Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 *Beyonce is questionable. I understand that the Super Bowl is the best promotional spot one could possibly find and a commercial (Apparently Beyonce's new song will be included in her commercial with Pepsi) will do wonders but, if the song is not commercial enough, no amount of promotion could possibly save it. If the song is good and commercial, she'll slay. I expect at least Triple Platinum from her lead single if this is the case. *cough*GMAYF *cough* It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltface 178 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I hope she goes full experimental with the lead single, but I want it to be fresh. I would've backed Heavy Metal Lover as the lead single from BTW. Heavy Metal Lover or Scheisse would have been better lead singles than BTW imo.

Americano 31,061 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Looking at album sales right now, it's going to be difficult for Gaga to outsell Born This Way with ARTPOP. BTW will probably be one of the last actual pop albums to top 7M copies sold. (Not jazz or country mixed or whatever, pop records themselves sell less) Album sales worldwide are really beginning to drop off sharply with continued growth in piracy. In the US, she can push for double platinum again but she'll need to settle for less in other countries with the spread of stealing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy8923 9 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 *The Telephone continuation should be for single #3 or #4. Because the first two usually are the ones that do the best and after that it's harder to do well. So if she really wants to keep the era going strong I would do that. *- *I'd be happy with a solid 5 million for ARTPOP. Great sales for a pop record now. Unfortunately, Britney will probably see sales similar to those of Femme Fatale or possibly a bit better and at best sales close to those of Circus. Rihanna will sell 3 million WW at most with Unapologetic. And the same goes for her next November release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Asia could really help ARTPOP. She played all her cards right in that market. I still think she could outdo Born This Way, but the music would have to marketable while being legitimately good. That pefect mix is pretty hard to hit.

Americano 31,061 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think she'll be around the 5M ballpark, she won't near BTW's 7M though. It's getting really hard for pop records to even NEAR Gaga's BTW sales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'd be happy if ARTPOP's total record sales are around 20 million. That would be a strong, not unrealistic era for her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy8923 9 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Gaga won't ever go Diamond. The only way that could happen is if she released a Double Disc CD and it sold 5 million copies in the US (When you release a Double Disc CD they certify it double, since it's 2 CD's. Like Madonna's Immaculate Collection sold around 5 million in the US but, when released, was 2 CD's so it's certified Diamond). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltface 178 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If she does the Vol1/2 thing and released Vol2 as a rerelease of the original album she could easily beat BTW's numbers imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 It wouldnt be fair to compare BTW with ARTPOP if you're essentially doing two eras shoved under one title.. Even with a smash era, 7M copies is not 'easy' to top. Even for Gaga. Each year only has like 3 records that top 3M sold worldwide now, which is horrible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
