This is STILL quite depressing for Gaga if these numbers turn out to be her actual first week.Hopefully these low projections won't be the new norm for her

[Leon]

Not everyone calling an estimate that puts it as the 3rd biggest opening week by a female a flop. ATRL is so messy.

[MaRy]

OMG with all the promo...

Hopefully her WW numbers will be good, but she needs to release Gypsy now

Daaaamn the mediabreak and Gaga herself arent helping.
But why am i feeling like she's intentionaly destroying herself, so as to dust off and build herself back up again
Anyway,ARTPØP slays and remains a great album and crossing my fingers for longevity this era.
Aaaaaaaahhh messss!!

Wasn't it ARTPOP's job to do this after BTW?

I guess it just goes to show The Power of Gaga when the haters are celebrating "a flop" with her debuting at #1 with more than a 1/4 million records sold.

Considering everything, this is great. Just like Applause, this era was created to avoid frontloaded sales like Born This Way. Didn't you read the interview with her manager?

The same thing happened with Applause. Katy Perry fans celebrated the flop, and then it became a huge radio smash and now it's actually above Roar on radio. Do What U Want is slaying Unconditionally and is actually growing on iTunes while the latter has red updates.

But enjoy your delusions, haters. This is not 2011. Gaga learned a lesson from overexposing herself early BTW era. This is exactly as planned.

Slay Gaga! Congrats on your second #1 album!

Well said.

[Mr.Link]

NOT a 75% drop

Let the meltdowns and the excuses begin

[LanaDReyOnline]

She did not break her hip for this.

[Bee․]

Ohh wow...

[LP54]

OHH ****.

Not Gaga dropping to #2 on iTunes.

Spending her budget on useless **** (like the artRAVE + other events) instead of doing good old-fashioned TV promotion. A mess.

Basically. Where was the Gaga who would spam every awards show, reality show, talk show, and anything else that ends in show? I don't think she or anyone else expected it to do anything better. Her numbers are still impressive, though. Let's be real: no female pop star is super smashing lately. IDK, it's like they're all distracted or something.

Some of you are overreacting. 260k is alright. But it is still a prediction. So it could be higher

[Rigalo]

I can't at her selling nearly 1/5 of BTW first week tho

[Hunter_13]

Not less than my faves second week sales.

Poor Gaga.

[supaspaz]

Eminem would have to drop almost 70% for Gaga to still get the #1 album. I wouldn't hold my breath.
