guys don't overreact yet.
Although MTN is played on one of the biggest stations in US up to 9 times per day .. it still hasn't grow on general public.
also, not many stations are playing it. One big station won't make the song top 100 or even top 10 .. only when smaller stations jump on board and collectively boost general public's interest then only MTN can reach the top
A tour kinda sustains the album more than vice-versa. Successful tours have more to do with how large your devoted stanbase is than how many #1s you've racked up in the past few months. That's why Gaga's debut tour doing so well was such a big deal. Other artists have put up the kind of singles chart run she did, not many were able to accumulate a large rabid fanbase in such a short period of time.
Pretty much,
A tour isn't about the album per se, it's more about the brand. Who is Lady Gaga, pretty much. Her tour will smash period.
But I LOVE the blue lipstick.
