Pretty sure BTW outsold Teenage Dream but I'm not a full time chartster, so I woon't argue. 

Joanne outsold Witness and that's a fact. 

BTW did not outsell teenage dream

Of course it did 🙃

PRISM is the only Katy album that managed to outsell a Gaga album and not for a long time... ARTPOP is catching up

They’re not even in the same league tho. 

Post-2015, Gaga is making reservations for herself at the LEGENDS ONLY table, while Katy is still having fun with teenagers at the kid’s table. 

:air:

Worldwide it did.

Anyways I think they're really even right now after the Witness era, which was less objectively less successful than Joanne. Both of them are not in their best moment right now, but I'll hope their next albums will perform well and save pop music once again (and hopefully they collab at some point :pray:)

At the moment, Gaga is definitely bigger. Her SB performance had just under the same amount of views as Katy's, was widely acclaimed and was, along with Beyonce's were what everyone's compared JT's to this year. Joanne has sold more than Witness. Joanne had one big US hit and actually had a top 20 in addition, Witness could only manage a top 10 hit in the US (incidentally, the same position as Joanne's hit). Joanne had better critical reception than Witness. Joanne got nominated for Grammys and Witness did not. The tour could totally have done more dates and has made as much as the Witness tour with half the amount. Gaga's Carpool Karaoke did better in Katy's in views, likes and like/dislike ratio. The only area where Katy truly excelled (as she always does) is Vevo views and likes. But even then, she got some of the worst dislikes of her career (Bon Appetit is her 4th most disliked video and Swish Swish is her #1 most disliked), with Swish Swish in particular taking a really bad like/dislike ratio. And it's well-established at this point that her team are buying her views and subscribers, so it's all pointless anyway. There is no way she's gaining 200k+ subscribers a week despite stopping promotion on her biggest flop months ago.

Thing is, Gaga's actually gained new fans as time has gone on, as she's explored other music avenues, made her voice better and now she's even getting into acting. Katy's done none of these things and that's why she can't be bigger later in her career. She's just got the same fans and they'll drop her when she's too old to represent them or they've outgrown her. I don't know if she's capable of reinventing her music for an older crowd to give her chance.

Gaga of course. Just think about it... Gaga did not need to have a bunch of number one songs on the BB HOT 100 to become the superstar that she is.
