Kats: won't you ever admit that her album sales are disappointing?
I mean... she had a damn MOVIE out.
No. I don't think selling over six million albums after debuting with 192k domestically and 300k WW is disappointing, especially when she wasn't a major star nor did she have a Fame/GGGB-esque era to float off of.
TD saw tons of boosts internationally with the movie.
He also made an extravagant “teaser” video to promote the album that would run on MTV, in movie theaters and elsewhere. In the video, Jackson is shown in full military garb, striding amid hundreds of Eastern Bloc-type soldiers past delirious fans. He shot the video in Hungary and hired Hungarian soldiers to march in it. The video cost some $4 million to make.

On June 14th, he and Lisa Marie appeared together on the American TV show, Prime Time Live, for the full hour in an interview with Diane Sawyer. On the show Jackson and Lisa Marie revealed some details of their marriage and Jackson discussed his music and career. The program was seen by some 60 million viewers and was one of the most watched programs that year.
TD isn't even 2x platinum in europe while LOUD is 3x platinum there.
That's because of the UK. No where else did she sell more than 100k more than TD.
TD could be 2x Platinum if Katy's label updated her certifications in many European countries.

It's true though. She starts off the era with the best photoshoot of her career, but people still have the bitter taste of the BTW era in their mouths. August 19th will be the moment of truth.
The good sistrens need to cleanse their palette with Applause.

How much has LOUD sold in France?
EDIT: It's sold about 360k. So that's 120k more than TD, roughly. Two countries where LOUD has surpassed TD by 100k, excuse me. Still not enough to close the gap with the US alone.
but wait I thought this performances slayed when I saw it. 
. I've always thought it was done because he's MJ.
