Americano 31,061 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Not exactly. First week sales are usually driven by fan sales, not radio support. If anything, the whole situation of Gaga being stuck at #2 somehow shows that her core fan base is no longer that formidable in delivering extremely huge opening numbers for her, at least relatively compared before. It seemed everyone thought Gaga will be the one who'd outsell Katy in the opening days, but the exact opposite is happening. And that's something hard to fathom. The amount of fans she lost in 2011 is just.. I don't even know. Judging by this week on iTunes..Almost hard to process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could mean quite the disaster for the opening week of ARTPOP. And she didn't even finish touring North America so many fans didn't get to see her live and that might of made them lose interest in her in the long run.

But there are quite a lot of preorders for ARTPOP already. And that's been proven worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteboi1327 84 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It will be #3 by tomorrow if this keeps up. Just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
isMusic 629 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 If you want to put your computer on mute, you can play this playlist and it will put time in between the plays of the two applause videos. It will also help boost love game and the edge of glory. You can just put it on repeat. Hopefully, this will make the repeat views count for each of the new videos. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4pgp3bh6uAfCoUOzlP9v5w1-Eb7E3jTF I love this.

There were quite a lot of pre-orders for MDNA too. Look how that ended up. pre-orders are hardly an indication of an album's long term performance. Only first week sales. Not to mention, most music is still bought physically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thank You. That's what's worrying me! That could mean quite the disaster for the opening week of ARTPOP. I'm now even further lowering my expectations towards ARTPOP's first-week sales. 500K seems too high at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
isMusic 629 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm done worrying about the charts. If it gets to hit #1, I'll be happy. If not, whatever. I love the song, I bought the song and that's all that matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticHo 706 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I love this. Thanks :Kara: You're welcome. Tried to think of a way to put it on repeat to help views and have all the repeat plays count. I think this gets around the whole "youtube checks to see if it was repeated too many times in the last 5 minutes" rule. Not sure, but it's better than nothing!

Arturo 40,746 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I don't even care about #1's anymore I'd just like the song to be a hit. I don't think that's out of reach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris777 112 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 2x platinum is way too low for a lead single. it should be 3x platinum at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
