Digital song sales:
Katy Perry: 49,897,000
Lady Gaga: 46,322,000

 

And, album sales:
Lady Gaga: 8,817,000
Katy Perry: 4,333,000

 

So … Perry narrowly leads in digital song sales, while Gaga boasts a more than two-to-one lead in album sales, reflecting the latter's clearer status as an album act.

 

In all, victories for both Little Monsters and Katycats! ... Plenty more discussion is a lock as "Roar" and "Applause" grow, leading up to the releases of Perry's album "Prism" (Oct. 22) and Gaga's "ARTPOP" (Nov. 11).

Gaga has a better chance of catching up to Katy in singles than Katy does catching up to Gaga in album sales

We knew this tho, Katy is a single artist, Gaga sells albums. I think album sales tell you a lot more about dedication of fans, not trying to shade Katy or something.

if Gaga doesn't lessen down on her provocative  and artsy exp pop sound, then sadly Katy is going to surpass Gaga real soon

I felt it was appropriate to make a thread now that we have a clear confirmation on Gaga sales :yes: (the receipts!)

Even if it's not as good selling as the stuff Katy Perry throws out, it's what makes her unique and what makes her more inclined to be added to legend status in the future years.

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

how can they call her an 'albums act' when it's not like she's sold that many less singles than katy has... doesn't 'albums act' mean successful album but non-successful singles?

Impressive. No matter what you think, these two women are at the forefront of pop music.

while what you said is 100% true in the long run, Gaga is still a relevant Pop star and in today's media centralized society, Pop stars are sadly concentrated more on sale statistics and who's in the lead
