LG5 vs KP4

[Spanish Eyes 2,279]

It's interesting to think about. Here's my prediction:

KP4 will smash. Katy is coming off of the Superbowl, a hit album, 2 monster singles and videos, and a world tour that's selling like wildfire. She's got too much momentum. BUT, I do think she will not see the same level of success that she has seen with Prism. It's highly unlikely that Katy is going to flop knowing who she works with and how well she's been doing, so she has no reason to truly worry.

LG5 will do fine on its own. I think, with enough promotion and solid set of singles, it can sustain itself long enough to break platinum which is great in this day and age. Lady Gaga has had an uphill battle for the past 2 years, but she's made perfect career moves lately. For Gaga, it all depends on her lead single. The song she chooses as her comeback song (yes, it's a comeback. She hasn't had a top ten hit since 2013) will make or break LG5. As long as she isn't pitted against a pop girl again, then scoring top 3 with the lead single will be perfect in my eyes. A number one would be amazing, though. Regardless, the expectation is on her to hit number one with LG5, and I think, as long as her competition isn't too rough, she'll do it. Basically, Gaga is going to have her "rebuilding" album era.

yeah and she had great and successful eras even with those comments...

Gaga will sell very good with a great promo schedule. She had sold 2.5 million copies of ARTPOP with the worst promo spot she could have in her whole career. She has sold +1 million copies of a Jazz album. She's still a big seller... Let's not pretend she's not achieving to hit good sales anymore...

Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Britney failed a lot more with there last albums... 

Exactly this is what I believe..Gaga still has great selling power...If the lead single of LG5 is a hit (not necessarily a #1,even a top 5 like Applause),the promo is as good as in the BTW era,the album is good and the media are as positive about her as they are now ..The album can easily sell 3,5-4m

Jeez just because of one album? Who puts Katy on gagas level btw? Pls let the albums drop first and stop the negative energy before the music!

Who will have a more successful era in 2016?

Gaga is expected to release in Q1 while Katy in Q4, but anything could happen, if you know what I mean

Who do you think will find more success with her next album, Gaga or Katy? And why.

 

Can I please have the receipts that Gaga's planning to release Q1? 

[monketsharona 80,750]

Can I please have the receipts that Gaga's planning to release Q1? 

she probably won't, Q1 is in only less than four months... With what she said in her last interview it's not finished and she's still working on AHS right now...

I hope we'll get the album in Spring / Summer, the sooner... But the later it's probably going to be released in winter...

Nobody knows until they drop their lead singles.

TF and TFM are still the biggest thing that happened in POP (Adele is not pop to me)

since 2008 till today 

so when Katy gets her TF/TFM Era call me

LG5 could be big if Gaga wants , all she has to do is super basic music, look like a barbie , DONE

but LG5 could be HUGE like TF/TFM if she takes a RISK something Katy has never done i love Katy but she's always in a comfort zone following a formula 

but KP4 won't be bigger than TD and PRISM , so LG5 realistically has a greater chance to shine since ARTPOP was overshadowed. Where as the public is expecting Dark Horse 2.0 and TD 2.0 from Katy and that's not happening. She'll get one or two at most number one singles on the charts her other singles will be Top 20, Opening week sales will be 250-300K , Album will sell 4M WW when the era is over no grammy for it. Her videos will obviously be over watched. 

Where as i predict LG5 might not get any number one singles first two singles top 10, other singles will be Top 30 but the album will open with 400-500 K , Album will sell 6M WW when the era is over and she will get a grammy for it. LG5 won't give Gaga a video with a billion views , 500M at best if it's a BR or DWUW. 

My predictions are quite realistic

Born This Way has sold like 2 million more copies than PRISM, and it's because it came out two years before. PRISM only had 2 #1 hits, but those two were more successful and impactful than Born This Way's singles, except maybe for Born This Way the song. 

I would say that the year when Gaga was bigger than Katy was 2009. In 2010 and 2011 they were equal. And in 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2014, Katy was bigger than Gaga.

Equal in 2010?  

Okay boo.

 

 

[SlaeUrAnus 15,958]

It's absolutely DISGUSTING to see so Many people saying Katy Perry/KP4 

I feel like i'm the only one who actually still has faith in the queen of music. Anyways, Gaga is coming to take over the world again with LG5. Just wait and see

Exactly.

People are underestimating Gaga. If she wants to be enormous again, she be it again.

I would be more than happy with these numbers for LG5. Ahh everything you said was perfect

Gaga was way way bigger in 2008 (mainly Europe), 2009, 2010 (she was literally bigger than LIFE) 

2011 they seemed equal 

2012 Gaga was not active musically so Katy can't be bigger 

Thus Katy was bigger in 2013 and 2014 only and for a fact Gaga was bigger world wide in 2009 and 2010

 

and honestly none of my friends knew who Katy Perry was till Firework came out all they knew was oh you mean the lesbian singer who kisses girls , i think after Firework that's when she got the MAJOR highlight and has been riding on that wave of success. I guess you can say I Kissed A Girl was her Just Dance but it was not till Firework that she got her Bad Romance.

Assume you are right that in 2008 Katy was bigger due to I Kissed A Girl her debut single (even though this was not the case in Europe) , Gaga's debut single Just Dance sold more than I Kissed A Girl and Poker Face shatters Hot N Cold and I Kissed A Girl in everything.

So If we are comparing the eras/albums

TF/TFM > One Of The Boys

BTW=Teenage Dream  (BTW did Great as an album, TD did Great with it's singles)

ARTPOP < PRISM 

So i guess they are tied , one use to be big and the other got big later , so i guess you never know the outcome of popularity with LG5 and KP4 anything is possible

At least everyone saying KP won't be disappointed unlike people like you who still have faith. If Gaga does "better" than we will be even more happy.

If Taylor never had a failing era I don't see why Katy would have to have one....

Prism has sold much less what TD sold in the UK it went from 1.7M for TD to 300,000+ Prism. In the US it went from 3M for TD to 1.65 for Prism. Everywhere else it did half. Her sales are already in decline.  US sales was Prism's saving grace. People in the US tend to turn quickly on a pop artist after the 3rd or 4th album. Taylor is different because country music functions differently than pop. Lets see what happens after Taylor's 3rd or 4th pop album. I am going to say KP4 will do exactly 1/2 of Prism, 2M WW. LG5 is more difficult to predict, because she is going in a different direction. It could be a hit or miss. I honestly don't think that Katy has the pull to tell her record company, "I want to go in a different direction." I think it will be another standard pop album. I'm still not sure why people think 1.65M is a huge success. It's a nice hit, but not a huge success. I mean didn't Taylor do that much in two weeks with 1989? Didn't Beyonce do that within the month with her 2013 release?
