Mason 209 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I really think that people are misreading her comment on Howard stern about being sick of promo. I think she just meant she is sick of being asked the same questions countless times and giving the same answers, even we were all complaining about it. When she goes on Howards show she knows that he asks good questions and gets real with her and she was happy to be there instead of another boring ass radio interview for the 50th time in the last 3 months that have literally asked her the same 5 questions. Seriously how many times have we heard her explain the meaning of applause? It gets old after a while, and I'm sure she is just as sick of answering as we are of hearing her answer it lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 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. I'm sure this event was planned weeks ago. Why would she cancel this commitment due to released estimates today? That would just make her look ridiculous. Plus, it isn't Gaga's job to keep up with what albums get counted for Soundscan. That's a business issue. Her label could have made sure that those sales from H&M were included in this week's total. Why didn't they do their job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should go back and listen to that part of the interview. Fans are taking one sentence out of a two hour interview, completely out of context, and applying it to every situation, including Gaga performing her music and TV promo.

Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Unorthodox Jukebox and The Truth About Love give me hope for ARTPOP in what way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence 235 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've calmed down. I don't care that much, I'm just excited cause DWUW looks like it's gonna smash. And if anything, Applause truly is doing well. And any success DWUW has will probably lead to more buzz and longetivity for the album. I'm not too worried anymore. It was just disappointing at first and it's gonna suck to have to wait for a whole week with every fanbase dragging us but like that person said we gotta "just keep swimming."

Ozzy8923 9 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Bruno Mars started with 192K and P!nk started with 280K. Personally speaking, they released When I Was Your Man and Try as second singles, which sound WAY more like album-sellers than DWUW. Just a thought. DWUW sounds like a song that can smash, but doesn't sell the album. It seems the public doesn't feel inclined to buy an album if their perception of the album is distorted because they think it's all about s-x since the single is about s-x [in the case of ARTPOP, that isn't far from the truth, though].
