It's 4 months to the release, and you're already talking about the leak

Leaks usually happen after the album has been shipped out to stores in some kind of way. I doubt that'll happen anytime soon. Even pre-ordered albums don't get uploaded to the website.

Actually Harlem Shake is the only #1 debut this year

Probably because of the viral streaming stuff. I think she can do it sales wise honestly.

She probably will upload an audio video with the single so she has a chance imo

I'm hoping she does a lyric video instead tbh.

I think she'll be able to do 600k first week single sales. Let's not forget that the VMAs are in Sunday, which is still first week of the release. The question is, will she debut at #1 on the Hot 100?

She should be smart and release the video in the same day as the song! If she can't, she should do something to ignite streams. Like, say to the fans submit videos singing the song so she could do a special Lyric video. Every video would count for Hot100!

If Born This Way managed that, ARTPOP can surely do a million first week

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. A lot of things happened because of Born This Way, don't forget it. I just hope she keeps selling, I don't want another frontloaded album. She can do 400k and I'll be ok if she keeps selling tbh

[Jack!]

I think she can beat out Taylor's first week sales. Even if she doesn't though it won't matter. People on ATRL will probably she's fading if she doesn't though.

I'm here for Gaga to stream the album one week before like Timberlake and others. The people who want to leak won't even get a chance

Her sales will be front loaded that's a fact, not only that but since she's definitely been missed, she will probably sell faster. Mind you with a good enough lead single, that's enough to make people forget about an era that didn't have as much impact as it could have.

Basically. The music will speak for itself. Jesus Christ, JT was gone for nine years and sold more than 900k because the material was very good (and a nice radio deal... which Gaga can do too)

Yep! Even if she is front loaded she has the opportunity to sell more the week after because of Black Friday and then the Christmas holidays are there. So her album sales will be pretty good those following weeks. Think of it like Red.

Her album sales will be HUGE. You know that Gaga is a promo freak, she will keep selling more than 200k the rest of the year, a Red kind of slayage. I'm sure this will sell more than Born This Way in the US. People are not ready

Billboard now incoparate YouTube views into the streaming formula, somehow they found out which views come from the US and factor that into sales/airplay/streaming etc. It can be any video as long as it features the song in it for at least 30 seconds (I think)

The reason Harlem Shake debuted at #1 was because of the all the 30 seconds videos that where gaining popularity on Youtube

[Reserved]

I would be slayed if new single sounds like We Found Love mixed with Beauty and the Beat

[YR.]

The fact that Blurred Lines has 220 million airplay and it's still increasing...

[LadyGagaStan93]

I need Pop radio to be ALL the way on board this era. No messing around!

That's sick.

I'm the only one that doesn't like that song?

[LadyGagaStan93]

Everyone record reaction videos with the song audible enough to be heard
