ARTPOP is not a successful album? Beyonce almost sold just 1 more mil with 40000000x times videos

ANTI won't hit half of ARTPOP's sales

ARTPOP wasn't a successful era but it was a successful album.

And to answer the OP, I don't get it either but for some reason ARTPOP has been used by stans as some kind of standard for years now.

It's the natural succession -> Bionic, Lotus, ARTPOP
I wonder what the next album with just slightly lower sales than expected is going to fall victim of pop music fans

I mean we have seen 25 being compared to BEYONCE and 1989 a lot of times.

But ANTI is always compared to ARTPOP.

It's almost like they are in different categories?

I don't know.

It's more in the sales range of albums like My Everything and Title right now.

ANTI isn't even in the 700K range yet.

At this point, ARTPOP had done over 1.4 million.

This might come to be. Even with 'Work' topping charts, ANTI has dropped to selling below 50K per week (worldwide) in only its 7th week. Things aren't looking good.

Yeah it's weird since ARTPOP sold way more than ANTI.

ARTPOP sold a LOT more than Anti, so don't even try it sis. ARTPOP will always remembered as Gaga's most infamous era, while Anti will be forgotten as soon as November rolls around and Rihanna releases her next album.

Also, Gaga didn't have to give away 1mil copies to get that platinum certification.

Because The Navy dragged Gaga and ARTPOP and now ANTi can't come close to reaching ARTPOP numbers.

I think it's because the navy used the make fun of ARTPOP and now ANTI total sales are like equal to ARTPOP's first week sales.

Gaga is always the standard on ATRL. These atrler's still hold her on a high pedestal even after a flop era idk why they are just obsessed with her

ARTPOP sold 2.5 million and BEYONCÉ is currently at 5 million with SEA + TEA included. So, no.

thats subjective.. as a pop album ARTPOP is way better.. also it has more bops than anti

because anti would lose if compared to those albums.

The monsters were the ones always comparing the two. They wanted anti to flop so artpop could look better by comparison.
