I think Applause was most helped by the goofy Kia commercial, which turned a weirdly written song from an artist with a growing rep for being weird/niche/self-important to an accessible one you could bop along to without listening to the words.

375k is still bigger than 280k
i dont see why certain stanbase has the right to drag, using what ground?

As tragic as first single from BB no. 1 peaked to no.12 or 13 peaked?

Can u help buy work bitch on itunes? Its no.36 on BB and going to fall out of top 50 soon. heehee

Low-balling, hopefully.

Mte. What helped Gaga to get that +1M first week sales with BTW was the hype, and now the hype is gone.

At least Gaga with no hype can have better first week sales than others pop starts with hype tho. No shade intended, just a fact.

The fact that her "flop" numbers are still better than others "best" numbers, says a lot. People are counting Gaga out too early imo.

375k is a solid number, it's not monstrous but it's nothing to laugh at.

these girls are trying their hardest to make 375k seem like a bad debut

they say that Gaga is irrelevant/fading but then backtrack to the "i thought she was the queen of pop, this is underwhelming!!!" when she out-does their faves. the desperation

oop

Lawd.

Monsters dont even try with Britney's sales. Tell me when Lady Gaga'd release her 8th album and last for over a decade.
Karma is a real bitch. Laughed at Katy's sales

not bad for predictions

she will probably sell around 400-550k

Mess

I was expecting 320-350K so this is great for her.

Omg
The 700k drop

okay yes 375k is a lot and basically no females (or acts in general) are doing it
BUT after 1.1 million (and what, 700k without the amazon discount?) 2 and a 1/2 years ago, that's insanely embarrassing

and i'm not one to say never, but anyone predicting 400k+ (especially those who foresee 500k and up) is in dreamland. there's absolutely no way, gaga is going to be lucky to pass 400.
