With this wait, it may very well scan Plat by that time.

This is the third pop radio bomb in a row for her over a 3 year span (GUY, Till It Happens, Perfect Illusion).

I really didn't think she'd be in this rut so soon She's been Lotus'd

When was she ever interested in making normal pop music?

She's touring in 2017 so the album will be out probably in Q2 next year.

When she worked with Flo Rida

Even Starstruck wasn't conventional.

You're absolutely right. ARTPOP was her Bionic. This is her Lotus.

Like The Fame was very reminiscent of Gwen Stefani's sound and image too.

We were expecting -1M update today, so it's all good. For someone as obsessed, you're not that informed.
I have no idea why Ariana stans are getting brave. DW is gonna be her first album not to sell 500k pure (even 300k is questionable) and the last time her single went top 5 was two years ago.

sorry but you walked right into this one.

Nobody is saying Gaga makes super avant-garde music, she never says as much either.

She even says that she went "back to the essence of The Fame" with Joanne, which is making unconventional pop music.

FOMOs: their ability to spend hours talking **** but can't watch a 10 minute interview.

I could understand this...if her two releases in 2016 so far weren't a Diane Warren power ballad a Cher-esque disco rock power pop anthem. She's still making conventional pop music.

Eh?
Gaga is bombing rn, that's not a surprise. But the thing is, Ariana debuted in 2013 and been releasing new music like every 3 months. She lost her WW power in like 1 year.

Like I feel like Mugatu in Zoolander with these proclamations of "she's not making conventional pop music". Wtf is Perfect Illusion then. If you want unconventional pop music that's still pop music then, much to the chagrin of little monsters, you'd actually be looking at someone like Lana.
