I knew that people would change their mind as soon as we get the reviews and the first week sales. Unfortunately I was right.

If you enjoy the music, focus on that. If you don't (like me), well, that sucks and the next 2 - 2 1/2 years until we hopefully get new music will be a pain in the ass.

no it wont be IMO, farewell to the people who jumped ship, but the upcoming time until a new album is released will be fun with her doing promotion for the album all around the world then going on a world tour!

Isn't it ridiculous to jump ship just because the opening numbers are very disappointing? Let's wait till the end of the year to see if it's definitely a flop. And even if it is a flop, it's still my favourite album of the year so far.

What's ridiculous is basing your music taste off of how an artist is selling (i.e. how many other artists like their music)

Why would ANY sane person "jump ship" over sales figures? Are these people music lovers or chart lovers?

It truly is pathetic.

I'm her fan since the begining.

Let the others laugh if that truly makes them happy. They are the ones that say she is fading and yet can't stop talking about her.

I'm still very excited about the whole era, just imagine more videos, performances, tour.

These sales won't influence my enjoyment.

I sitll think ARTPOP is the best album of the year......at least!

On ATRL the chart lovers are the most

Well, if you don't like the music, it's going to be a long, long, dry spell. I remember how it felt when The Fame Monster came out and the wait for Born This Way was a mess. Because you don't really care about videos and performances etc. So, it's annoying.

But I don't think there's a reason to jump ship because of one album. Unless you only care about sales and success. Then you can gladly leave. Yes, I don't like this album overall but that doesn't mean that I don't care about her anymore or about the music she released in the past or that I'm not looking forward to what she's coming up with in the next years

The ONLY thing that makes me "sad" is that I just wish more people would see what I see in her and appreciate that.

It's like somebody doesn't like your best friend and you just have to accept it lol.

[HausOfEnzo]

Are people seriously jumping ship over first week sales??? Well, this is ATRL, i guess it's expectable. I will keep on enjoying this album because it's pretty amazing, catchy and everything i wanted it to be.
And to those jumping ship, we don't need you! It is better to have a couple of quality fans than a lot of success bandwagoners!

That's true. But I think we should be used to that feeling. I mean, people and the media etc. stopped kissing her ass a while ago.

It can be also hard to actually enjoy the music when most people around you are being negative about it and dragging it to the pits. So, if you want to focus on the music, stay away from ATRL etc.

Anyone who jumped ship because of ARTPOP's numbers is shameful, fickle, and wasn't a true fan anyway (as cliche as that sounds, it's true.)

If you're going to stop stanning for Gaga, find a better excuse than the fact that she's underperforming. If people stop supporting her because of a sales decline, then it's clear that they only stanned for the idea of Gaga being on top, not for her actual music.

What a shame.

My ARTPOPs should arrive home in 15 min

80% of ATRL is twats that only care about success though, it's nothing new unfortunately.

I just ignore them, especially when they're in here having meltdowns when the album is released because it's "so good" because I know eventually they'll be nowhere to be found.

This album is amazing I haven't the slightest idea why more people aren't buying it but lemme just say it's ALL I'm gifting/ giving away for Christmas!

We thought the same after BTW, but the same people were perching here until 24 hours ago

The quality of an album has nothing to do with how much it sells sadly.

But whatever. We should celebrate that this is finally out and most fans really love it

And she looked amazing at H&M

ARTPOP is predicted to open with 260k first week in the US.......less than Prism and Bangerz. Maybe not hitting No. 1.

Ah, predictions are always wrong though.

Yeezus was supposed to hit 500k, and only did about 200k.

20/20 was predicted 400k I think, and did over 1m.
