you guys are so extra

They're not losing money.

Lady Gaga is one of the highest-earning female musicians of the 21st century and has been bankrupt several times. Her record-breaking debut tour not only consisted of more than 200 shows, she performed again to just earn enough money to pay for the stage production, her outfits, all of the self-produced videos (not just music, the side-projects.)

Since then she's donated millions to charities, supported her own foundation, paid for various operations for her friends, houses, cars, memorabilia, and whatever else she wants.

Gaga is multimillionaire and one of the most successful artists on the planet and you're suggesting to drop her for "bad sales." Where's the bad sales because the woman is throwing money away for her own creative projects (the ones everyone insults her for, as recent as Million Reasons!) Apparently she's buying her awards and accolades too. I'm confused.

Joanne:
830k (by the end of this tracking week) * $12.99 average (the deluxe is 17.99 at some stores) = $10.7 million

Perfect Illusion:
350k+ WW * $1.29 = $450k

Million Reasons:
450k+ WW * $0.99 average = $450k

She's pulling in a better profit than 90% other artists can do nowadays. Any label would be more than happy to sign her up and she's still Interscope's most profitable artist other than Eminem.

I don't want to see her to get dropped but maybe if they threaten ha she'll go back to her old self

After Damito Jo flopped they slashed her budget and reduced her to the urban division of the label and after 20 yo they chose not to renew her contract.

Are you kidding me? Gaga could easily get a Vegas residency. You wait and watch cause it will happen in the coming years

how much did the show cost to produce though?

and she was losing sponsors so who knows how much interscope had to put out

She has gotten 200M Spotify streams for Joanne alone in 2 months. That's good enough in revenue as it will keep growing.

She may not be a huge A list pop star anymore but she's not doing THAT bad . She'd need to debut her album at like #30 and not chart on the Hot 100 to get dropped

exactly

I'm sure it was profitable. Because the turnout was high enough. It was not half empty arenas

So? Joanne has 1.1m SPS after 2 months. Decent single sales. Decent streams. And will pull in big with the tour.

Sweat to god, these flop artists get by on their labels with 200k selling albums yet Gaga is at danger for getting dropped when her album is barreling towards 1m in pure sales and 1.5 SPS WW.

thread is a mess

the university of ATRL is apparently now teaching blind business finance 101

But the Little Monsters said Rihanna's 100+ million from 67 dates for the ANTI World Tour (excluding festivals) was weak and unimpressive. Why would Interscope care about Gaga's 83 million from 80 dates???

If she can't do arenas, she will perform in amphitheatres. She just won't rest. She is very hardworking. She's her best on tour.

the label probably gets like... 20% of that

after management, distributers and the artists get paid

artRAVE was the #10 best selling show in 2014. Here's a list of the Top 100. I wonder if #11-#100 got dropped from their labels?

I never said that. It is impressive.

i'm not saying the tour wasn't at capacity! i know a lot of people saw it. i just also know gaga has high production values which i'm curious to if the costs overrun the earnings. she had that problem with the fame monster ball did she not? and had to front costs herself?
