Holy, Madonna's discog is such fulfilling pop music. The fat, failed, fad frog with chubby cheeks, double chin, garlic bread breasts & mole teeth won't ever reach such legendary status.

You're not getting it. The whole point of ARTPOP was to bring art - or, perhaps more specifically, the idea of art - into the mainstream. Not only was she bringing awareness to a collection of famous works ( The Birth of Venus, Mona Lisa, and The Persistence of Memory, to name a few), but she was also trying to bring the very notion of why people create art in the first place into minds of your everyday individual. Her reasoning for it, in this particular case, was to release anger, to vent her rage in a constructive way, and to regain her figurative sanity. But she encouraged fans and non fans alike to find their own reasons to be creative, and to channel that creativity into their art. Many of you seem to think all she did was wear a few outfits with pretty paintings on it, and while on the surface it may seem so, there really is much more to it than just a nice look. Again, in doing these things she was attempting to bring the world of art into the mainstream and pop culture. (Thus "the reverse Warholian experience," as Warhol and other pop artists' goal was to do the exact opposite - to bring pop culture into the sphere of art - and thus the title ARTPOP, which is the reverse of pop art.) Could she have been a bit more clear and effective with her delivery of this theme of the album, perhaps incorporating some of these ideas into more of the songs themselves rather than primarily in the imagery surrounding the album? Yes of course - even I won't deny that. But if you actually do some digging, or really let the album and it's themes simmer inside you for a bit, it will make sense.
But that's not what you asked. Personally, I find myself very open to most art forms - however, I have a special place in my heart for surrealism in general (Dalí especially  ) and many of the works from the Renaissance period, along with various works of modern/contemporary art. I wouldn't say "she turned me on" to any of these, more so that she pointed them out to me. I was the one that formed the affinity - she just helped me to see the value in them in the first place. And contrary to what many of you are implying, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

so her boost is just behind Bruno and BEP, right?

Rococo is nice, but it always reminds me of something you'd find in some rich person's house just because it looks pretty.  There's nothing wrong with that, and the style does have it's standout pieces, but it's definitely not my favorite. Kind of saddens me that it came almost directly after the quality era that is Renaissance.

-- 23 KATY PERRY
PRISM
CAPITOL 12,197 --
+ ~5000 copies in the actual Super Bowl week
So Katy is behind The Who, BEP and Bruno
Katy's Post-Super Bowl sales are about the same as Madonna, but Madonna sold 16k during the Super Bowl whereas Prism sold like ~5k in the Super Bowl week, so Madonna wins too

It's so weird how dumb Iggy Azalea is. She doesn't really come off like a moron when she speaks.
A classy accent can really do wonders to hide your stupidity, I guess. Anyway, in other news, Iggy is ugly.

She does actually. As a fellow Australian I can tell she tries to 'Americanize' her talking voice.
Probably to make her "rap accent" more valid. The way she pronounces her "R's" when she talks
is like really absurd for an Aussie from a ******, outback no one in it town.
The stupid dumb bitch.
