When you put it that way, true. I agree. Although, you could apply that to the majority of pop artists though. When asked, the average person would have trouble naming most pop albums. They are only really knowledgable on what they hear on the radio regularly. 'Bad Romance' was the only huge moment.

The Fame Monster is the closest thing we have to a perfect album. As long as Lady Gaga stays relevant, which will be for decades to come, the album will be remembered.

I can't. Nobody knows any of the pop girls album names.

Well, The Fame Monster has a few things going for it to begin with. It represents the peak of one of the biggest pop stars of the current millenium and is associated with one of the highest grossing concert tours of all time. It was up for several Grammy awards and won three of its nominations. It was the biggest (or one of the biggest, I'm not sure which) selling album of its own year, worldwide. It spawned the two huge worldwide number one singles Telephone and Bad Romance, the later being one of the most successful and arguably iconic music videos of the decade.
Among these things, it really is difficult to believe The Fame Monster will not stand the test of time in one way, shape or form. On one hand, it represented an enormous part of popular culture of its time, when Lady Gaga was an inescapable phenomenon. That much can not be wiped away. It's there, and will not go away. Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill and Nirvana's Nevermind. What both of these albums had in common was the artists failed to repeat that kind of success, but their influences are remembered. Whether or not Lady Gaga continues to have success will probably not change the fac that it will be remembered in some way, shape or form. With her widespread influence, it is very unlikely that she will not have some impact of future generations of pop artists.

1 in every 20 people in the GP OWN 21. 
And no. But it's not like Gaga is the only pop girl that will suffer this. Rihanna, Katy, Avril, Kelly, Bey. None of their albums in and of themselves will be remembered.

Negative.
They know "21." They know "Teenage Dream." They know "Erotica." They know
"Ray Of Light." Believe me, the general public knows the names of pop
albums from female artists. They won't know "The Fame Monster."
It is not memorable enough and it won't stand the test of time.
It's as simple as that, kids.

I find it hard to believe that they know Teenage Dream if they don't know The Fame Monster, since TFM sold more and its biggest hits were bigger, but whatever floats your boat...

They don't know Teenage Dream They know the song, but not the album. Why should we believe you, as you say? The desperation.
