HDD predicts ARTPOP to sell 375k in its first week.

Are we aware of any promotion Gaga is planning to do before the album is released in the USA?

We only know about artRave, but that's just a party in New York which will hardly have any promotion value (I'm looking forward to it and I'm sure it will be great, but let's face it: it's not airing on TV or anywhere, so that's just a sweet present from Gaga to her fans). 

She is also said to appear at SNL, but we don't know when. SNL might help her in a big way if she does it November, 16/November, 23 to sustain the further album sales. If she is able to sell from 375,000 to 400,000 copies with the amount of promo she has done so far, then they better move all the promo events a little further so that the album achieves the longevity in sales.

I don't know but she will probably be on several TV Shows the week of the release and I really hope she'll be on SNL + maybe X Factor America or whatever ...  There will be definitely promotion don't worry !

Let's hope they're wrong :nails:

And I think it's to early to give predictions, I mean, 11 days is a lot...

Yeah on the 11th my friends and I are going to Target. If the foil covered ones are there I'm gonna buy multiple copies and use them as stocking stuffers for my family lol.

Yeah I don't believe this. What were the predictions for Justin Timberlake's 20/20 album? Didn't he debut with 750K or something? Doesn't Gaga have way more fans than him??

he debuted with more then a million :deadbanana:

gaga does have a much bigger fan base but:

but JT hasn't released anything since like 2006 when he released 20/20 and it was really long awaited. He had a good fan base, he had a big movie career and all. He also is probably more appealing then Gaga to the straight guys. Oh and Suit & Tie nd Mirror were hits before the album was released and Mirror was played non-stop on the radio

Realistically if there was no 99 cents deal BTW would have done between 400-500k. I'm thinking she would have done 475 maybe if she was lucky.

 

What?! Gaga's sales were just under 700K at full price and 400K+ from Amazon. This is a decline for sure. Though a 400K opening week would still be really good if she could manage it.

It's hard to know exactly how many who went with the 99c would have paid for the full-price record, but that number would easily push her debut week to over 700K at full price which is huge for an artist like Gaga. I think people who call her a flop forget just how powerful she was in 2011 to move those kinds of numbers.

They predicted Teenage Dream to sale 800K but in reality it didn't even sold 180K. So only thing we will do is wait ..

I just don't get how they make a prediction considering nobody knows what Gaga is gonna do to promote the record.

Oo thanks for replying. I think I got confused with their prediction value. If I remember correctly they predicted a debut week of 750k and he smashed that by moving over a million. Lets hope Gaga follows in that trend. I just feel Born this Way was a lot more about her fans and less about making commercial music, unlike ARTPOP which is made to be foie gras for the masses. People (not only her fans will eat this **** up, right???)
