(Insert Name Here)'s vs. Lady GaGa's Single Sales

[Pop Art 1,773]

Looking through the US Chart Discussions thread, I noticed some people saying that various artists have had more overall chart success than GaGa. It can be debated whether or not this is true, but I thought I would present the hard facts in this thread, and let you decide for yourself. Is GaGa really as unsuccessful as some people try to make her out to be? Or do we give her single success far too much credit? Decide after considering the following chart peaks and sales numbers of the first twelve singles of the below artists. (Some artists have had less than twelve singles though.) * * *Let me remind whomever is reading this that GaGa has only been in the game for four years!* * *

[Ray of Light 8,134]

Adele.

Edit: Never mind :toofloppy:

[Nolan 1]

Where is 'We are Never Ever Getting Back Together' for Taylor Swift?

What a mouthful

Did it not go #1?

Edit: Damn it I forgot it was only the first 12 singles.. My bad.

I only included the first twelve singles of each artist's career, so as to compare to GaGa's twelve singles.

[nick4bty 2,758]

P!nk certainly has come a long way . . .

[crybrowz 3,170]

What about Beyonce?

[Pop Art 1,773]

What about Beyonce?

I knew I was forgetting a big one. I'll add her in just a minute.

[crybrowz 3,170]

Thank you for taking the time to make this :)

[Pop Art 1,773]

Thank you for taking the time to make this :)

You're very welcome. When I have the time, I love doing things like this!

[Runway 27,876]

Gaga is the most impressive imo

10/12 of her singles are all 2x Platinum or higher, and 11/12 are also top 10 hits, she's been very consistent when it comes to her single sales despite her lack of radio support (even in TF and TFM eras).

[saltface 177]

You should try and add airplay peaks :)

Good job though :hug:
