True, Gaga's demographic (interenet savvy late teens and twenties) are much more likely to illegally download an album than Katy's demographic (preppy teenage girls)

I thought Gaga was supposed to have hardcore loyalists stans while Katy's fan were less committed.

Seems they are kind of in the same boat, now that Gaga hype from 2009-11 has died down.

Gaga only beat Katy by 12k in UK. Katy beat Gaga by 26k in Australia. I think Gaga won Japan by about 40k, and is ahead in most European countries (where album sales are low in general).

Katy and Gaga are basically in the same boat this era. I hope DWUW will allow Gaga to pull ahead a bit

i was really hoping it'd surpass expectations and get to atleast 300 but im still so happy she got that #1 ! Im not upset about the lower sales because of the shade from other fanbases because i dont go on stupid sites like atrl, im just more upset that not everyone will be able to enjoy this great album because theyre not giving it the time of day

Omfg did he really? 

 

It doesn't make any sense at all. He says one thing but his actions are the complete opposite. I guess it's all just for fame, because no sane and sensible person could possibly believe what he does is okay or that he is ever telling the truth lol. 

 

Yes, he did.

 

 

 

 

 

And also, Im sure ALOT of fans who downloaded it when it leaked didnt buy it, but not all..

 

I got it when it leaked, but I still went and purchased three copies and three different stores, and on itunes!

Why does 32% of retailers mean? What is the difference between 32% of total sales? I am confused lol sorry. Tired.

Gaga has way more stans than Katy, but there are more average joes buying Katy's album.

average joes always outweigh stans

Less than 200k and 69% of retailers have reported? This looks awful :(

We can thank the crappy fans who illegally downloaded ARTPOP...stop being a cheapskate and buy ARTPOP..nomatter the numbers though, ARTPOP is still the BEST ALBUM released this year

 

It's sad, and it's a big part as to why album sales as a whole aren't as high as they were even 5 years ago. So much illegal downloading. I didn't even listen to the snippets Gaga released. I've found it's much more fun to wait and buy the album and listen to it start to finish for the fist time.
