Artpop did however not sell over 200k in the States in 2014. In July 2014 Nielsen Soundscan reported 129k for 2014. By July Artpop was already out of the charts or close to. Needless to say that she was nowhere near 400k.
I don't think Ariana's promo is that expensive outside the transportation fees. She's big enough not to have to pay to perform in TV slots and her hits were enough to pay for the transportation- crew etc and save her and her label some. Her live performances require no props and are generally a bore. I haven't seen her album get banners around the city or anywhere. Speaking of which, can anybody let me know how can I find San Francisco's highest grossing films list? There's this movie that basically has had every banner around town for months, so it'd better be huge.
Considering how Arih's main songwriter Savan Kotecha complains about the Spotify thingy on twitter all the time she probably doesn't make enough $$$ for the people that make her music either.

Depends, which song did she write? Cause Love Me Harder's sales are pathetic. Break Free too to some extent.
