Andrew2512 321 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Well selling albums is better than selling singles , but here is the reason , the general public might not like Gaga's singles but they know that she's a versatile artist with amazing vocals so they buy the album to listen to different genres on it and enjoy her strong vocals , plus singles are not successful by sales nowadays you can listen to the song on multiple apps like Spotify ..etc.. and Gaga is not so powerful when it comes to streaming for example after nearly a year for Rihanna's Anti it didn't sell 1 million copies and Joanne outsold her in 2 months even tho Rihanna got 2 hits but how did Needed Me reached no.7 when it hadn't surpasse 1 million copies of sales , STREAMING.

JustAnotherDay 8,402 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Most of Joanne isn't the type of music that is usually played on radio but it is still very good and many people like it so they buy the whole album was NickARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpookyKid 15,083 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Well, speaking for myself, when I discover an artist I pay more attention to the albums as a whole instead of picking up songs Life has a hopeful undertone |-/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJaneHolland 77,348 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 She's still a single artist tho It's just that Joanne is not really appealing to the masses. Is she an album artist? No, I'd say. She has sold ~750k so far, but, hey Beyonce opened with that much. That's what I call 'album artist' Also Drake and The Weeknd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipthistea 21,099 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 'Cause at this point, she has a dedicated fanbase. Yet many fans didn't like ARTPOP and Joanne, both of them had solid sales (not as masive, but pretty solid) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because she is not selling as much as the top selling artists it doesn't meant that she is not among the top selling album artists. She is in fact very successful with her albums for the time that they are released. And clearly she is not selling singles very well latetly so she is not a singles artists. At least not right now.

prince 4,688 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I think there are people that stan songs and people that stan artists. Gaga doesn't always create or release conventional pop music so people don't look at her for good singles but she's an artist that has a lot of stans and they'd rather buy her body of work (album). I wouldn't buy a Calvin Harris album but I know his singles are a bop and i'll look out for them. Someone like Katy Perry can produce both, she has fans that stan her so hard and thus buy into her albums but also the GP knows she creates conventional pop music that they can bop to so they look out for her singles. This isn't even bad for Gaga, people know she's around and they know she's talented and releases good music they just don't want to play her single on repeat.

When people buy your full album it means that they really have confidence in the artist and the music. That is why it takes so many streams to count as one album sale.
