Hm, overall, "ARTPOP" was definitely the bigger flop between the two.

Ah, I disagree, "WARRIOR" is definitely the bigger flop between them.

"Timber" isn't even from Warrior (nor is Ke$ha the lead artist on that song), and "Applause" will easily match "Die Young"'s sales when it's all said and done.

But "BEYONCÉ" is the biggest pop release of the year.

Die Young: 3,824,000
C'Mon: 304,000
Gaga: 3
Ke$ha: 0

 Not Vin being clocked with facts twice on one page.
People saying the "drop" makes ARTPOP the bigger flop instead of, you know, actual sales. Ke$ha has never sold enough albums first week to even have a drop so what does that make her as an artist?

Maybe not in the US, where it sold around 1.3 - 1.4M, but definitely WW where it barely passed 3M.
ARTPOP is already well over 1M worldwide and it won't need 4 years to top 3M.
And you should know there is a world outside the US so not everything limits itself to the US market...
Worldwide sales are way more important and are the ones that reflect the commercial appeal of an album and Animal was nothing more than a local mess.

You let me know when ARTPOP sells 3 million WW. Until then, you can take a seat.
Tik Tok alone ***** ALL OVER ArtFAIL.

I wouldn't start talking **** so soon when ARTPOP passed the million mark in four weeks. Even if it doesn't hit 3 million, you're comparing it to Ke$ha's debut - I can see why you wouldn't want to compare it to Ke$ha's current album - from 4 years ago which produced one of the biggest singles of all time.

I wasn't the one the brought up Animal.
I have already said Warrior was the bigger flop.

Only 1. DOPE is a fluke...
Anyway, ARTPOP is the biggest flop. It dropped hardly than Warrior (If we compared it from their past eras) Die Young is more successful than Applause. Other releases on both albums are messes.

ARTPOP, Ke$ha is just not a big artist. Gaga was supposed to sell A LOT more. Die Young was a big hit

People saying gaga fell from 1.1 million are always the ones who'll bring up the 99cent deal
she can't win either way
Warrior is obviously the bigger flop, people voting ARTPOP are hilarious

Most of this poll is ridiculous, if this poll was ARTPOP Vs. Lotus people would still vote ARTPOP because Lotus was expected to flop and the last album didn't sell 1.1 million before. Warrior was less commercially successful on every measurement compared to Warrior, period. The expectations surrounding the albums are irrelevant. If this was which was the biggest disappointment, that would be a different discussion. I love them both, but that's just the truth.

Warrior. ARTPOP didn't flop, it under-performed compared to her previous eras. A success, nonetheless.

The PUNCH.
It's easy though.
ARTPOP first week: 500k+
Warrior in 2 years: less than 500k

Warrior was a bigger flop.
That being said, I loved Warrior. One of the best albums of 2012.

That's not quite true. "Flop" is a relative term and in order to gauge whether something flopped you have to look at the initial expectations and prior numbers. If a Keri Hilson cover band sold 50k first week I definitely wouldn't call that a flop because no one would have dreamed of it selling that much.
It's why people are calling ARTPOP a flop, because expectations for the album were much higher and her previous sales numbers were much higher.
That said the answer is still obviously Warrior.
