Yeezus kinda underperformed harder than ARTPOP and lets not even talk about his tour. This strategy is not suited for everyone, in fact, I think it only suits to the Carter family.
You're right about Kanye. His music wasn't all over pop radio, tho. And his album wasn't a critical failure. So he wins against Lady GigaPet.
XO is just beyond amazing. It gets better every listen.
In the darkest night, oh
I search through the crowd
Your face is all that I see
I give you everything
Baby love me lights out
I love you like XO
You love me like XO
You kill me boy XO
You love me like XO
It's also funny that the former Gaga stans who now shade Gaga the most have lyrics from her most obnoxious songs (songs that got her in this situation in the first place) in their user names + had those embarrassing & cringe worthy "Tea" lyrics in their sigs. No offense, luv for all, but just sayin.
Beyonce was never local. Some of her songs were, but she never was. It was just something created by the Army to feel better about the fact that a black woman outsold Britney for 10 years straight (and will continue doing so for the 11th year in 2014).

You ain't lying. I don't see how anyone who was excited about I Wanna Be An Outcast With U and Tea could be disappointed with the final product.
