Long-run

Gaga WW

Katy US.

Gaga WW first week of release

PRISM

probally artpop. but its anybodies game tbh.

Gaga for both, obviously. I mean if Katy couldn't even outsell Gaga during the era that will end up being the height of her career then...

ARTPOP

First week: easily Artpop
In the long run, I can't be sure because I haven't heard the albums yet

ARTPOP. Gaga will outsell Katy again.

First Week - ARTPOP
Long Run - Prism (it's getting another huge campaign like TD)

If Katy couldn't even outsell Gaga's flop era with god knows how many #1s, what makes you think she'll outsell artpop?

But TD sold less than all of gagas albums...

Exactly. There's not even competition.

I think ARTPOP will sell more in the long-run. Worst case scenario for Lady G is her songs/theatrics are too polarizing & out there, than I would't be surprised if Kathyrn gets ahead. Never underestimate the competition.

Rihanna's 8th album

But artpop most likely....it feels like it will be epic based on promos alone

Idk but I will forever label Katy the current paula Abdul so just waiting for her exit

Let's not kid ourselves now Prism will have cute sales tho

This

But Teenage Dream literally had the biggest promotional campaign ever, including a movie and re-release, yet Born This Way still outsold it. So why would Katy win this time?
