Was BTW the reason ARTPOP flopped?

Her singles choices were messy from Judas to MR.. I think it is one of the reasons why she can't get a smash hit song anymore.

this is one of the biggest reasons for that, with the exception of TEOG (and the video being the exception to TEOG :awkney: )

I swear in the U.K it wasn't, I remember everyone falling in love with Judas when it was first released and everyone playing it nonstop. When You and I was released I remember no one caring about it apart from die hard Gaga fans

In the us it was big it stayed in top ten for a month and it auctualy had chart longevity and is 2x platinum compared to Judas which no one knows except gaga fans and  debuted at #10 then just continued to drop basically like PI

Woah, no way. It's weird how the US and UK react so differently to different singles

Because the GP is not here for the ARTPOP concept, they don't care about art in pop.. they just want easy life.. to listen to a song and that's it, next one on the list.. Gaga made it complicated for their stupid mind so they rejected her..

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

It is to me ofc. I live for Judas :firega: 

But it definitely marked the decline of Gaga like other users have pointed out. Born This Way did okay I guess, but unfortunately the second single failed to make a lasting impact, and everything went downhill from there :cryga:.

(Idk if you were here during the era but TEOG/Judas and onwards was a MESS for us)

Let's be real not even the fans enjoyed ARTPOP as much. Besides, her attitude was so off-putting and pretentious. And all the constant mess that happened like switching the 2nd single to a song that featured an alleged rapist, filming a video that never saw the light of the day with one alleged of sexual assault and rape (when you're stating you're against it and that you've been raped), disappearing in the middle of the era, the pretentious ARTPOP APP, etc. It's not about the concept, the album had some amazing songs (AURA, Venus, ARTPOP, Gypsy), but they went with the wrong single choices + her persona was too much.

Because the kind of music she made was already dated in 2013 plus she took a break and new artists arrived in that year that took her spotlight also troy left her and her team of yes sayers was just trash

And still is trash :awkney:

She had the inflated Amazon sales of BTW which makes the drop seem more significant. 

Otherwise the album wasn't handled half as well as BTW with only 1 properly promoted single. Also the music of AP could be seen as sub-par. 

The hardest thing in this world is to live in it

If DWUW got a video it would smash 100% -> more singles->more success->nobody would say ARTPOP's a flop. Even tho ARTPOP shouldn't be considered as a flop. It did ok. The universe just didn't want Gaga to have another smash era. I don't think we can blame anyone for it, Gaga tried her best.

People just got sick of her after Born This Way.  She tried too hard at times (now I miss those times).

How was Judas ever a decline though? It was a huge hit and the MV was truly epic. Everyone knows this song. 

Maybe in a parallel universe on a galaxy a million light years away from us. 1473252180-not-a-read.gif

I still cringe when people make this argument all of these years later.

DWUW got a video tho, it wasn't released and that's another story. If she would've had another attitude while promoting the album and not overhype it we'd probably have another story
