I wanted to see if Gaga's sales/charts were significantly better or worse after she had a controversial moment. I know a lot of these probably aren't related especially if she didn't release a single for months after the controversy

 

June 2009: Disco Stick (:lolga:) Rumors at Glastonbury

Next Single: 3 Months Later

September 2009, Paparazzi: Peak #6

 

September 2009: Bloody VMA Performance

I probably got all the dates wrong, and I doubt any of these are related, but I wanted to make a thread so here :neyde:

Idk tbh

I tried to see that if she had a controversial moment how it would affect how well the next single depending on what she did, but I'm going off like 3 hours of sleep so this whole thread was probably incoherent

Interesting thread! But would def need more research haha

I feel her controversies helped her as an entity (like to become a bigger icon) and not exactly helped ha with individual songs

Ok, so the real question is 1) How did sales of her entire catalogue in the two weeks prior to the scandal compare to sales of her entire catalogue in the two weeks after the scandal? 2) How did sales fare in that time frame of just her most recent album? And 3) Question isn't plural.

The real controversial thing that affected her was Born This Away, she lost half of her fanbase
