Her lead single is really fighting for its life to crash that Top 70...

What a comeback, oh, oh.

has anyone bookmarked Kworb's posts in the older thread about BERNARD stalling behind Unapolo in total sales ?

I always put "ifs" to protect myself. Like "if XO doesn't do anything..." etc.

And it's still looking like a close race.

I mean their eras during the Voice. Xtina's albums always get the lowest boost. How does Shaki fare?

Not sure what your point is. The sales are still strong, just like I said, regardless of the circumstances.

Frontloaded & local, but yeah, they are "strong".

Too bad, the album will be forgotten in a year (especially if she want to release another, more pop one).

I'm kind of glad the ARTPOP app went completely unnoticed by the media.

I'm pretty sure Katy Perry has slayed Rihanna on every level. Katy can have albums and singles & hit on her own without Eminem. I think What Now spent 8 weeks on the Hot 100. Rihrat can fall into a morgue tbh

I really hope 2014 provides us with some new talent. Too many of the faves have real issues. It's like making fun of cripples. So wrong.

How am I supposed to go in on someone who just 13 years ago was shrieking and jumping on broken glass in her mother's kitchen. How?

I mean, I'm actually someone who likes the Glitter soundtrack. Really love Never Too Far Away.

But the lamps go in on my sane fave, and it's just wrong to attack their fragile lamb.

Same for Brit & GaGa. Cripples.

Please try to find sane faves, it's more fun!

Ugh. Beyonce was right when she said:
All the **** I do is boring
All these record labels boring

It seems that the top of success in music has been reduced to "in the moment" single releases, iTunes & airplay. Ya'll want to live in a world where an artist releases a single 2 months ahead of the album, slaves away on every show imaginable, endorses every product thrown their way, visits every radio station, creates some faux controversy (have a breakdown, get your ass whooped, meditate naked in the forest...), comes outside in ridiculous outfits, has their label pay for a Clear Channel programming deal to ensure radio spins, and settles for a 150-280k opening week.

And if they're really crafty, they even discount their album for $0.99 to sell 1 million copies. But is it all worth it. Why? Because they have a #1 single that sells 3-4 million copies for $0.69 to $1.29?

They don't make any impact, they don't wow onstage, they don't shake things up...but they're famous and get invited to the VMAs! They do what gets them by, and then they run back in the studio to do it all over again 4th quarter next year. Our pop generation!

You want to talk about a comeback? Drop the singles talk and OPEN your eyes!

Katy is more successful than Rihanna. Katy's first arena tour grossed more than Rihanna's first two, she has 8 #1 singles (upcoming 9) with just 15 singles, while Rihanna needed 40 to get 10 (lead). TD slayed every single Rih era and PRISM went plat in the US in just over 2.5 months and it look Unapologetic something like 8 months to do that.

Who cares? She will have outsold plenty of other albums by then. And what she has already accomplished with this album is great.
