Kacey Elizabeth 900 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 "Are you talking about WW sales there? Cause if you are, then your deeply mistaking. Except for Born This Way, Katy's first week sales have been higher than Gaga's. Katy's first week sales have been rising with each album, so I'm not what makes you think that what you're saying might be true. Those numbers for Gaga were bad when compared to BTW's first week sales. " I should clarify, Album and single sales world wide for gaga are higher than Katy Perry's not just in 1st week sales. Overall Gaga is much much more successful that Katy Perry. Which is why I am confident LG5 will be more successful that KP4 Lady Gaga = album and single sold is over 27 million and 125 million KP=11 million albums and 81 million singles worldwide Richest female singers as of 2015- Katy Perry @ 25 Lady Gaga @ 13 NOT YOU USING OUTDATED DATAS FOR KATY TO PROVE YOUR POINT! I'M SCREAMING, GURL BYE! And I guess that Richest Female Singers as of 2015 is using their net-worth, but net-worth =/= actual earnings. Stopped reading here Trap music has already been popular. I mean, DH even sounds like *****s in Paris by Kanye and Jay Z . OT: I don't know who will have the more sucsessful era. All I care about is the quality of the music I'll read wherever I want. The only successful, mainstream song that I can think of which was trap which came out before Dark Horse is Harlem Shake. You must learn to respect others opinions beside yours. It's ok if PRISM sounds completely different from TD for you; but it doesn't for me. I found the production really similar in some cases (Birthday, Last Friday Night-By The Grace of God, Not Like The Movies) and the themes and lyrics too (Baby you're a Firework and you're gonna hear me Roar; ET/Spiritual). I feel like if you swapped any song on TD and put it on P., or viceversa, the album would still sound the same. But it's ok if it doesn't for you. I was there for Katy during TD era; after that I expected something different for PRISM, but it wasn't like that. However, I gave her another chance and said "well, next time she'll do something different". But that's not working anymore on me. I'll not be here for the same things. I've been through Friday and Birthday; i'll not be here for New Year. Birthday is a disco track. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) is pop. They're production is indeed different. Just because they're both happy, vibrant, bubblegum and lighthearted songs made for radio doesn't mean that they have a similar production. Same goes out to By the Grace of God and Not Like the Movies. Just because they're both ballads which weren't made for radios doesn't mean that they're production is similar. Roar is about empowering yourself by showing your inner strength after being held down and disappointed. Firework is about showing your true colors to the world (which is pretty much the same thing) and not being afraid to be yourself, and do not hide your true self because naturally, you have incredible potential and beauty within you. Regardless, they're both powerful, empowering anthems. Spiritual and E.T. are a bit similar when it comes to their concept, meanings and theme; about a very different/foreign and unique lover who you're willing to be a slave of, but I feel like E.T. has a darker feel and atmosphere to it. By the terms of lyrics, vocals, musical composition and production, they're completely different. Lol the slayage of TF/TFM cannot be touched by anything on this planet , call me a deluded monster but Gaga was the meaning of World Domination I Kissed A Girl+E.T+Dark Horse combined don't match the slayage of Bad Romance i'm a Katy fan so i won't say anything just to make her look bad, she's literally in my top 5 fav singers of all time but i'm just saying it how it is and if you would be so kind to share the chart data you have from 2008 and as i said assume you are right in 2008 she came out with One Of The Boys , I Kissed A Girl and Later Hot N Cold. You can't say that what Gaga came out with in 2008 (The Fame) did not outshine the whole OFTB Era i mean Poker Face alone sold more than all the singles of OFTB and TF sold more copies than OFTB so it's literally pointless if she was more well know than Gaga in 2008. Also say that no one knew Gaga at brit 2009 , everyone will be like OMG who is she , i wanna know more about her , what's her name. Gaga is a person of interest and no can take that from her where as if no one knew Katy they won't bother to ask about her , she looks normal and there's nothing wrong with that. That wasn't my point. My point was that Katy has taken risks with her work and hasn't gone with a formula. Even when Teenage Dream came out, mainstream music and culture wasn't dominated with with bubblegum, fun and vibrant pop music. The Fame and it's first two singles weren't so successful or well-known in 2008. They didn't even charted in top 10 of US or most other major markets. Just Dance even holds one of Billboard's records for the longest climb to the #1 position on BBH100 for 22 weeks. Of course, in 2009, The Fame era picked up and Gaga passed Katy in everything in that time. Katy was everywhere in 2008, Gaga wasn't. It was a different case in 2009, though. Yes, Gaga is a very different, eccentric, unique and interesting artist and people always are wowed and shocked by her, even at the 2009 BRITs but it still doesn't change the fact about what I said.

