Beyonce...Gaga...Azealia...mia....No Doubt...it is a curse to be my fave at the moment

All these setbacks and cancelations. Maybe I stan for the wrong group

Remember this? It was in January 2011 when Gaga kinda disappeared for a few weeks before she released BTW

That picture doesn't even look like Gaga Gross.

Oh my galsodksmsps.

It looks like Britney Spears

actually. yes

^ That gif

where is she right now?

I remember I said that I had hoped we'd have heard news by my birthday at the start of the year, and now it's my birthday here. Welp.

Is Darren ever coming back? I remember a few weeks ago when Retro said that someone else should get the base, and I sorta agree.

I think J a y brought up changing the thread starter in ATRL HQ, but I don't think they did anything. Darren still comes online as far as I know, he's just not an active poster.

Or thread updater.

Pretty good estimates, if I do say so myself.

How did you estimate those??

For the first five, I used their IFPI numbers. I found the rate of sales growth inside the US, and assumed that the rate of growth worldwide would be approximately equal.

After that, I calculated (from the IFPI and US numbers [yes I made sure the US numbers were from the appropriate dates]) that on average, approximately 55% of Gaga's tracks are sold outside the US, meaning that I'd have to multiply her US sales by about 2.24 to estimate the global sales of ay given track. So from "Paparazzi" down, I did that.

The result is about 96.7 million from those altogether, excluding perhaps a few million album tracks worldwide; this represents a reasonable rate of growth from her label's 91 million claim last year, and so I think these are rather good estimates for the lack of information fans are given.

Judas didn't even crossed 1 million in the US tho And 174k were Hair's first week numbers o it should've at least crossed 250k, always in the US.

I heard Marry the Night on the radio.... twice today.

I was on the fence about "Judas". One source that reported accurate numbers for her other singles reported 1.5 million; however, I know people may not believe that as the last Billboard numbers were 822k.

For the rest I used only the highest reported sales, though I know they've increased a lot by now.
