Peace 1,588 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Cuz at that time Dance/Electronic/POP music was considered as Gay music in US and USians like always were 2 steps behind in terms of current world music taste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not make any sense. Adam Lambert embraced his homosexuality since the beginning of his career and made similar music to Gaga yet his album peaked higher than The Fame Monster.

Andrew Warhola 12,992 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Because she wasn't a household name when she debuted and it's common for an artist's success to become a lot more frontloaded as their career progresses, so it's only natural for their sales to develop according to a Gaussian distribution curve at first. Especially back then, when streaming wasn't taken into account. (The Fame Monster is an EP, anyway, so that shouldn't come as a surprise, either) she's a party girl with a bad habit for drugs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirius094 2,248 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Because she didn't have a fanbase. The fans push an album to #1 in the first week. The Fame has sold a lot but in a long period of time, with steady but not impressive sales per week. Pem Pem Perempem Pem Pem Pem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Slay 10,996 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 TFM didn't because the first week sales were divided between the stand alone version and the version that included The Fame, which counted toward the latter. That's why The Fame skyrocketed to number six the week TFM debuted at #5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuri 21,636 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I think The Fame was blocked by The Blackeye Peas, and TFM's sales went to The Fame's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
