Doot 2 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yet the ARTPOP app got 300k+ downloads.... Wasn't the point of the app to get the ALBUM too? Anyway the predictions have been fluctuating. since earlier? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 then she comes here and does one show that was so bad (youtube) but the performance was great. But no one watched that one. It was the most streamed song of the week, that put Dope at #8 on Billboard Hot 100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alffy74 53 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 OMG the meltdowns here. on the other hand, TF never reached # 1 in the US. Yet it is one of the biggest sellers in the last decade. People just need to relax. Also, we might see a small surge in sales on Sunday following the SNL performances. But I still believe the problem is with the fan base. I am afraid most fans knew the album was going to leak, so they didn't buy it. Or it is another marketing strategy aiming at making her crazy fans buy more copies. who knows? ARTPOP is about possibilities Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masaki 71 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 But as a fan site where we want to come to enjoy Gaga and celebrate her, we dont need negativity like the user was sending off. I understand where you're coming from, but that's why we need to just ignore it instead of feeding to the negativity and calling somebody a "fake fan" do you understand what I'm saying?

COSMIC LOVAH 0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Huge promo & hype from TFM helped her get 1.1M copies in a week, not only fans IK.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslayer 0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Dear God this thread is depressing. Okay, the projections are lower than first thought. If this is what it takes to lose the tack-ons who are just here to be part of the popstar with the biggest selling power then so be it. The same thing happened to MJ forums and blogs when he died and his sales exploded in 2009, now thankfully almost all have left the fanbase to latch onto the next "it thing." I love being a part of Gaga's network, even if I wasn't feeling the BTW stuff (messages, not the music) as much as most. I, like many, didn't really get overly into the little monsters sort of die-hard-defend-her-till-our-deaths sort of thing, but I appreciate that she's incredible at what she does and tries to best include the hardcores as much as possible. She's been getting the worst wrap of any popstar today since the Madonna comparisons started; there's NOBODY else who can do what she does... every appearance, almost every single day of her life. Her dedication to her talent and her career, and what that results in, is soul-lifting for me, and much more important than her popularity with the GP on a given month or how often her song get played on the radio. It's great to celebrate when Gaga is commercially successful, but she won't always be on top. Maybe she won't achieve the super sales of BTW's opening week again, maybe she will again in four albums' time. Why would you miss the gold she delivers in the meantime? If you were only here because she was the biggest thing on the planet for 3 years then there's the door, you won't be missed. I'm sure the Lorde clubs would love to have y'all until Adele drops her record next year. :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefani328 321 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yes, but she won't make any money from touring if the album isn't selling well...ugh...so depressing gaga is going to be a cyndi lauper Just stop.

llbcherry 591 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) I'm sorry but two things: 1.) We won't know if these numbers are accurate until the final day because these are estimations. Key word is "projected". They were short the last time her album came out. That's very reliable right? /sarcasm 2.) I'm so happy people are leaving (the fan base) because she's "flopping". The door is open!!! So many of you get caught up with the charts and the sales and awards etc. WHO CARES?! Evidently some of you care way more than Gaga and if you don't think that's a problem, it truly is. That isn't her concern so why should it be yours? Gaga could've sold 10K and STILL effortlessly **** on every female pop artist out now. Her talent is what I care about. It's always been that way and that will never change for me."OMG the decay :cry: ". . . stfu. I've said it before and I'll say it again. When another female artist comes along that can sing, dance, write their own music and play ANY type of instrument, then we can have a discussion. Until then Gaga is still the one to beat. Supporter of her artistry, not the charts. (Granted it's cool when we top charts and set records, but that's not WHY I stay and support her. There's a big difference between the two.) Thank you for existing. 2 hours ago, I learned that I have an incurable disease. And you guys are suicidal because her #1 debut has less than amazing numbers? Shame on you. So after the doc called, I get on GGD because Gaga stuff makes me happy. I saw this thread, didn't think much of the numbers, then read through pages of complete bull**** meltdowns. Thanks for helping my mood...... It's about the woman and the music. We are lucky to have both, though many perhaps don't deserve either. Smh. I want her to succeed. But guys... What is life about?

GagaisHotAF 419 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 since earlier? No originally. Anyway the app got 340,000 downloads on IOS. Probably on Grindr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the people are angry that it won't sell more than PRISM or possibly Bangerz because they have been ****ting on Bangerz and PRISM saying ARTPOP will outsell them completely.

GagaisHotAF 419 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 stop complaining and keep buying. We have 5 days!!!! Thank you! People keep on freaking out. But honestly though. When we start to freak all of us start to work very hard. If we all promote it, tweet about it, buy more copies (if you can), ask you friends too, etc, then we can possibly help the first week sales. Also guys she hasn't really promoted it much this week anyway. Probably on Grindr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
