WHAT is happening with pop music?!
Gaga is flopping with an album.
Katy is flopping with a single.
Britney is going to flop with everything.
Adele, Rih and Bey best slay 2014.

Well in Britney's defense, she has moved a damn finger to promote anything but her residency

Gaga, Katy, and Britney though... does anything else need to be said?

Adele, Beyonce, and Rihanna are loved by the public (Adele and Beyonce for everything and Rihanna for those smash hits - there's a little shade to Rih there but I'm just being honest).

I'd agree that Adele is loved by the public but Beyoncé, not so much, see her past era.

Let me join. My fave sold 192k in his 1st week, 178k in 2nd week and 110k in 3rd week.

Finally some justice in the pop world.

9. Kelly Clarkson (RCA) 40-45k

She's slaying your fav's with a Christmas album before Christmas.

Beyonce is still loved very much. It's just that 4 was not everyone's cup of tea.

And how is it surprising it is slaying in November right before Christmas? People are getting ready for the holidays.

[Rico Shameless v2]

Damn, I thought Gaga could do at least 70k with SNL behind it.

This album been selling 40k+ for almost a month. Christmas albums usally slay During Christmas, not way before. Best case they either drop at christmas or drop before, get okay first week sales, drop in sales and climb again when Christmas hits the door.

So yes, she's slaying before Christmas

*Esp' considering Kelly -other than Breakaway- never been big numbers album seller*

[Valera]

I hope Kelly will start pulling close-to-Michael-Buble-kind-of numbers in December.

And Gaga What the hell? It didn't open with much, but this fall is even worse. I don't think it will reach platinum but let's see.

[FAN]

50k? Gaga, ha real pop music emergency

This is actually very incorrect and delusional Many artists release Christmas albums months before Christmas No one goes and buys Christmas
music ON Christmas. Just bye.

3. Now 48 (UMe) 65-70k

slay.

[DripDrip]

The fact that Kelly is doing 5k less then her on an album that's been out for a bit now

People just really didn't like Artpop, fans and critics alike.

[DevonDreams]

Gaga is dropping way too quick

[Codex]

Interesting chart facts:

The average second-week drop for a No. 1-debuting album in 2013 is 69%. The biggest falls of all time are:

4/21/2012 – Madonna – MDNA – 86.70% – From 359,000 to 48,000 at No. 8
6/18/2011 – Lady Gaga – Born This Way – 84.28% – From 1.11 million to 174,000 at No. 1
12/3/2011 – Mac Miller – Blue Slide Park – 82.54% – From 144,000 to 25,000 at No. 24
7/13/2013 – Kanye West – Yeezus – 80.27% – From 327,000 to 65,000 at No. 3
11/26/2013 - Lady Gaga - ARTPOP - will be around 79.5%
12/16/2006 – Jay-Z – Kingdom Come – 79.42% – From 680,000 to 140,000 at No. 6

The fact that Born This Way sold more in its second week (despite having an all time high drop) than ARTPOP did in its entire first week (not counting pre-orders)

[KanYe!]

Mac Miller shouldn't be there. He released his album independently so it's not like his second week was bad his first week was just that great. It was expected.

Oh.
She can't sell singles, and now she can't sell album neither.

Umm...
