Shaney 5,515 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 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? Well i never attacked you all, but.... anyways, maybe this will be a good thing in the long run? no front loaded sales, and more and more people gradually find out she has an album out the more she promotes. I will admit that I was a bit shocked at the prediction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorPrince 1 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 are you serious lol, She did swinefest here/graham norton/x factor. Thats more promo than she did in the US lol as if the UK is all of Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURA 2,890 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Lol. On ATRL, the quote of her saying "Im not a singles artist" is the most recently commented on Celebria. Looks like she's not an album artist either. ops. She never should've said that tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFD 57 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 On the bright side, the over-promotion crap excuse for BTW's backlash can go away now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runway 27,876 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Albums always, I repeat always leak before, it's a staple of the music industry. That doesn't stop huge debuts. The truth is people don't want to buy anything related to Gaga. Promo would help but she won't go back to TFM numbers and that's ok as long as she sells more than this prediction. Oh well, apparently us chart watchers are getting dragged (nothing new) throughout the rest of the forum so I'll give it a rest, hope for the best, and get excited about DWUW video which hopefully won't take long before it's released. Good night y'all I had fun melting down with the rest of you. Overall it was a disappointing day, not counting hours at uni whichever were great. I came home to this crappy prediction, and finally saw maleficent trailer and was severely let down today is just not my day. Good night everybody gurl Maleficent slayed every inch of my body Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgusPop 4,141 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 So, Explain me this: ARTPOP had 100K pre-orders, Its #1 in Amazon, Its #25 best seller of 2013 in Amazon, Eminem is #52 Its #1 in iTunes right now. According to the rule 40/60, 270K is 108K Digitals + 162K Physicals So, How will it sell only 8.000 digitals in 7 days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naachoboy 0 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 why cant i post with my account(joshemonsterxcx) i was quoting this lol And some of us were hoping for 500-550k debut (including me ) Well, this is 10x more than The Fame 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyStory 0 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 None of non-singles didn't manage to enter Top 50. And they are now around 140 - 150 besides Gypsy. Should we be scared? Because I remember Miley was charting but then again Eminem didn't chart as big as Miley but 792K is Eminem's first week sales. I am so so so confused EDIT: Gaga is a album seller so people buy album instead of buying only Sexxx Dreams so songs are not charting? Edit 2: I choose Sexxx Dreams as an example because HELP ME, HELP! Well, Miley did not release any promotional singles like Gaga and Katy, so people got to have a little taste of ARTPOP and PRISM becore they officially came out.

mikenyc 0 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thank god Lorde turned down Katy's offer to be her opening act. Now Gaga can take that slot LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady 748 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looks like she's not an album artist either. ops. She never should've said that tbh. She meant it in a way that she doesn't just record and release singles without album coming out after that. Like she does only full albums, not just individual songs.
