Luke78619 23,244 Posted February 9, 2024 Share Posted February 9, 2024 It’s actually insane, her first album absolutely blowing up like this, such an amazing feat well deserved as well insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMonster 14,667 Posted February 9, 2024 Share Posted February 9, 2024 Love both albums and they're historic in their own right... but these are combined stats, which doesn't seem fair or legitimate. We can't simultaneously refer to Gaga's next album as LG7 and also believe that TF/M is one album. TF is LG1, TFM LG2. Their sales shouldn't be combined tbh. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I wholeheartedly agree, TF+M were (and still is I presume) being sold as a deluxe LP so it's difficult to distinguish their sales, I believe. Born This Way is so close to 15M and ARTPOP is almost at 5M too Great news Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as a fanbase we refer to The Fame Monster as an album in its own entirety BUT technically TFM is an EP and is basically a reissue of The Fame given that they are both sold together. The Fame Monster doesn't exist without The Fame. you can serve it to me ancient city style... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fame Monster doesn't exist without The Fame. I mean it does. Its truly just an EP and part of The Fame for marketing purposes. Length wise it fully falls under the definition of album. But by pairing it they could use each other when it came to charting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand what you mean but what I was referring to is the fact that TFM isn't distributed or formatted by itself. It's literally added on to The Fame if that makes sense? So when you buy/stream TFM you also stream/purchase The Fame. you can serve it to me ancient city style... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilMonst3r 5,400 Posted February 9, 2024 Share Posted February 9, 2024 Like gaga said The Fame is the Ying and the Fame Monster is the Yang. They are simultaneously one with different themes. You get to hear the great things that come with fame but at the other end you hear all the negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
