I love Gaga but 250-275k from a 1 million* opening is kinda embarrassing. Plus she has an extra day of sales (released on Mon. instead of the typical Tuesday) and 3 months of pre-order.
The former Spice Girl has admitted she was “gutted” when her comeback single flopped on its release in Australia. The comeback single “Half of Me” was utterly unloved, limping to just 393 sales (the No. 1 was “X-Factor” winner Dami, whose “Alive” sold 44,025 copies). It hardly dented the chart.
Halliwell describes the feeling few of us will ever know – that moment your comeback single sinks. “I laughed nervously, god that’s really bad! (Deep down I was gutted),” she writes. And she reveals how she’s processing it and moving on.
Gaga shouldn't have began the era with that horrible negative energy with the "Gaga is over" videos and her publicizing the "feud" with Katy even more.
Do you really think, that Lorde's career is already over, she joined just last night Hiam on the stage with a Sheryl Crow cover guess who did outsing the three sisters who are pretty good.
A textbook example of someone with minimal talent putting all her eggs in one basket (shocking the public for attention) and it working for a limited time.
Bye Gags. Who will be the next one to try this risky strategy?
