Americano 31,061 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Wasn't there something going around before the official ARTPOP announcement that the video would be released on September 1 (same day as the preorder)? That would be just a week after the VMAs... I think it was just mis-communication, that fans assumed 9/1 meant video since no one thought she'd do a pre-order. Hopefully she'll release it that following week tho, and if the video is good, garner even a few additional weeks at #1. All of this under the assumption the song connects with the public and isn't only fan-driven.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he looked over that part, but... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have this problem since 2 weeks ago :D Mine is ok now but It doesn't show me when Fizzy quotes me IDK why :D when you or someone else quotes me It's ok :X Fizzy you are a hacker I think it was just mis-communication, that fans assumed 9/1 meant video since no one thought she'd do a pre-order.

All of this under the assumption the song connects with the public and isn't only fan-driven.. I think releasing the video Thursday for example will be a good way to secure 2 more weeks at number 1 right ? Unless there is something threatening Gaga's lead single (like Katy Perry releasing new song after the VMAs) I think Gaga can afford releasing the video on Thurdsay - Friday getting big streaming the first 3-4 days and big streaming the next week ...

Guest Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 This has been discussed to death, but the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that ARTPOP will debut with over 1.000.000 copies. Just look at this: - The supposedly greatest comeback of all time, - The general hype around every step that Gaga takes, - The media blackout, - The lack of pop music in the past two years, - Interscope's + the Haus' promotional plans, - Two months of pre-order, and, - There are ways how the app can be seen as a bought album copy. I have faith in Gaga + Interscope. The Born This Way era made them learn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltface 178 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think that BTW would've remained #1 if Katy didn't release her E.T video that week, because that's when BTW lost its position It wouldn't have because it fell to #4 in week 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry 17 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 ARTPOP is not going to debut with more than a million copies sold and frankly, insisting that it will is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Just because it happened with her last album doesn't mean it will happen again. It's incredibly rare for an album to sell that many copies in one week.Gaga might not have even done it with Born This Way if it weren't for the high-profile Amazon fiasco. Plus, BTW was released at the height of her fame and ARTPOP will be released after maintaining a very low profile for nearly two years.Realistically, she'll sell in the 450-600K range, which is highly impressive by any standard.

wiltedbliss 915 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 ARTPOP can debut with over 1million. But idk if it will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROSEIDON 1,214 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 If the app counts as sales I have no doubt in my mind she can hit 1,000,000 first week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry 17 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) The app is not going to make very much, if any, of a difference. I doubt she'd sell any more than 50,000 apps in the first week. The bulk of her sales will come from CD and download. App is too unfamiliar of a format to sell like hotcakes immediately.

ARTPOP can sell over 1 million on it's first week if the lead single is successful because BTW gave Gaga a wide range of fans of many different music gernes + She will be having 2 months of preorder + The hype is huge + Gaga has a huge selling power the first week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runway 27,876 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Come & get it at #11 If slow down is a promo single now then they should go with Like a Champion or Undercover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo 327 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Can you explain Taylor racking up 1mili in one week? More than once? And quite frankly I think Payola is being used for Love Somebody to be a radio hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
