TheOriginalOne 10,924 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Guess the shiny/glossy Prism cover thing didn't work, but those are pretty good numbers. But considering that she came off such a successful era and has a ton of promo and gp loves her, I excepted it to be much higher than that! It honestly kind of scares me for ARTPOP. I'm hoping Gaga can pull through though. And I hope the foil works. Anyone know the number of preorders for ARTPOP so far??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaprincess 23 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I feel those numbers are so low considering someone of her caliber. I thought she would do at least 500k. Does make me wonder about how gaga will do...I know the charts don't matter, etc. But id be lying if I said I don't want gaga to do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adakam 2 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This is very surprising tbh They didnt even cover the 300k seed paper ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I am not going to say anything more about the Prism sales, except that I am secretly relieved and laughing inside. However, karma is a b*tch and it would suck for all of us if GaGa debuts the same or (lord almighty I'm saying it) lower than Katy. Now, I don't actually believe she'll debut lower than KP, but anything is possible. Just imagine how much GaGa will be dragged if her receipts in 3 weeks are the same as these... so y'all stop dragging these numbers. If Gagz comes around in 2 weeks and snatches all these b*tches' weaves and opens with 350k+ then y'all can continue with your dragging. Until then, careful what you say. You wouldn't want karma to come around and bite us in the a** :ghostney: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaMiles 0 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I would be ecstatic to have 287K sold. If this was any indie, rock, or EDM act this would be amazing numbers. However, for Katy's status in music right now, it pretty much solidifies herself as a singles artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,923 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm sure Gaga can do better than Prism. We got the attendance for the first few US shows of the BTWB and there were over 33,000. We don't know the attendance for the next 14 dates. And Live Nation claimed there were around 200,000 tickets sold for the cancelled shows. Add all that up, and her US attendance was over 400,000. At least. It's safe to assume that 99% of those tickets were sold to true fans by this point. It was the last stop of her tour with an album that was over 2.5 years old and had been forgotten about by the public. So, I think those numbers were an accurate representation of how many actual fans she has. If all those who attended buy a copy in the first week, plus the public to help out, she could do 400,000+ copies easily. Though I'm hoping for more. This would be a good time to remind all US Gaga fans to BUY A COPY OF ARTPOP IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY. I'm hearing many American members here saying they've pre-ordered a physical copy from Amazon UK because they want the special foil edition and the UK site is the only one that guarantees the foil edition when you preorder. This will not count as a US sale because it was purchased through a foreign site. Is it really worth sacrificing Gaga's US debut week sales because of some irrelevant foil cover? It's not like you're going to sell your beloved copy of ARTPOP in the future when this special edition is worth a lot of money, will you? I am not going to say anything more about the Prism sales, except that I am secretly relieved and laughing inside.

You wouldn't want karma to come around and bite us in the a** :ghostney: If there's anyone who karma is going to bite, it's Katy. It was all revealed that her album was indeed scheduled for next year, but she rushed things to get it released earlier. Notice how she announced all her new material details shortly after Gaga, and they were all 2 weeks or so ahead of her plans? There's no way that was unintentional. I think she wanted to jump in ahead of her because she was that confident that with her last successful era and America loving her, that she could steal Gaga's thunder. She was scared that Gaga would take over if she waited until next year to release and she may get overlooked. It was one of the worst cases of playing dirty that I'd ever seen. It's on par with the geeky girl sending out invites to her party and then the popular girl announces a party on the same day "by coincidence." I said that I hoped karma would get Katy eventually for this little stunt. Sure, Roar went to #1 and the album gave her the best critical reception of her career, but then things started to go downhill...Her promotional truck crashed, she was called out on plagiarism concerning Roar, Walking On Air was a damp squib of a promo single, the album garnered a very mixed reaction from fans who thought it was full of filler, her first week album sales worldwide were lacklustre and Unconditionally is going absolutely nowhere despite being a follow up to Roar. Looks like this is going to be her BTW. Only BTW had better critical reviews and better sales. If there's one thing she's going to have in common with BTW, it could be that Prism doesn't win any Grammys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
