katy had a string of 7(?) #1's hits while Gaga had one #1, 2 hits and 2 flops. TD should have sold much more than it did. which is why i think Gaga will sell more since she doesnt rely on a load of hits. However, nobody though Roar would smash like it did so katy could prove me wrong once again.
But One Of The Boys sold 1.5M+ with 2 hits, i think 8 multi-platinum singles can hurt your album sales at some point. I mean if you include Peacock sales (500k+) many people listened to 70% of her album just buying her songs on iTunes. 2.7M+ are still impressive and is one of the bestselling albums of the 10's.
I think so. I voted yes, a load of people I ask haven't even heard Applause And one of the biggest Gaga stans I used to know isn't really here for her since Born This Way.
Not when ARTPOP is still ranking higher than Katy's "Prism" on the Worldwide Charts
(she's even ranking higher than Miley with Two single in the Top 10 of US iTunes)
things might change & we don't know what will happen in the long run, so don't quote me on this

iTunes Pre-orders =/= album sales.
Selena Gomez was #1 on iTunes preorders and she couldn't sell 100k. Physical Sales are still bigger than digital sales. Top 3 on iTunes USA = 30k.
probably. Doubt both will go beyond double platinum but I hope I'm wrong!
When was the last time an album even went 3x platinum besides Adele ? TFM of course but is there something I'm missing? Seems like 2-3 million is the most artists can hit in the US these days

No, I think that Gaga's app will definitly get the GP buying at least a part of it to experience it and later on buy the whole album if they like it which I think is about a 50% possibility.
