altern8version 510 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 this is no shade to the OP, I promise, but my god I’m so sick of the obsession with charting- from everyone: fans, performers, magazines, blogs, etc it’s like people who take it personally when a movie they like didn’t make a certain amount of dollars at the box office- like, THEY aren’t going to see that money! they shouldn’t care think of all the talented artists you love that make QUALITY music, but have never once been number one on the Billboard charts. but they keep going! after all, McDonalds probably sells the most burgers each year- but are they truly the best quality burgers? no 2 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always has been like that and probably will stay like that. Charts are what determine budgets for future releases and the promotion behind it. Sure this is written in an artist's contract, but it can be amended favorably to the artist. We've seen this amended several times in Gaga's career, as I'm pretty sure she was initially given a $6 million advance per album and we saw it balloon to $20 million if I remember correctly. If you love McDonald's and the closest one you have is 20 minutes away, you probably won't get another location closer to you if the initial McDonald's does not sell a lot of burgers. The initial McDonald's probably won't get another franchise agreement if it doesn't sell a minimum amount either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controversiaga 9,242 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Gaga can no way in hell beat Taylor’s record even if Taylor doesn’t release. Gaga does not get those kind of numbers Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpmcmill 1,927 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 People need to chill. This is Taylor’s career and we can only wish our faves were as hungry for it and kept us so constantly fed. Comments about anti-woman this or that, she IS a woman and a powerful one at that. It we are going to live in a society of billionaires (a fact where we like it or not) better there be more woman (Taylor, Rihanna) than not. Charli getting #2 is still great and something to celebrate, sorry Taylor keeps winning and fans keep buying/or keep getting fed if you ask stans. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminem and Gaga are on the same label iirc, so their albums won’t be released at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monketsharona 51,666 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 5 hours ago, jacs vs looser said: Taylor is currently No. 1 with about 120K units, I believe Gaga could pull around 200K first week. I also don't think any new varians Taylor could release over a month from now would double her numbers. So I think Gaga is mostly safe. Until she decides to release Reputation TV #27374748 version 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
