um it's good but let's not be delusional

 

Then what do you consider the best album of the year? Just because something "sells" more doesn't mean the quality of the album was overall better. Alot of people associate "best album" with how relevant the artist is that time and how well regarded they are by the media....that's not exactly in Gaga's favor seeing as she was out of the public eye for how long as well as recovering from somewhat of a backlash album among the GP.

Nope. Gaga, and most top artists now, are signed to "360" deals.  This means that the label also invests in and gets benefits from the tour, promotions, and other marketing.  Labels have started going to these deals specifically because so many people illegally download albums now that albums are not profitable.  For all the whining about album sales by all stans, these current generations are responsible for the fact that they don't consider it a moral failing to just download an artists work without paying for it.  They are causing the downfall of the industry that they claim to love.  There will be no money to support big labels, which means no more big pop stars.  Or maybe a few big pop stars, but there will be many less "Kesha" level stars or other mid-level stars because the industry won't have the financial ability to support anyone that doesn't sell at the highest levels.  That's already happening and part of the reason why there is very little diversity in pop music.

 

so people that are simultaneously b---hing about albums not being sold need to look at their playlists and see how many artists they've download for "free" and realize they are part of the problem.  It's not good enough to only buy for the artist you "stan" for, you have to support the industry as a whole if you want it to exist.
