bornthisway51 16 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I really want Born This Way to surpass Telephone's sales and TEOG's to surpass Paparazzi. It would make the BTW era look much better in comparison to the eras before. I am a little disappointed in a 38K first day... It seems way more clear that she's lost fans now. I'd project ARTPOP to make total sales of more like 600,000 (if that) which would put Gaga on a downward trend :/ I'm gonna remain optimistic though and pray that things like the DWUW video, choice of next two singles and promotion will all help :) These all offer potential game changers, that's for sure!

craig 680 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 DWUW appears headed for #8 Tough week when the last three #1s are 7, 3, and 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy 4,421 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I expected DWUW to be between #6 and #10. As long as it goes top 10 it's fine, whatever peak will do it for me. ***and wow at those Telephone sales, cant beleive it's her fourth best seller D: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, even if Gaga's sales are on a downward spiral, it'll still put her in the same league as say, Rihanna's sales. Out of 7 albums, Rihanna's only had 2 that have sold 1 million or more in the UK. Her first two albums flopped hard and Rated R barely scraped top ten. Despite that, she has had 2 massive hit albums (Good Girl Gone Bad, Loud) and 2 decent hit albums (Talk That Talk, Unapologetic) in the UK and her singles and tours do very well here. She has repeatedly come back from her flops and tends to follow a "flop, hit, flop, hit" trend with her albums. Maybe Gaga will do something the same? Sometime next year, BTW will have hit 1 million, meaning Gaga's first two albums (TFM's sales are counted with TF here) will have sold at least 1 million each in the UK and if ARTPOP does indeed go #1, all 4 of her first 4 albums will have reached the top spot. That is an amazingly huge achievement. Rihanna and Katy never did that. Is Gaga gonna have the biggest female debut in the U.K or? If she debuts at #1, yes. It seemed like a given until Celine shot up to #2, so I'm still not calling it until maybe Friday night. Like I said, the last female that could beat her this year is Britney and her last album sold 31,000 first week (Gaga's beaten that with first day sales alone) and her lead single has dropped like a stone this era. So, it should be safe to say Gaga's got it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 38k for 1 day looks vastly superior to 22k in 2 days/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,253 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Album sales are dire right now, despite Christmas getting closer. Katy must be falling a fair bit. She's currently #10 in her third week because of all these new releases. Added to this week's releases and more in the next two weeks, she might be lucky to still be in the top 40 by the end of the year. And don't get me started on JT's sales. He's at #70 in his 6th week, worse than some non mainstream acts. A crying shame, because part 2 is better than part 1. This is partly why I'm wary of Gaga releasing a second volume. Unless it's much more public friendly and she promotes it far better, we could be looking at the female version of 20/20. Not gonna worry about Celine honestly. Celine had 2 days worth of sales while Gaga has had 1. That 38k for 1 day looks vastly superior to 22k in 2 days/ Celine released on the 11th too. But yeah, considering she's at #2 and ahead of Eminem in his second week, it looks like her sales will be extremely front loaded and she'll drop more and more everyday. I realised, if she's at #2 with 22,0000, Eminem's at #3 with less than that in his second week, what are Little Mix's sales like at #4? By the looks of things, they might struggle to hit 30,000 first week, despite their single debuting at #3 on Sunday. Cowell's going to blow his top. Serves him right for making them release their album a week after their lead single and scheduling them the same week as Gaga. His marketing strategy is clearly faltering.

ManuelColon 702 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I know Gaga isn't in the uk but is there any more promo? Like a pre recorded show or something... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladygagalover 604 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 What are the chances looking like for DWUW being able to go #1? I know it's staying pretty steady in the top 10. With the music video release, hopefully being A listed on radio, and the capital fm jingle bell ball, I'm really hoping it can. She needs another #1 in the UK!

Cersei 56 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 0% chance of #1 now I'm afraid. Lilly is back slaying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
