Because she has, sorta, built up her own niche. Her whole aesthetic is so far removed from any other artist that I can name. On the front of it, she's a goth-punk thing with music that wouldn't feel out of place on The Wire.

Come on, this is ATRL. Its bound to happen!

It's funny cuz ATRLers were always like, "Hew?!? Don't know Barbara, don't know her sings, they don't play ha at da club!"

And now...

I'm honestly shocked people don't know Barbra Streisand. Shows how the average age here is 14-16.

What's In The New Chicken Wraps? needs to be her next single.

I know who is Barbra since when she presented my fave's Oscar

The possibilities are endless.

Ugh, the Mansters are already back to being insufferable and all it took was ~100K of sells.

Had no idea Babs is this powerful. Real legend. Someone should re-post that when Madonna's next album debuts with 90k and drops 80% second week.

(Assuming there is no ticket bundling this time, of course)

True. I'm glad another fanbase took over their mantle this year tho and seem dead set on keeping it, no matter how hard the monsters try it, I'm not seeing them toss out random irrelevant feats about a certain stars world tour for every single thread/reply. Now THAT is getting annoying. Bless her.

It's too difficult to predict what Madonna's next album will open with. It's all about the lead single. I think she's got 125-150k on lock tho (excluding ticket bundle).

Beysts?

Barbra streisand is not a thing here unless you had americanized parents so I am excused for not knowing who she was until like 2 years ago.

Maybe! Still like her album tho.

Anyways, feel bad for Justin Bieber stans. The boy is pretty talented but everytime I try giving him a second chance, I read a tabloid about how he has punched someone or used a derogatory term. He needs to be Robert Downey Jr.'d ASAP.

I was exaggerating with 90k, but up to 150k seems like a stretch.

185k/359k copies of MDNA were from ticket bundles (according to Wiki at least). MDNA had a lot going for it to get the rest of the sales:

• Superbowl
• Lead single ft. Nicki with big radio deal
• Following up more successful Hard Candy era
• Renewed media interest after BTW/EY controversy (yes this is a stretch )
• Probably more stuff I'm forgetting

If her next era really involves cringeworthy stuff like "Unapologetic Bitch" and whatever she has been posting on Instagram...

Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe she will manage a lead single ft. Beyoncé, Katy, and Rihanna and shock us all.

I hope Unapologetic Bitch or Bitch, I'm Madonna are the lead singles.
