I am not gonna include Beyonce cuz it would be more unfair since she started in 2003.

I mean if you really want to make Gaga look so bad, ok, BUT these are REAL numbers (yeah they are rough numbers , probably slightly different 300-400k mistake, BUT YOU GET THE POINT).

"probably slightly different 300-400k mistake"

rihanna sold 5.1m in 2011 according to mediatraffic not 3m

ur biased and wrong

If she sold 5.1M in 2011 then she sold less in 2010, that's my point, I just tried to add her LOUD sales.

I am not biased and not wrong, considering you couldn't say anything else about Katy's sales ?

-mUsIcLoVeR-

Because she sky-rocketed to the top, and she had so much going on (fame, success, tours, acclaim, pressure) all at the same time, giving her so much weight to carry making it easier to go down from the high.

I think she's rebuilding herself tho. She still has a lot of time to prove a lot of things that she has already shown.

Miracle

She is winning GRAMMYs with jazz albums, collaborating with legends, being the most talked about person in the biggest cinema awards when she's a musician, being the main character in one of the most famous USA shows and you're still saying she's decaying in every field?

Tsuko

Yeah, Lady Gaga started getting famous mid-2008 and peaked early 2009. It's because she had a massive promotional campaign behind her and her music was EXTREMELY commercial at the time, right on trend. It couldn't go wrong.

So you think Lady Gaga today is as big as she was in 2009? If she's not as big today as she used to be, then she's faded. It's not rocket science. Just because she's still famous, it doesn't mean she hasn't faded. David Guetta, 50 Cent, Ke$ha and Ciara are still famous, but they've obviously faded compared to their past popularity, same for Lady Gaga.

Gaga peaking in early 2009

I think she peaked in December 2008..

Lady Gaga is not as popular today as she was in 2009, but she is light years bigger and more powerful, unless you are trying to tell me that a female artist with 5M networth (Gaga in early 2009) is bigger than a female artist with 300M Networth ?

Y'all would embarrass yourselves just to try and drag Gaga ... pathetic.

Gaga didn't peak in Dec 2008

She peaked mid-2009 to mid-2010. She was everywhere.

Then regained her peak in 2011.

I was being sarcastic

Her peak was end of 2008 till middle 2011 when everyone realized that Adele is the it girl.

SlayMeQueen

It will hurt her legacy for sure. There are many more pop stars breaking out and overshadowing her in this day and age.

I must have not caught that one

GypsyLife

Guys stop going back and forth. Question is why she peaked so fast. Not who had the biggest era or who sold the most albums.

That's what we're trying to explain, that she didn't peak fast.

She was on top since end of 2008 till middle 2011.

The other girls' several peaks were basically either 1 smash hit in an era that sold 3M albums or something similar. And those "re peaks" were basically 2-3 months. And again in those peaks those artists were still not on top of the whole industry.

Lady Gaga was on top of everything, literally, for 3 years. This is not peaking fast

Y'all are trying to tell me that Katy's TD era and then a few months during PRISM era are better than Gaga's 3 year of slayage Single, ALbum sales, Power, Money, Media attention, EVERYTHING ? Simply not.

Are we talking about the jazz covers album that outsold some it girls of 2014? won a grammy weeks ago? scanned gold? went #1?

Well considering her touring power has completely declined, her last 3 singles did not chart, and her latest album sales are the pits, improving in them really shouldn't be that hard.

I just don't want you to expect some sort of re-peaking, revolutionary era, to then be disappointed

Completely declined? 88m is surely less than 180m but some girls would give their left arm for grossing that much.

Expecting Jazz singles to chart?

Also why did you become so bitter? I always counted you as a nice member of ATRL.

I'm gonna group all 3 of those eras as 1, then act as if ARTPOP is her 2nd era so I can claim she had one of the hugest declines in Pop history and it wasn't a natural decline after 3 record shattering eras".

Read them.

Gaga was HUGE. But no other pop girl after her become bigger than she was.
