Even if Rihanna got an extra day, she still wouldn't have debuted at #1. She just got her first #1 album last year, so a Rihanna stan really shouldnt' be making fun of first week sales. I won't bother bringing up the discounts that Rated R received during it's first week. ARTPOP would have went #1 regardless.

Nope.

This thread is giving me life. Not monsters coming for Britney when they can no longer drag Katy.

I think it's more sad there are so much people in here bashing said artists. The attitude people have here against other artists makes being here so unenjoyable. It's just sales. If you don't like Gaga, stop going on about her and how bad she's become. Same goes for if you don't like any of the other artists mentioned in this thread.

Just, let it go and let it be. It should be about what you enjoy in an artist, and who cares how they perform. Does the success of an artist really haze your love for them?

It's rude and mean spirited to be trashing all these other artists. For what reason other than not liking them? Do you care more about expressing your dislike for one artist than expressing your love for another?

Just about everybody or at least everybody has now realized they were dead wrong and forgot how much of a force Katy was but for the same time for our fan base we've seen nothing but historic and monumental success from her. So naturally that is what we as a fan base will continue to expect. I think the monsters have hushed up now because there really isn't anything to say to you guys. Gaga has probably peaked and she is not this high and mighty star anymore. She is just a crazy talented, smart and rich and successful pop star and we are now learning to accept that. I personally don't get what most of these people gain from dragging pop stars, maybe its a low self-esteem kind of a thing but its immature and childish. Both Katy and Gaga are HUGE stars and I just don't get why the stans can't get along.

THAT IS NOT HOW IT HAPPENED.

The ARMY popped off at the mouth the second the numbers were released for whatever reason

They should pick on someone they can actually win over, this is getting embarrassing

Anyone have some local Australian X-factor rejects that the monsters can drag instead? That's more on their level atm. 260k

[heartbeats]

retaliating to other artist for your fav's underperformance still won't change these sales so

[Donquizote]

With all the promos she did, she only managed to shift 259 K?

I agree. It's really quite sad that people feel entitled to drag because a select few Monsters drag them.

I mean, you're just stooping to their level.

I guess Gaga is a huge flop and is over even though she surpassed all her contemporaries once again earning 80 million this year on Forbes. I don't think she is too bothered by these sales.

It's impossible to know how much she earns--unless she told you. But I presume you're getting that figure from Forbes, which basically guesses.

She is certainly bothered by sales that could mean the end of her major-label career. 150k on 110k pre-orders? For a star of her caliber? That's disastrous. Interscope won't think twice about dumping her once her contact is up. She's an expensive liability whose promo budget is dragging the label into insolvency. Interscope faced huge, expensive returns from retailers with BTW, and, frankly, that's what's gonna happen once ARTPOP's second-week figures are published.

Lady Gaga #2 on Forbes. Again on the list.

Look at these fan-bases here trying to drag when their faves can't even crack the top 20.

SAD

YES, you betta tell the Army! They've been a bit cranky ever since Perfume was released on iTunes

[LEMONADE]

I can't at the Army bring up Britney being in the game for 15 years like that's an excuse for her relevancy drop when you got women like P!NK & Beyonce who are still working it and doing amazing numbers that have been in the game just as long as Britney, I mean tour #'s alone will tell you something.

So stop acting like because Britney has been in the game and etc. that she has that excuse because she doesn't. People arn't here for her miming and stiff dancing anymore with a blank personality on her face.

Rihanna has flops because she just releases songs and leaves them to do their thing alone without any promo so they're obviously never going to be massive hits. Isn't it funny how every Rihanna lead single effortlessly smashes and becomes a massive hit? Trying to drag Rihanna for flop singles is just too much.

Gaga cares 10000x more about every aspect of her career and yet she still ends up doing worse.

That excuse just show how unserious ur fave is. So ur fav decides to smoke weed and **** all day rather than to promote her she **** and she is more impressive than someone dedicated to her work? A flop is a flop no matter how u try to make it look

It sold 259,683 tho. You're adding on an extra 317 copies (around what Gaga will sell second week)

hihi

Booking this just in case.

[BabyCantYouSee]

Well it's obvious as to why Britney would have higher first week sales. She has a bigger fan base, always has. Gaga just had temporary fans who like pop music, those always fade away after a while.

[Comedor]

Britney stans have no place in this thread, their fave is predicted to flop harder than Magikarp.
