I'm so nervous for her. I mean they must be careful about performing in stadiums at least... If she keeps her touring power or even increases it, she's set for life and can release any albums or singles she wants just like Madonna.

she is a pop artist. she cant really keep yet her touring power without hits.

Think about this. Katy is coming off the best era of her career with TD. She went into her Prism debut week with a #1 single that had already sold 2x more than Applause has now and with 10 #1 BB top singles. Her last album ended up selling 10x what it started out with on it's debut week, which says she had momentum coming into this era. Katy didn't "disappear" between eras. She was everywhere doing promo and her team made sure that her single and her songs took over radio.

 

^^^ALL THIS and all she could come up with was 10-30K more than Gaga is predicted to sell. (at this point) When Gaga was in this same situation back in 2011, she and her team came up with a million debut week. Other than massive payola for radio play, Katy's team and label isn't looking any smarter than Gaga's at this time, as far as debut weeks go.

 

A very smart post. And very true.

 

If 440K of BTWs sales were the amazon deal, she would have had a huge debut anyway, but no where near that much. 

Even if she debuts at 250K, and has solid sales, it's not bad by Industry standards. She is in and around the exact same as the other pop stars.

:ohno::excited2: at least DWUW is on it's way to become a hit, and gypsy is a smash waiting to happen.

I know, but she never was a Lady Gaga, so it's not a big deal for her, Gaga's team now is in the same level of Rihanna's. Do you think this is acceptable?!

I don't. It's unacceptable. Gaga should've either:

1. Released in 2014 - which would've been hard for her. But she would be able to get much more positive press (no comparisions with other pop stars, much better single sales, no Katy/Miley comparisions), she would've done much better promo for the lead single (fully restored hip), she eould've finished the album much better (well, she already did), she eould've released the app all at once, she would've been much fitter too.

2. Done actual promo for Applause outside of the US :emma:

 

 

Let's just hope she'll take her time and go to all important music markets (for Gaga) over about 3 months early 2014. Just spend a week in each country and do loads of promo:

South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, the US, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, the UK, Ireland, Sweden.

 

 

 

I don't get the GP hate against BTW, it's her best album. But what if it's not the GP she scared away that won't give her

funny how she can sell 30 million perfume bottles, yet not 300k copies of her actual music in US? It seems to me that the problem is not about HER (there is actually no real problem, but... the situation) but is about the music industry changing fast, concerning streaming and piracy etc.

Lets wait until she releases Gypsy, who should have impact worldwide.
