US Charts Discussion - 'ARTPOP' debuts at #1

I just went to a Walmart specifically to buy a foil ARTPOP CD, and they didn't have any.  In their record aisle they had a large sign advertising ARTPOP, with the album cover on it, and saying it would be available on Nov 11. I followed that sign into the aisle and it led me to....Katy Perry "prism:".  The sign was right in the middle of the walmart chart shelves, of which prism is #1, and on the other side they had stocked tons of larger packaging Prism records, and Eminum.  ZERO ARTPOPs.  I asked the sales lady where they were, and she said none of them came in, and maybe I had to go to a walmart 'superstore'.  She said the smaller stores don't have 'flyer deals'.  I said this wasn't a flyer deal, just a normal product, but she clearly had no idea what was going on so i let it go.  but she was sure that she never saw any 'ARTPOP' CDs come in because I showed her the sign with the album cover. and she said she didnt' recognize it.  She said they get the ads/signs in, but they don't always get the products.  I hope this isn't a weird sign that Walmart is not actually stocking it very much, or with some stores at ALL.  I know hardly anyone buys physical CDs anymore, but for the people who do, isn't Walmart the biggest seller of CDs?  I really hope this store is just a fluke, and there aren't lots of Walmarts out there that are not selling it.

Its not at all H&M locations. Its select only.

 

The posts above would be issues with each retailers specific distribution centers, not Interscope or Universal, so you can't really get angry with her label for that.

I can't believe Unconditionally is about to be Top 10 on Pop and still not Top 20 on iTunes. What kinda Slow Down teas? :lmao:

finally Gaga is closing her gap with Katy in terms of radio support. Gaga used to get support so easily, and thats slowly returning in ARTPOP era.

Sadly not WW just yet, to think Poker Face was the biggest radio hit of the last decade here :emo:
