was smoking a lot of weed and it didn't end well.

​Rihanna has always given off a cool "I don't care" aura - but before her sound was hot and her producers and label were  spot on with strategy.

Gaga problem was that she cared too much, so that criticism either got under her skin, or she got depressed, or she overworked herself.

Not according to the actual worldwide numbers.

The music has been disappointing tbh 

I hope there's something better on this album cause American Oxygen is quite boring and BBHMM is pure trash. I usually hate when people say a genre is not real music but that song is the best example of 'not music', it's atrocious.

I get that she is trying to be different but she can do better. She can do hip hop without being trashy and basic.

Truly her ARTPOP era wow

[Guest]

Why comparing that mess to ARTPOP?

Applause did WAY better than FFS

DWUW did way better than BBHMM too 

 

and Unapologetic sold 3millions WW with the help of Diamonds and Stay

 

ARTPOP managed to sell 2,8M, believe me, R8 won't sell 2M WW because her fanbase isn't that big and since there's no real hit the GP won't buy this record.

 

PS: ARTPOP is one of the best album of all time, FFS, BBHMM and AO are just trash

[gagaisitalian 3,573]

Pretty sure she knew that her recent music wouldn't be well received. But she's at the point in her career were it's not about her charting.

I love BBHMM tbh.

[Jesse Pinkman 4,660]

Lmao this thread is a mess.

[Mister Gaga 22,007]

Ha Britney Jean era is definitely coming
