4. NICKI MINAJ - Starships: 129.710 (+ 0.133)

I guess Starships really are meant to fly.

i give up, lol. this is her 8th hit from an album. i think she's really the top pop b---h right now, after adele.

No, she decided that since more people wouldn't buy her album, she'd just sell them each track individually. :cool:

HOW HOW HOW ON EAAARTHHHH

but it's a cute song :fat:

In the US, KP is arguably bigger than LG.

Album sales aren't far off, more radio play, more single sales, and bigger videos as of late. She also doesn't do bad with awards here.

[Klou 2,414]

wtf Justin. His voice. It's back

That's what I was thinking! He sounds like 16 year old Justin again :toofloppy:

We'll see how they compare when it comes to touring ;)

[Americano 31,061]

Worldwide Gaga is much much bigger than Katy, but locally not so much was my point.

Btw, I loved Boyfriend but that new Bieber song is terrible. So whiny and annoying.

Now I make a joke at Katy's expense and you stand up for her, LOL.

I agree that she's the queen of US radio ... but I don;t think she can rely on that forever, every sound gets tired. Lots of acts would have had 2 or 3 solid albums on the backs of that many singles..

[Arturo 40,746]

Jb coming for that #1 iTunes spot. :hor:

Katy is a joke talent wise and she has no cultural impact, but looking at numbers strictly in the US, Gaga fans can't try to minimize her success.

[heavymlover 340]

Y U don't get tired of Katy, US?

Anyway, I wonder how well will her next album do. It looks like she's inspired rn by her divorce, so probably she's going for the Adele tactic.

[craig 680]

Combine Katy's US success + Rihanna's international success + Beyonce's singing & dancing talent + Bieber's fanbase + Madonna's touring & cultural impact ... only then would Gaga have met her match.

[boysboysboys 278]

OK, I'm back. :P

We'll see about Katy's sales. Remember that she didn't suffer through the kind of negative press and mismanagement that Gaga went through.

:clap:

this one is a bit questionable though. Gaga has to work on her dancing skills. but she is doing very well recently.

Yeah. Every strong point these artists have, Gaga has a bit of all of it.
