Probably

I forgot how to add a poll...

ARTPOP is at 2.5? That isn't a flop.

Yes. But Bey's previous album had sold over 7 million and Gaga's sold over 6. So by comparison those albums underperformed.

Yes if it was Katy Perry that released ARTPOP it would be considered a success.

Yes.

I stopped reading.

There first single choices killed the era tbh

Not for Rihanna, her Rated R album sold 3 mill and was considered an underperformance.

No. 4 and Artpop were just bad, poorly managed albums.

ARTPOP has not and will not sell over 2 million.

And 4 did well. It was just an underperformance by her standards.

Both Born This Way and I Am... Sasha Fierce are at 8 million now actually!
But this is exactly what I was thinking.

4's album sales are very good, but I think Katy and Rihanna would get dragged for not having a Top 10 since they're known for having huge singles. But if we're just talking about album sales, it would be considered a success for them.

It's just because their power is so big that it looks so small in comparison to their previous efforts. This would have been considered a hit album for the rest of my faves (besides the kings coldplay of course)

Well after selling nearly 8 million with GGGB, it was an underperformance.

.

Artpop is at 1.8M

Didn't ARTPOP sell like 1.2 or 1.8 million?

If it was Katy, she would probably ditch the album on the moment of conception and change her mind on what kind of album she is going to make.
