yeah something is up-Troy Carter gone/her remarks on record labels/lack of promo=underperforming 1st week sales. I just don't know whose fault is it-Interscope's? for not booking enough promo and pushing Gaga to do it or Gaga's? for being too stubborn about art and wanting to do other things...

We didn't overestimate pre-orders. We did interpret the connection between pre-orders and the rest sales incorrectly. Each pre-ordered copy brings in 1,6 extra sales during the week, while we thought she would get over 2 sold copies for every pre-ordered copy easily.

I think Troy just left cuz he knew some mess was brewin. Seemed so odd that I read his article on the whole era and how he envisioned it would go and then just a few days later, they parted...

Maybe she's just refusing to do promo, maybe she got into a huge fight with inter scope about artRave, considering sponsors backed out. Maybe she didn't want "corporate sponsorship" ruining the integrity of the "art", and it led to a big fight with interscope and now she's not cooperating. The Howard interview made me feel she's really mad at her label.

 

But she can't be so ignorant to deny the fact that promotion is the only way to spread the music to the wider audience. And that's what she made this album for, right? For people to listen to the music. And not doing anything to let people know she has a new album out doesn't make much sense.

There're some exceptions, most notably when the music is so good it doesn't need any promo and speaks for itself, but it's not the case of ARTPOP.

After all, the situation doesn't look that scary. She has SNL, AMAs and that Muppet Special. Probably she has something lined up for the UK during her visit for the Jingle Bell Ball, and I have a strong feeling she is gonna be in Japan for Christmas and Australia in February

Yeah I think the main issue is not that people don't want to buy her album, she just needs to get the word out more ( aka more PROMO!!!!)

18. Lady Gaga - Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly) Download (-1)

19. Katy Perry - Unconditionally

meh there's still a gap between them. The AMAs will decide the winner(although I believe Timber is gonna get the biggest boost out of that show). mess @ mtvhits playing Chillin with Wale lol

The fact that the day lacklustre predictions are out she's promoting in a store where sales won't even count to any chart adds ice to insult.
