Emvee 8,357 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 ARTPOP was TWO years ago. Look around. The fan base is even smaller than it was in 2013. Apple Music will certainly take off and make iTunes a secondary (maybe even an obsolete) way of getting music. Expect LG5's sales to be even lower than ARTPOP's. Im not saying this as a bad thing, I'm saying y'all need to suck it up and pay less attention to how your favorite artist's music charts and more on how it makes you feel. Happy listening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan Heart 7,382 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I don't really care about the sales, I just don't want some sad little grey people destroying her album and tearing Gaga apart. They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Child 18,997 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 You can't be sure of that, LG5 will be her comeback if it's handled, well you can expect slightly better first week sales. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropico 4,145 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The sales climate has deteriorated in the last two years so I won't be surprised. Or upset. It's whatever. If you compare the sales of the early 2000's when going platinum was almost a given to now in 2014 when there were only 2 platinum female albums, then you can tell: the days of slaying the charts are numbered unless ypu can pull a 1989. ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmex 964 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 That kind of goes without say. I don't see the general public or anyone outside of the Gaga fan base caring about new music from her.Obviously Pop music fans will check it out even if they dislike Gaga but lbr even if it's good it still probably isn't going to be purchased as much as it will be downloaded illegally.

manicholic 3,694 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 With the market now shifting entirely to streaming and away from downloads OP is totally right onThat being said I'd be SHOCKED if LG & her team do not squeeze out AHS Hotel for all its worth during her season this fall, i.e. single previews / music video premiere during commercialsWithout that kind of TV promo it'd be hard for any artist these days to have a big album again especially her There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

mariomania1234 11,368 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think if managed properly we can expect great things. Every artist has their peaks and valleys.I don't think we should be having these conversations until we see how things unfold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
