Cause of ARTPOP "Flop"

[LizaMontero 93]

I became an analytic and cryptic person since ARTPOP, and I thank Gaga for that.

If there is a main cause of her last pop era's "flop" (if compared only to BTW era), what would it be?

I think that the fans ruined it. They did nothing but try to drag ARTPOP. that whole era had so much hope. It got ruined by the fandom basically.

You can't blame the fans for bad management. They didn't make the era flop.

There's so many factors, it's not possible to whittle it down to one problem.

1. Bad single handling. Do What U Want was the best possible single but the controversy with R. Kelly, Terry and the video etc ruined it's momentum. It should have probably been the lead single as a solo version and then tag people on with remixes like Katy Perry does to play dirty

2. Music was kinda dated. Whilst the songs were good, they weren't as revolutionary or forward thinking as her usual standard.

3. Management was all over the place in general.

4. Gaga wasn't in the right frame of mind.

5. Label pulled out on the era after they ruined it.

Bad management.

Bad management + messy breakdowns of Gaga + lack of support from Monsters + overall a bad climate to release with all those above negative stuff

The stars were not aligned to Gaga's favor for 2013.

She didn't release Venus and 2013 was the year for Venus.

I don't think it flop.. It was number 1 album.. I top 10 hit applause ..  The only flop album are the one who don't even make top 10 in 200 album chart ..

Overexposure + strong competitors + lower quality music
