You'd better hope so.
But your right this whole thing isn't about logic or common sense it's about amount of copies sold so let's stay on topic and discuss ARTPOP flopping and Gaga being a fad. Can't wait for those receipts!
How is that living in the past? The point of that post was Britney's flop won't be worse than Gaga's because of their career points. Who flops with their 3rdalbum? Cyndi Lauper, Paula Abdul, Spice Girls. Who flops with their 8th album? Janet, Mariah. See the difference?
