ARTPOP and KP4: similarities

[Gov Hooka 8,008]

I would say CTTR flopped a little harder than Applause (it did somewhat better worldwide but way worse in the US) and Bon Appetit flopped way harder than DWUW. I do think that she'll be able to pick herself up though because she isn't going through the same management crisis as Gaga. Her record label has her back better than any artist in terms of promo

who came for DWUW success?

In the United States, "Do What U Want" was predicted by industry prognosticators to sell between 150,000 and 160,000 digital downloads in the week ending November 11, 2013.[10] Nielsen SoundScan reported that the song had sold 156,000 digital downloads, entering the Hot Digital Songs chart at number three and becoming Gaga's 14th top ten on that chart.[41] Consequently, it debuted at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is Kelly's 52nd Hot 100 entry and highest rank since "I'm a Flirt" peaked at number 12 in 2007.[42] The song plummeted down to number 58 the following week.[43] In its third week, "Do What U Want" climbed to number 48 on the chart, aided by its move upwards on the Radio Songs chart, from number 64 to 51, with an audience impression of 23 million, up by about 22% from the second week.[44] Following the release of ARTPOP, the song returned to the top twenty of Hot 100, moving into number 18.[45] The song has sold 1,220,000 copies in the US as of April 2015,[46] and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). On the Pop Songs chart, "Do What U Want" debuted at number 39 for the issue of November 11, 2013, and moved up to number 29 the next week with a spin increase of 991 on the US radio stations.[47][48] Next week, the song acquired a further 1,096 spins and moved to number 23 on the chart.[49] It has reached a peak of number seven on Pop Songs, with 9,237 spins.[50][51] The song also peaked at number eight on the Rhythmic chart with 2,662 spins.[52] "Do What U Want" became the second single by Gaga—the first being her debut single "Just Dance"—not to reach the top of the Hot Dance Club Songs chart, where it stalled inside the top-ten at number seven.[53]

In Australia, "Do What U Want" entered the Australian Singles Chart at number 21; also debuting on the New Zealand Singles Chart at number twelve.[54][55] The song entered the Irish Singles Chart at number nine[56] and in The Netherlands' Mega Single Top 100 at number 27.[57] It also entered the Finnish Download Chart at number two.[58] In South Korea, the song sold 10,576 digital downloads, reaching number eight in the Gaon Digital Chart.[59] It fell to number 13 the next week, selling a further 7,184 copies.[60] Following the album release, the song sold 20,309 copies and reached a new peak of number two.[61] "Do What U Want" reached the top of the charts in Greece, and also reached the top-ten in Finland, France, Italy, and Spain.[62][63][64] The song had debuted at number 50 on the Japan Hot 100, but rose to position 26, after two weeks.[65] "Do What U Want" also debuted at number seven on the Canadian Hot 100 and in its eleventh week on the chart, the song reached a new peak of number three. It was certified gold by Music Canada, for selling over 40,000 digital downloads.[66][67]

In the United Kingdom "Do What U Want" was deemed ineligible to enter the UK Singles Chart. The Official Charts Company released a statement explaining that the song would be allowed to chart only after the associated album's pre-order offer ended. The rules of the Official Chart Company "allow one 'instant grat' promotion per album, i.e a single track download given away as an album pre-order incentive. 'Do What U Want' is the second track [following 'Applause'] to be delivered to fans who pre-order ARTPOP".[68] Thus the song was not eligible to enter the chart until the promotion finished and the album was released.[68] According to Alan Jones from Music Week, in the week following its release the single sold 22,915 copies in the UK; had it been eligible to chart, Jones predicted it would have entered at number ten.[69][70] After the release of ARTPOP, "Do What U Want" debuted at number nine on the UK charts with sales of 29,657 copies becoming her 11th top-ten single there.[71][72] It also entered the Scottish Singles Chart at the same position.[73] "Do What U Want" became Gaga's 11th best selling single in the United Kingdom with sales of 248,000 copies by January 2017, and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for 400,000 copies of streaming equivalent units. It has been streamed 8.5 million times, becoming Gaga's highest streamed song in the country.[74][75]

except Applause and DWUW are musical masterpieces. Same can't be said about Katy...

[Anderson123 38,282]

As far as I remember, everyone here loved ARTPOP. I was a little confused about it and felt like it was missing something but not a lot of us felt like that. All of Gaga's albums have been praised by the fans when they come out. It's the little charters the ones who bash it when the singles don't stay at #1 for a decade or the album doesn't sell 3 million copies every week.

[Bio 23,538]

DWUW is not about sex tho

[Whispering 18,865]

Applause was a bigger hit than CTTR, want it? And DWUW had instant interest. 

Katy's first two singles haven't had near the interest that the first two singles of ARTPOP had.

It is made in a way to be completely about sex if you listen to the song without knowing Gaga's mental view on the song.

[LadyLuca 2,550]

I just hope that Katy drops the album in may or june....Want to hear the new songs! If its similar to ARTPOP it has GREAT non single songs, right?

 

TBH I still hope for Gaga and Katy to collaborate- Our fan bases would rock together...I see so much hate between the fans...I dont really like Katy myself but I love her songs!

[Illuminati 15,921]

Except Gaga didn't have it so bad when it came to racism accusations and homophobia
