Well, let's think logically now that the shocks and meltdowns are cooling.
Let's look at Madonna sales.
Madonna 5M
Like A Virgin 10M
True Blue 7M
4TH ALBUM: You Can Dance 1M
I repeat! 1M
But then... Like A Prayer goes on to sell 5M.
Gaga is suffering a massive decline as do all stars do at certain points in her career. The point is... Shes not done. Shes just smaller and not slaying her competition anymore and now shes more comparable. She'll sell 3M.
In the end, the lesson is, shes gonna come back harder. Katy had Roar, Miley had hype and controversy along with Wrecking Ball and We Can't Stop, Gaga had nothing but and underperforming single and sparse promo.
Her label will gather her. End of story. But yeah, we deserved to be dragged. This fan base as a whole has spewed so much hate as a whole that we should just stay humble and accept Gaga aint at the top rn. That doesn't mean Rih, Katy, or anyone else can take her place. Theres no one slaying particularly harder than the other. Everyone is mediocre.
Gaga has a few hits left. This should be a 3 single era. Applause, DWUW, And Gypsy. Nothing too extreme. **** Venus.
Now... all she needs is for us all to stand by her.
I'm excited for the massive climb back to the top when Bad Romance 2.0 comes. I dont care if she says we should stop saying that, because thats what she needs.
I hope this is a big slap in the face for her. I know she cares about being on top. She needs to stop playing the passive game and go for it. This era is kind of a snooze fest.
BTW may have had less longevity but it consistently slayed the lessors. Get it together Gaga sis and be the innovative mysterious and cool popstar you used to be.
honestly, she failed at mixing art with pop, you cant mix them like she tried. Imma need Gaga to release the real successor to TF/TFM. This is obviously not the techno raver little sister people were looking for.
