Since I don't want to get a WP, I'll just post it here.

Calm down, it was just an example because the OP mentions her.
Don't be delusional the GP is more interested in Gaga because she can sell albums? Gaga promoted A LOT but MTN and Judas flopped. BTW era lasted less than a year because the GP wasn't here for her singles and the album wasn't selling after a few months. It was the definition of front-loaded.
And Gaga needed less promotion? You are a joke.

Because the GP (don't see this as everybody in the world: see this as the people who would consider buying a Pop album or listen to one) already had listened to the album and decided whether to buy the album or not because they were
interested in hearing the album.
With Katy, she barely has any first-week sales because most people aren't interested in hearing more songs after hearing her song on the radio or on TV. They just like the single and don't think about the artist.
This is what's so dangerous about Katy, people aren't actually interested in her. This is why she'll become the Paula Abdul of the current pop girls. If you don't know who she is, know that that'll probably be the case for Katy in 10 or 20 years from now too.
