I applaud you sis.
I love seeing us requesting.
Also, on the Itunes front,

4 Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All 0.6547

light red, might be the sight of her losing some steam. Good news.
Quote:
5 Lady GaGa - Yoü and I 0.6025
|
light red, second consecutive, she's holding her ground. I'm so proud right now.
Also guys, if you can, I still haven't found a reliable AC request link, request The Edge of Glory on AC stations....
Quote:
8 = LADY GAGA The Edge Of Glory 875 +13 66 -1

She has the 3rd highest bullet of the top 10 (93 and 71 respectively). I know you guys want You and I to chart on AC already; however, The Edge is doing so great on this chart at an unprecedented level. We cannot lose this opportunity.
People complaining that she has lost touch with the younger audience should realize that considering the target audience or responding audience is more likely the HAC/AC market for TEOG/YAI (kind of) we should do what we can to ensure that she becomes a staple for those formats at well.
That and I want TEOG to go 2X platinum, if it hasn't already.

I think you take my posts about Gaga under-performing way too seriously.
Gaga is pulling impressive numbers depending on which market you're looking at dude. If you look at say Japan or Taiwan, she's exceeding any expectations anyone could have. Now, if you look at the US, you cannot deny her sales are somewhat disappointing considering this is her Home country. Y'know?
It's kind of like how Kylie Minogue has lost favor with Australia. She used to be such a staple there, but now her singles do much worse than they used to be. This is an extreme example, but I'm hoping you actually get my point instead of misunderstanding what I'm really trying to say, causing me to get irritated with you again. And for you or someone else to REPORT ME AGAIN. I'm still quite livid about that.
Ok. What you're misunderstanding is, I said I wanted her to have consistency.
For several weeks, after Born This Way was released, every time the numbers came in, she was getting sales, sure, but at a negative proportion (and at alarming rates).
Sure, big drops from 1st to 2nd week are normal, but an 80% drop? (I'm still fine with the numbers; don't misunderstand). My problem isn't the number of copies sold but the rate in which the copies are being sold. Make sense? I'd rather her have at/around the same amount of sales each week instead of one week being 24k and the next being 8k.
Does that help at all?
She's sold plenty; I just want her sales to be consistent instead of polarizing.

Well, when you break it down like that, you can claim anyone is inconsistent. Adele is pulling big numbers in America, but she's not pulling big numbers in Iraq.
I also really don't see how 1.7 million is "disappointing", but okay. Gaga's not just a US artist, she's a world artist and the world numbers is what we should worry about.
I didn't report you, lmaooooo. I just got reported and the category was "annoying", rofl.
It's nearly impossible to be consistent when you've sold a year's worth of albums in three months. That's the problem. If she hadn't of sold so much so fast, we'd still be getting bigger numbers.
The biggest reason for the inconsistency is probably the fact that everyone who wants the album in the US already has it, so it's left up to the general public. But, like, technically hasn't the album been steady and consistent around 18-30k per week?
Also, you should learn to articulate yourself better so that people can understand. You shouldn't get mad because people don't understand what you're trying to say. You're saying it, so it's up to you to convey your thoughts properly. You're saying you want this and that and you're receiving this and that but you're not happy. THAT IS WHY IT MADE NO SENSE.
In the end, Gaga took a risk with this album and she'll have to deal with the consequences.

Sis. It's never the wrong time for you to come to the thread.
I would never want you to feel uncomfortable or anything involving this thread.
You're one of the best stans an artist could ask for, and you bring so much enthusiasm and value to the thread.

I've requested several times before, but I usually don't say anything once I do, so I figured this time I should.

First of all, you're the only poster I've ever really had this problem with, and you are the only person I've really ever gone off on in this thread (or the previous two).
You're missing the point again.

It's not.
I'm talking about her weekly sales. The total is irrelevant because most of those were in the first week.

Recently, yes.
However, before you came around, it was falling in regards to the rate of copies sold each and every week. Again, I don't know how else to explain this.
Her total copies sold is fine. However, I would have liked to see the sales less front-loaded
Perhaps part of it was the amazon deal. Perhaps it's the fact that Interscope is charging high prices on iTunes and hasn't discounted to my knowledge at all.
Maybe people have pirated the album since the price is so high in comparison to other albums.
Regardless, I'm a content fan. But when you introduce this forum and billboard, y'know, there are things I would rather see, just because I want Gaga to be the best.
Edit;
I just want to say that regardless of our misunderstandings, I'm glad you're passionate about GaGa as much as I am. Clearly, or we wouldn't be having conversations like this.
No hard feelings.

I'm sure a lot of people do, but I've been trying to encourage people to post here that they've done it. People tend to follow the crowd. So, if one person decides to post that they've requested, perhaps another person will do it simply because the links are available.
Also, we also have guests who are browsing here, if they are that interested in Gaga, and they see the links, it's possible that they might click on them and request as well.
And we get a lot of lurkers. I see you all.
That's all.

Haha.
Well, it is the Born This Way thread.
We're all still a bit infatuated with The Fame(Monster).

I didn't realize she had so much going on this month. Her television special next week, the Emmy's less than a week after that, and then iHeart Music Festival the week after that. I swear we stan for the hardest working bitch out there.

I always compare the sales of TF(M) and BTW from the previous thread and all it led was bickering for 10 pages... And I think the comparisons are inevitable but I have to agree that somehow the BTW sales are not meeting expectations...

We really do.
She works so hard.
I flip out on people in real life who criticize Gaga. I give them half-hour essays on how they're wrong.

How about this, you keep worrying about her sales and being the best and I'll just enjoy the ride.

When did the last one come out? D: I figured we'd get one a week.
SHE BETTER NOT HAVE FORGOTTEN. This is one thing I won't forgive.

But please do request

This will help Gaga on the American charts. If you’re outside America, you won’t be able to do #3, #4 and #5, but the rest should be working fine.
1 - Vote for ‘Yoü and I’ on the American Top 5 (KIIS FM). http://www.kiisfm.com/pages/ryan_at5
2 - Vote for ‘Yoü and I’ on JoJo’s 9@9. http://www.kiisfm.com/pages/jojo_9at9
3 - Text “Play Yoü and I” to 55100 (Z100).
4 - Text “Request Yoü and I” to 41027 (KIIS FM).
5 - Text 69923 and ask them to play “Yoü and I”.
6 - Request “Yoü and I” on Z100. Choose only Yoü and I and not any other of Gaga’s songs, so they won’t know you’re a fan: http://www.z100.com/pages/info/request.html
7 - Request “Yoü and I” to your local radio station. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/96km4f
8 - Listen to “Yoü and I” Audio on Lady Gaga’s VEVO account. For streaming points
9 - Select “Yoü and I”, enter your name, enter the code at the bottom of the page and hit submit. http://tinyurl.com/ydnft6w
10 - Call 1-800-669-1010 and ask them to play “Yoü and I”. One play here = 25 radio plays, it’s good for the charts. This only works on weekends after 7pm EST.
11 - Watch the “Yoü and I” Music video on Lady Gaga’s VEVO account. For streaming points
Everything I listed is free (the texts are toll free, you only pay what you usually pay when you text)! Don’t request the song more than once an hour or it’ll count as spam.
