So this has been bothering me for a while now. We all know Gaga's streaming isn't even close to being fixed so what happens to her next era when pure sales will most definitely be lower? 

- All album tracks on YouTube
- One generic throwaway smash
- Tour bundles
- Release at least 4 weeks before Black Friday
- 99cent Black Friday deals that will count on Billboard
 

Spoiler

Unit sales for Albums priced below $3.49 during their first four weeks of release will not be eligible for inclusion on the Billboard album charts and will not count towards sales data presented by Nielsen SoundScan.

That should be the plan.

That bothers me too.

Next lead single needs to be a SMASH, without any "if" nor "but", period.

Partners by Barbra Streisand probably outsold it too. But that's it.

The media is still trying it. 

Why are they so obsessed with Gaga and this narrative? I don't get it.  Like, Witness was worse and it's more recent. The f*ck.

It's horrible that they try to bring people down like this, but comparing the commercial performance of these albums with ARTPOP's...

Exactly. You need better examples, not f*cking ARTPOP. What the f*ck is that? 

Let's drag those bitches.

We're gonna change this sh*t. I'm OVER IT and tired of the media doing the same sh*t after all these years. No, ma'am, stop this disrespect.

The Cure is probably 1/3 Gold. Million Reasons..... let's not talk about it. (*cough* charted for only one week at #85 when it was released as a promo single)
