Mills 446 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Reported worldwide sales of Gaga's albums based from the published annual reports of the publicly traded media conglomerate, Vivendi, the parent company of the Universal Music Group (UMG) of which Gaga's currently signed to: 2008: n/a 2009: The Fame- 4.6 million The Fame Monster- 3 million 2010: The Fame- n/a The Fame Monster- 4.8 million 2011: The Fame- n/a The Fame Monster- n/a Born This Way- 6.8 million 2012: n/a 2013: ARTPOP- 2.3 million Note: n/a indicates that the albums weren't included in the annual report after failing to make it into the top 10 best-selling albums cut-off of UMG. This however doesn't mean that they didn't sell at all during that year. ________________________ Reported worldwide sales of Gaga's albums based from the year-end charts of Media Traffic, a site run by chart enthusiasts which tracks sales based on the official charts around the world: 2009: The Fame (Monster)- 5.9 million 2010: The Fame (Monster)- 5.9 million 2011: The Fame (Monster)- 1.5 million Born This Way- 5.4 million 2012: n/a 2013: ARTPOP- 1.3 million Note: n/a indicates that the albums weren't included in the year-end chart after failing to make it into the top 40 best-selling albums cut-off of Media Traffic. This however doesn't mean that they didn't sell at all during that year. For instance, based on the weekly charts of Media Traffic for 2012, the sales of Born This Way have amounted to 404k alone in the first 8 weeks of the tracking year. By the 9th week, BTW has sold less than 25k worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo 40,746 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Poor ARTPOP...it deserves to have more. Oh it definitely did. But it's crazy how it was Universal Music Group's 4th best selling album of 2013 and the world's 9th best selling album of 2013 yet was still managed to be labelled a flop.

VISION 52 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm still puzzled How much did The Fame and TFM sold if we take the Deluxe version of TFM as 2 albums, because it is really 2 albums? Did they also sell TFM separately from TF, or was it mostly the deluxe edition? ARTPOP was the 4th selling album of 2013???? What a f*cking flop It's just all sales decreased And those "n/a" She was still selling her previous albums next years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunir 7,510 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Oh it definitely did. But it's crazy how it was Universal Music Group's 4th best selling album of 2013 and the world's 9th best selling album of 2013 yet was still managed to be labelled a flop. Seriously, Gaga achieved that with one and a half singles and not one of them was #1. Compare her to Rihanna and the success of the singles from Unapologetic. If she were to sell as much as Gaga does, she would have topped 4 million with Unapologetic (in the respective year of release), yet the numbers are the same with ARTPOP. Heck, even Katy Perry isn't better than Gaga in that aspect. Roar was twice as successful as Applause and she sold only 0.6 million more than Gaga, while her album was released earlier (on the back of a mega-successful era). No shade towards Katy or Rihanna, love them both. It was just taken as a comparison since they're her peers. There are absolutely no arguments that can classify Gaga as a flop. Period.