Kacey Elizabeth 900 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I got my numbers from http://www.richestlifestyle.com/richest-female-singersBut I do remember the Forbes list.

Versace 7,972 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Forbes > your source, tbh. KatyCat1013 you're actually one of the members i get quite the likes from and we almost like the same threads/comments so i respect you cause i feel we think alike from what i can seeand i too am a Katy fan as i said before many times, i would say she's either my 3rd fav singer of all time or 4th can't decide if i like her or XTINA more but i know Gaga is my #1 and Kesha is second to Gaga for me. You should have seen how big i was of a fan during TD, i literally was one of the first people in my region to have bought TD, i woke up at 6AM to get it around 8AM. I also got many copies for my friends TD is my fav album after TF/TFM i like it more than BTW and ARTPOP. TD changed my life it was an iconic album that literally made me happy and i cannot say that about many albums. One Of The Boys had many fillers IMO and PRISM bought nothing new to the table other than these tracks which i admire- Dark Horse, Legendary Lovers, Walking On Air , Unconditionally though it's just a normal power ballad the lyrics were one of her best. I was shocked as to why LL and WOA did not get the single treatment , it's a crime tbh that BD and TIHWD got the single treatment instead. So all in all me loving 4 songs from Prism and 3 songs from OFTB i can't say that Katy is a ground breaking albums artist and thus why i like Gaga more than her cause she gives more , i only like Kesha more cause i ADORE her as a person. So my question to you with all honesty who do you like more/enjoy their efforts more Gaga or Katy ? please don't say both deep down i'm sure you click with one more than the other i'd like to know but if you mind answering that question i respect your decision.

ShockPop 7,747 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Unfortunately there is a rather predictable trend going on with marketing teams.Gaga will be Beyonce with her next album,... but with a clearer singles strategy.Katy, unfortunately, had quite a huge peak during prism... with some pretty bad press regarding her flaws if you remember her atrocious x factor uk debacle with a bird cage...Gaga is on the up and with Taylor Swift having a lot of industry influence, Katy is unlikely to be receiving the level of support she has so far.Factor in that kp has released the same album 3 times now and the gp were NOT here for her recent singles (bar 2 huge hits)... she will likely try something new and when that happens, you get Bionic, ARTPOP, 4, etc. She's going to need to pull out something amazing to drive it forward, because people tired of the music pretty fast with prism singles.

LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If success is determined by album sales than both will do well (my prediction). However, I think it's so silly to put both Gaga and Katy on the same level. Even if they are in the pop genre and make mostly dance pop, they are such different artists in just about every way, it just seems kind of silly to compare them (to me). In terms of charting (which means nothing to me and doesn't really have a lasting effect), I predict both will have several Top 10's. They are both very successful artists with solid bases and highly anticipated follow up albums. And as far as LG5 is concerned, I think the music will be good, really good (and that's honestly the most important thing). I almost feel that it will be one of her best albums in her career (but it's just a feeling, there isn't any music....yet). And as much as I adore BTW/TFM, I don't think they are the very BEST she has to offer, I think the best is yet to come!! I also think that the promo will be on point, and I'm hoping we get some really amazing fashions, videos, and performances. She's in such a great place right now, coming off another Grammy winning album, a hit tv show, an iconic Oscar moment, engagement, etc, it all just really gives me such a fantastic warm feeling! I can not wait! Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Sky 10,913 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It really depends on what they put out,With Katy, the lead single is a destined smash. She's coming off of the super bowl & a successful world tour. As for the rest of the era, it really depends on what type of music she puts out. If it's bubblegum pop music, she'll underperform, she'll be 31/32 during the era and the GP is tired of that sound (as we saw with Birthday). However, if she puts out dark/mature music (E.T. & Dark Horse) she'll be just fine. The GP likes that side of her.With Gaga, I'm sure the lead single will do fine. She has a big enough fan base + she'll have more GP attention this time around (Oscars, C2C, AHS, etc). After that it once again depends on what content she puts out. If she puts out good pop music (TFM/BTW) she'll succeed. Anything else will flop. However, I am 90% sore this album will be somewhat of an improvement from ARTPOP both critically and commercially. She is in a MUCH better place now than she was during the AP era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
