Stephen 30,423 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 maybe she doesn't blame anyone. Maybe she doesn't consider an album that sold 2 million worldwide is an "underperformance". BAM. Close this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewStevens 5,249 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I don't think she has ever addressed its underperformance but she has mentioned the reasons why she didn't feel as good as she felt with her past albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djBuffoon 12,115 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 maybe she doesn't blame anyone. Maybe she doesn't consider an album that sold 2 million worldwide is an "underperformance". This ffs. She even said it: "I sold as much as everyone else. I'm sorry I didn't sell 20 million in the first week. I'm very proud of what we've done." She's answered this question many times, but we refuse to consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFD 57 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 She probably has some sort of resentment towards her old management. But I don't even think she considers ARTPOP an underperformance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth 450 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Her old management and the media. I don't think she sees it as an underperformance, but all of the messes that happened eg. the app, never cam to full fruition because of what was going on with management behind the scenes (as far as we know). Then because of this all coming to a head post-youtube music awards when we found out Troy had left, literally a week after ARTPOP was released, it was perfect timing for the media to jump on that, alongside the first week sales ect. and spin it into some huge tragic mess where the album was 'bad' and didn't sell enough copies.

GawdGa 1,399 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 She said multiple times that ARTPOP was a therapy for her after what happened to her w/ BTW Ball. She had a ton of fun messing around and just making fun party music. I don't think she was worried about the money/sales. ☠ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 You know I ain't talking about album sales... to "underperform" you have to compare some measurable item against a target. so if not sales, or chart positions, or some other measurable, then what are you talking about?

I'm talking the floppy app, no music video for DWUW, lack of promo for the singles, negative media towards the album, etc...not so much #1's or sales...

Jjang 2,262 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 to "underperform" you have to compare some measurable item against a target. so if not sales, or chart positions, or some other measurable, then what are you talking about? The album marked a continuously massive decrease in her sales, commercial power and media presence. By that standard, It is considered to be an underperformance. And that's a very valid perspective if you ask me.For instance, if a movie makes $800 million and then the following one in the series makes $300m. Do you think the media will report it as a succcess or rather a very disappointing boxscore? I think the answer is obvious. And the same applies for Gaga's case. You can't really blame anyone for jumping on this opportunity to call out Gaga's weak commercial performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Empty 25,071 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I think she only blames people for constantly calling it "underperforming". And so do I. Happiness will never last, darkness comes to kick your ass... ᵃˢˢ 🕺 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikko 355 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 IMO, it can be considered an underperformance on a gaga standard. Her past 3 albums were massive and ARTPOP failed to maintain the success of the previous eras. Add the fact that people were expecting a lot from this album because it was hyped too much, and when it failed to meet their expectations, they were all like "Gaga is so over", "She's a flop", etc. But yeah let's just move on. Past is past. And lbr, a flop era is a part of every pop star's career. Even pop legends had their ups and downs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
