Luc 4,775 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Do you guys think Gaga's building a fanbase or that the fanbase is getting smaller? ARTPOP had a bit more first-week sales than Applause, but not a lot of people buy singles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Its been barely rising with airplay lately. I mean its stable which is great, but it needs a final push I know and radio kinda annoy me so much ... DWUW Is a clear smash .. with Applause I could understand why It stalled at 50M AI (still shouldn't have stalled when It's THE ****ING QUEEN OF POP's lead single but anyway I could Understand about Applause) but DWUW Is a ****ing radio smash, the Instrumental Is perfect for radio, the structure, the song as a whole Is perfect for Radio and especially American radio ... they are just being b---hes now ... The Monster Is already at 150M AI this Is ****ing unfair .. they make It look so easy to get a hit.. Just write 1 ****ing catchy hook and generic production get 1 huge rapper and 1 huge pop star and here we go - a SMASH... And the fact that Radio has always been encouraging generic songs .. I mean of course people that work In the Industry for Money will follow what's hot on Radio .. It's Radio's fault that POP Music has bad reputation.. They play the same **** every year .. In 2009 was Dance Pop, then the Adele era only boring and slower songs and now genericness again .. Can't they just play good songs no matter of the genre ..

Americano 31,061 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Fanbases really have opportunities to grow with A) Big performances B) Big videos Gaga's fanbase grew a lot with VMA 2009 and Bad Romance video. AMAs were nicely received.. Idk if that built her fanbase up much. I think a viral video would though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Miley .. without Wrecking Ball her VMA performance would've been forgotten by now .. And let's not even talk about Bad Romance .. I am really not sure If Gaga would have been this huge without Bad Romance's video .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Of course not. BR video is still the defining moment of her entire career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foivos 64 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I don't think Gaga's fanbase will get any smaller during ARTPOP era. I just think that it can just become bigger and Gaga should grab this opporunity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Winchester 196 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I don't think Gaga's fanbase will get any smaller during ARTPOP era. I just think that it can just become bigger and Gaga should grab this opporunity yeah exactly...i personally think she's always had roughly the same amount of hardcore fans ever since the fame monster but she lost a lot of casual fans during BTW so i think ARTPOP will bring back some causal fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 People always say that but I doubt so many casual fans would buy the album first week or her singles first weekend in early/mid 2011. You have to be a bit more than casual to go out of your way to get it so soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I am still overwhelmed by the debut numbers ... I mean this only shows us that most of Gaga's sales during BTW were not because of her huge fanbase like everyone thinks but because of the casual listeners .. I mean she must have gained a lot of hardcore fans during BTW ... I would've understand 400k for ARTPOP and 300k for Applause but the numbers she debuted with are kinda scary .. because they show that she didn't just lose the GP Interest but also some fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well a fan from 2009 didn't see the same kind of work/sound/imagery etc. in 2011, so idk why theyd stick around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhonyguy04 3 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I don't blame those who left during the btw era if they went by her music back then. There were some gems but most of the music was bad IMO, including the lead single. If she gets hits and ppl check her album I think a lot of p will be surprise that this time most of her songs are good in the album and buy it. At least it's my opinion.
