Its no secret that ArtPop wins outside of the U.S. so let's just focus on the U.S. where both albums are nearly identical in stats, both albums produced one top 10 hit Anaconda and Applause which both sold around the same, both albums manage to scan Gold status and both albums experienced controversy but which album as a whole is a bit more successful? The Pink Print by the Repubilcan Queen Nicki Minaji or ArtPop by the Democratic chantauese Lady Gaga?

The Pinkprint was much bigger.

ARTPOP was much bigger.

?

in the US? obviously TPP but WW it's a different case.

the one that sold like 2.5x times more than the other one.

Anaconda barely outsold Do What U Want. It's certainly NOT near Applause's sales. The OP's inaccurate.


Anyhow, the answer is ARTPOP.

The song Only is more known then the entire A era alone

The barbs on their base are constantly saying "Anaconda" is 2x Platinum and i assumed they meant in sales

ARTPOP

Artpop numbers wise. TPP had more impact. Anaconda + Truffle Butter > Applause + DWUW

?

Well if only US then I don't know I guess TPP but it's close

What?

Anaconda was a viral HIT and she caused controversy. nobody cared about the Artpop era.

all the Artpop videos views combined < Anaconda music video

clearly ARTPOP
