Who would you say had the biggest decline? Kesha from Animal/Cannibal to Warrior? Or Gaga from Born This Way to ARTPOP? Keep in mind that Gaga clearly is bigger, but if you had to put it on a scale of who declined the most, who would it be?

Kesha went from selling 1.7 million with her debut to less than 500k with her sophomore album. You tell me.

Gaga. At least Kesha was able to get a top 2 single during her decline. Gaga went from selling 6 million copies of BTW to 2 million copies of Artpop. Gage's was pretty huge imo.

I feel like this question gets asked all the time...

didn't gaga apparently go diamond with her debut? didn't artpop not even reach 2.5m?

Gaga.

Kesha never had a single peak outside of Top 40, so the answer is clear.

Even if we're comparing Artpop and Warrior, Gaga had 2 top ten hits and 3 top 20 hits (Kesha only had one top 20 hit). Artpop also sold more than double the albums Warrior did.

Kesha. At least Gaga had a #1 album and sold 2m albums + had an 80m + grossing World Tour during her decline

Gaga had a far bigger decline. Kesha achieved a huge global smash in 2013/2014, something Gaga hasn't had since 2011.

Lady Gaga

Gaga

Kesha by FAR, how is this even a comparison?

Artpop was not Gaga's second album like Warrior was for Kesha.

You're also counting the sales for two eras whereas I didn't even include Cannibal's sales for Animal. The Fame (the original album) sold 7 million copies while The Fame Monster (standard and deluxe versions) sold 8 million.

Kesha went from a 9-week #1 to not being able to make music under her own name.

At least Gaga is still selling records and winning Grammys.

if you could read you would know the thread is asking to take in the consideration that gaga is bigger and to compare their declines

Ke$ha's decline was bigger, and Gaga's decline was faster (since K$ had Timber in 2013).

It's not like Kesha had a lot to decline from, but her anyway. Gaga keeps winning into 2016 while she, well..

OK, well Kesha was the biggest new artist of 2010 and she is having to explain to the courts that her career is in danger and her star is diminishing. Gaga's "decline" consists of having two big hits off her last pop album, winning a Grammy with a side project, winning a Golden Globe, getting an Oscar nomination... if that doesn't tell you who had the bigger decline, then I don't know what does. Kesha is literally at rock bottom just six years after having a year most artists would kill for. There's no bigger decline than that.

I would so say Gaga did, but it's pretty close
