Billboard Hot 100: #6 I Cry | #7 Home | #8 Some Nights | #9 Beauty And A Beat | #10 Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself).

:clap:

I love how smooth the Believe era has gone.

Once she's back in the states, the appearances will begin. There will be a rise in 2013 in her single sales once she's in the GP's face again. There's no question about it.

You know, come to think of it, I haven't even heard two of the songs in the BB HOT100 (Ho Hey / I Cry).

Am I missing anything? ( I would listen if I wasn't in my university's library on my laptop doing 'school work". :omfgaga: )

Those long breaks can screw an artist over for good, like Nelly Furtado and Christina Aguilera.

People say Taylor Swift took two years off and Gaga should use that model.. but Taylor swift released Eyes Open and BTD etc. during her break and got decent airplay.

Gaga has no airplay, no songs in the iTunes Top 1000, and hasn't been in the US all year almost

Britney also took too long to launch into In The Zone era (her best one imo), nearly as much as Gaga is taking

again, she just needs the right song

I don't think it's fair to compare pre-mega digitalization of music release dates to now. Things move much faster in pop music culturally now, even compared to 5-7 years ago.

If you are a singles artist and always collabing, you can have something out all the time.

But albums and tours artists work generally with a 2 year cycle. That's average

Taylor does 2 years. Bruno is coming back after 2 years. Eminem about every 2-3 years.

Gaga has been doing stuff to keep her fans engaged (perfume, social media, unofficial song releases). That's just as good as collabing with some rapper or putting out a mediocre movie song.

If you're a Katy fan, you go from mid-2010 to likely mid-2013 with only 3 actual new songs.

Ke$ha still has those single-worthy tracks from her sophomore album. She can pull a Katy Perry approach in terms of single releases.

Late, but none of the songs have the appeal of Katy's Teenage Dream singles. Plus, Ke$ha lacks Katy's appeal to adult audiences.

Taylor does 2 years.

Taylor did not do two years, she had movie tracks and other random songs on the radio at the same time. You keep using that example and it's not even right.

Eminem isn't in the pop scene, the rap scene is completely different with loyalty.

Katy still released music to the public in 2012.

Huge overreaction to Gaga's break. It's not comparable to Christina or Nelly. 2 years is not long enough to forget about somebody, especially someone who was recently named by Guinness as the most famous person in the world.

And people don't turn against musicians just because of long breaks. If anything, it's good for a comeback story. The problem is when pop stars come back with ****ty songs like "Big Hoops" and "Not Myself Tonight".

There are plenty who rappers who put out stuff all the time, but they generally don't sell that many albums.

Nicki for example does quantity over quality.

Eminem (paraphrase): "I don't want people getting sick of Slim Slady, I want them wanting more."
