Exactly. The Fame was very consistent throughout the year with sales and streams. It's been that way ever since the Super Bowl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that time that bloody Mary went number one in Lebanon i think. Cool! but that's not something you can take as a reference. The US can not be taken as a reference for dance music, but that's not new. What's true too is that no big EDM artist released an album this year, besides David Guetta. And it was pretty mediocre.

The Fame has always been a dance/electronic album. It's a dance album. Doesn't have to be electronic too. Madonna's Confessions on a Dance floor is in this genre as well. Robyn's albums too. In fact this genre used to be mostly dance albums until this decade when electronic albums became a thing. So don't think of Gaga being an electronic artist. She's considered dance in this instance. Hope that clears it up for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
