I'm just shocked and appalled by these 1st week numbers tbh. I mean we knew BTW "damaged" her but to this extent?

She better stabilize or GROW throughout the rest of the ARTPOP era, because another big drop for the next album would make Jack Johnson my best-selling fave

I knew ARTPOP wouldn't open huge, but I truly expected at least 300k :jonny;
I always pitied the Britney stans for having to live in the past/cling to old receipts/her glory days when she could dance (especially since I'm kind of ex-Army) but now I'm beginning to live their pain

Let us never forget Gaga's glorious 2008-2011 sales
However, one tiny bit of consolation: Gaga and Katy are essentially selling in the same range while one of them is at a career-low, yet the other is at the absolute height of her career
