Batwings 12,885 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just my two cents... Gaga is basically the only artist I support who is known for having huge sales, #1 smashes, and worldwide acclaim. Most of the other artists I listen to are indie-ish or less well-known, so sales and charts don't matter all that much to me. The only issue for me is that I would be so sad and disappointed for Gaga if ARTPOP isn't a huge success because I know how much hard work she put into it for so long. But let's be honest, if "Dope" can be a Top 10 hit, then who knows what could happen? Who saw that one coming? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I bet she ends up selling 300k+ and ya'll will feel so stupid about your meltdowns. I still have a feeling she'll sell 350K. SNL is coming up on Saturday and something iconic could happen to boost sales. You never know. Fingers crossed.

Doot 2 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 We shall see. I do think the predictions are low. I don't think she will sell in the 400K range, but I do think she will break 300K, and then everyone can shut the f uck up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that has anything to do with it. It's because the album and the music didnt add up to the hype, and she did barely ANY promo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaxboy 5,497 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 She needs to release the DWUW video ASAP. I wish she were on Jay Leno or something one of these nights. She just has to out sell those other silly girl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangTheGong 310 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 She did less than 30k with the pre-orders... my god, a disaster. Lemme log out No I'm sure it did more. The singles had to be retrieved from iTunes (they did not auto-download in your library). So, maybe people who pre-ordered just never got around to retrieve the track this week, or didn't care for the track to retrieve it. This makes sense considering all the ARTPOP leaks that were being downloaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo 327 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I think there are a number of factors. BTW, lack of promo, & lack of hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Minaj 0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Wow she had a lot of promo and she's doing Miley Cyrus numbers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylangaga 216 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) yall are so dramatic! Just because the opening numbers arent huge DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT GONNA SELL WELL and have longevity...the chart queens in here need to hop off and go elsewhere. ARTPOP has so much flawless music on it and its AMAZING QUALITY! Edited November 14, 2013 by dtook91 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
