I think she's backtracking a bit.

She is. All comparisons to other artists and pop girls aside, Gaga was/is trying to save face ahead of the release of the album and future singles.

It's a good thing that she is tempering the HYPE (maybe she's learned from the BTW era), but she should choose her words carefully and avoid contradicting herself later.

Drag a bit.

She didn't lie.

Looking forward to her album.

I thought the exact same thing. Strange terminology coming from a global superstar.

She's clearly feeling the heat.

And she and certain deluded members of her fan-base will get the surprise of their lives when they realizes that no one is truly an albums artist without successful singles that effectively "sell" the album.

So, if album sales are low (very real possibility), what will she say then?

"I'm not an albums artist. I never have been. I've always been a complete full musician". Ok Gaga

What if ha songs suck tho?

"I'm not a musician. I never have been. I've always been a visual artist"

lol no. A singles artist is someone whose single's successes don't equal album's. ADELE for example is not a singles artist even though all her singles ****in' slayed the chart. That's because she's managed to sell 25 millions with only 3 no.1 hits and a moderate one.

Rihanna on the other hand was able to produce 3 no1 during LOUD yet her album could only sell 1.7 million copies. That's a single artist. Billboard agrees with me.

Why are you using worldwide sales for Adele and us sales for rihanna....cuz Adele def didnt sell 25 million in the u.s....and loud sold 7 million copies so I think that's great sales for nowadays

People need to learn what a single artist is....a singles trust is someone that can only really sell singles, not albums, and has to perform at jingle balls

Real singles artist: pit bull.flo rida. Demi lovato. Selena Gomez. Kesha.

Rihanna and Katy are not singles artist.....rihanna sells 3 million albums yearly with barely any promo and lately without any real singles ( music videos) ....singles artist don't sell out stadiums as well

Katy is not a singles artist either...her singles do really well and yea her sales probs should be bigger based on her singles success but she still sells a fair amount of albums so she's not

To be fair - she's not telling too many lies. Two of her Grammys are for albums (Fame + Fame Monster).

It would be different for Rihanna to say "I'm an album artists" - the Grammys don't lie.

And Katy? Well...GL w/ that Grammy, girl.

Ri is a singles Queen. Of her - impressive - 21 Grammy noms, only Loud has been nominated for any kind of Grammy consideration as an album. I don't think the industry or critics see her as an album queen. It won't be her legacy.

As for Katy

TheFallenOne

Tell me something I don't know, Gaga.

Relampago.

She didn't lie, especially after Born This Way, she's primarily an album artist.

Singles artists and album artists both have their own benefits. I'm just glad Rihanna found a perfect balance of both.

There are only a handful of iconic and remembered albums
And most legends are remembered from their huge and successful singles
And plus, Unapologetic has a guaranteed best R&B album nomination already
