Eek, the desperation. Beyonce is charting ahead of her because of the self-titled album and Rihanna is charting ahead of her based on singles mostly, not albums. If you look at the position of Rih's and Bey's older albums on Kworb a lot of them ones aren't charting in any major territories either, so...not to mention The Fame sold more than any Bey or Rih album. So, those 100 copies that they're selling now won't do anything to close that gap (not shade though, I like all 3 of the ladies mentioned). Adele...well she just slays everyone.
I will give you that Gaga doesn't have the most impressive back sales in regards to her older singles, but when you've sold about 13 million like Gaga did with Poker Face, how much more can a single really sell? I think a lot of it has to do with the public backlash as of late + her not being in the forefront of the music world during the ARTPOP era. Obviously when there isn't as much interest in her, she'll be selling less than she normally would. When Applause was out and doing well I noticed the positions of her older singles were much better as well.
All in all you just tried way too hard and kinda failed.
