What did she even do...?

I think 2m+ is the standard for a successful album now.

I don't think Lana cares about album sales. I think she's completely satisfied with where her career is right now. Gaga on the other hand is probably miserable knowing some minimally talented bimbo like Katy Perry ended her career and now she's stuck recording average selling jazz albums with a dusty fossil by her side at all times.

So Lana wins!

I don't know - I'd lower the bar to 1m, let's be real. Will we even have 15 albums released this year that reach 1m WW? Because I know for sure we won't have 10 reach 2m.

Literally nothing. She just has white privilege like any other white artist but people are running at her with pitchforks and torches just because she's an easy target.

1m is still an underperformance. That's like 3m in early 2000's sales.

American Life and Charmbracelet both did 3m and were considered underperformances.

"ended her career" / "stuck recording average selling jazz albums"

Gurl what r u on, her jazz album - which will outsell UV - is actually not even selling ARTPOP numbers WW and she's still outselling Lana, how exactly do u think that's a loss

I meant "2.3 million" not "2.8"

I don't think it actually is, though. It might line up as far as ratios but we're seeing outliers like Taylor throw those ratios off; a lot more albums sold 3m back then than will sell even 1m this year.
