Have we decided what will be considered an underperformance? I'm thinking something like this:
1 million - bombed (she would be gone by March 28, 2014)
2 million - flopped
3 million - underperformed
4 million - it did okay
5 million - smashed
6 million - slayed
There is no fathomable way that she could stall at 1M or even 2M. There's just NO WAY. Unless the public really is over her.
Is that the one that's supposed to be the Telephone sequel? Can't remember how it goes but it was really shouty. :-/
Manicure could work as a single. It sounds like her TheFame stuff and straight women would love it (?). I dunno...
It's the one where she squeals like a pig. I think Aura is the sequel.
MANiCURE could work as a single.

That's not hard. The only Madge films I stan for are Desperately Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy, Dangerous Game, Evita and her two documentaries, even if IGTTYAS was far less entertaining than Truth or Dare.
I like some of her other stuff, and hate two of them (Shanghai Surprise and Swept Away, aka ''Repressed Memories Vol. 1 & 2''.

Like I said before, if the 4 offered single choices are the most commercially appealing, then this era is doomed. But I can't imagine a Madeon produced track co-written by RedOne being weirder than Swine. Gaga and her label are probably just being dumb (I hope so).
It will be so fun watching ARTPOP and PRISM this winter (not for the monsters, maybe)
I still think Gaga will pull borderline great numbers (for the current market, at least), I mean even Born This Way sold decently during the 4th quarter in 2011 despite what the hell was going on with the era at that point.
