And some of us were hoping for 500-550k debut (including me :emma: )

 

 

Well, this is 10x more than The Fame :emma:

 

 

 

Honestly, Gaga really does have to rebuild her whole image. It's her whole image, it's not the Born This Way era with Judas etc that hurt her the most, but her image. She's the crazy d--g addicted untalented ugly satanic slutty bis-xual freaky unlikeable pretentious hermaphrodite for the General Public. That's not going to help you. It's not abou the music, good music or bad music doesn't matter these days. It's about her whole image. Look at Japan, where her image is probably the best it can be: talented humanitarian that helped them a lot for the earthquake and really loves music, her fans and Japan with a passion. Look at Born This Way, it is nearing Diamond. Look at the US, where her image is probably the worst it can be. Born This Way sold 50% of its sales in its first week and her album, despite being really good, went 2x platinum.

 

 

How will she fix her image with the GP?

 

1. Stop the overly explicit songs. It's a bit too much on ARTPOP when 75% of the songs are about s-x.

2. Stop with the pretentiousness. Gaga, ARTPOP's music isn't 50% ART 50% POP like what you'd expect when you see the title. Don't go "as an artist", "this box that is pop music", "I write all of my music myself", etc. in every single radio interview.

3. Apologize for the things you've done in the past, especially the fur last year, the weed promotion. People simply don't spend their money on people who are going to spend it on things they're against these days when you can just get it for free.

4. Go on talk shows, be funny, don't be pretentious, laugh.

5. Stop with all the sanatic symbolism, it works against you. Even in my country where about 80% of the teenagers don't believe in god, like 50% believes in illuminati and stuff.

I guess Gaga isn't as big as we thought she was.....

 

A few of us (nick4bty included) have been ringing the alarm on her promotion just to get attacked by people on this site, and I have no problem or shame taking credit for that. Absolutely ridiculed for pages for suggesting her team was off target, and look what happened?

Before I was banned, I was told to kill myself by a certain member because I said Gaga was on the verge of being done and wouldn't push as many albums ever again. I'll never forget aZCSQzf.jpg

As much as I hate to admit it, yeah. The lead single's first week performance should have hinted us on what would be the first week performance of the album itself too. But some, including me, convinced ourselves that she's an album artist and she'd do 300K as easy as pie. But then again, I'm still hoping she does. Yes, Gaga. Prove those naysayers wrong.

her own fault for not promoting. she could easily add 25+k to these numbers with a morning show + prime time spot like ive been suggesting since BEFORE the album release

The idea of longevity and the plan to wait until the end of the week to start promoting are good, but only if you really know you got that no 1 and good numbers. At the moment, I dont know if the numbers are even acceptable. And Eminem should be really close also.
