mariomania1234 11,368 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The ARTPOP era also contains some of her most striking and iconic imagery. It'll always be synonymous with the Venus wig, The Gazing ball and Applause makeup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsmusic 180 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The only reason people call it a flop its because it couldn't top kety perr's prims level of success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Phire 98 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 ARTPOP is f**king amazing and I don't care what anyone says. Holds a special place in my heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koreku 2,387 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Gaga's boundaries are set so highly that she could sell 260k units and be dubbed a 'flop'. Meanwhile, other pop stars could sell the same and no one bats an eye. It just shows you how much the GP cares about Gaga. It's actually honoring. You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. People have no idea how much it sold (they don't know about prism's sales either) it was the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio 23,538 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 It "flopped" mostly because of her popularity at the time and not because of the album itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was underwhelming because of the messy era ( Promo , singles ) .. Gaga's popularity has nothing to do with anything related to ARTPOP .. She's an international Icon and people were very much there for her .. It's just the lack of management that made AP look the way it did..
