Paper Planes 340 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm not going to try and justify the sales numbers; they're definitely less impressive than I expected for somebody as big as Gaga, but considering she didn't little to no promo outside of the artRave and that one performance on GMA, I guess she's doing okay for herself. delete it fat Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronk 14,762 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 the uploader who leaked it is from Hong Kong actually Gaga is very truthful, and when she says it's about the music and not the numbers, she means it. The problem is many of her fans only care about the music and they downloaded it for free and never purchased a copy. The fans that care about Gaga herself and not only the music, purchased the album ... some purchased several copies. The earliest sales predictions of 400-500k were correct or even low if everyone didn't already have the album from downloads. I live outside the space time continuum.

No Angel 128 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Not even gonna sugarcoat it. This is pretty unimpressive.. especially for Gaga. The album is amazing, but still.. Oh well. Not even numbers will make me hate this album. It's fun and energetic. Anyways, It all comes up to total sales really.

Stra 6 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) You can't expect ARt to be in the forefront and have big album sales. That's commercialism in the forefront. ARTPOP selling the most or more than others is an oxymoron if you want to be ART and not Commercialism. So we have ARTPOP - ART + POP A unity in the middle. Not huge in commercialism. Not too Artsy. and that is why Troy left, he couldn't do his job. Edited November 19, 2013 by Stra Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtash 36 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Gaga is very truthful, and when she says it's about the music and not the numbers, she means it.

The earliest sales predictions of 400-500k were correct or even low if everyone didn't already have the album from downloads. I can't even bring myself to contemplate illegally downloading an album and "stealing" it for free. I think about it like if Gaga (as well as any other artist I like) takes the time to make music for her fans to buy and enjoy, then the least I can do is support their effort and purchase a copy.
