128k debut 191k total.
Two weeks at #1 in Australia and hasn't left the top three since it was released.
#1 in Poland since its release I believe and already Gold(her biggest market per capita).
Hasn't left the top four in Ireland since its release six weeks ago.
Already Gold in the UK, it debuted at #1 just shy of 70k and as of the last sales update it sold 14,000 at #2.
Um, no.

I was afraid so. Taylor is bigger than Katy now, but Katy has a much bigger foundation WW:
If the right material is available Katy could do close to TD #'s again.
She's on her RR/4 era commercially speaking.
Er No
Katy-14m album sales worldwide
almost 4m with her latest era
Taylor-35m album sales worldwide
almost 8m with her latest era
But I don't think the media/critics are overrating her, at least not vocally. The reason why a lot of people are praising her to high heavens is because, not a lot of them were familiar with the fact that she can actually sang & not just sing. People are sort of taken aback. (Ex. Oscars '15)
Majority of the pop girls can't actually sing or are mediocre, at best and Gaga is of course, grouped with the likes of Katy Perry, Rihanna etc., who are absolutely terrible as vocalists. So when those, who think off all the pop girls as untalented bimbos hear Gaga sing like this, they are genuinely shocked. And thus ensues the never ending praise.
Lol wtf. Her pronunciation isn't even remotely spot on in that video.

She gave a surprise (and amazing!) performance of famous French cabaret singer, Edith Paif’s La Vie En Rose. And luckily, one of the audience members shared a video of her singing her heart out in this lovely version of the song.
She then proceeds to sing the crap out of Edith Piaf's signature song, "La Vie en Rose." (Here's an abbreviated but better look at La Gaga.) You did Mama Piaf proud.
You see, I don't see any of the knowledgeable and cultured critics, criticizing her french. In fact, all of them are praising her for her absolutely spectacular rendition of this classic.
They know better than you and me. If they had found fault with her "french pronunciation", they would've most certainly brought it up. But they didn't, So, I think it's safe to say that Lady's french pronunciation is in fact, parfait!
Moreover, I was putting more emphasis on the greatness of her vocal ability rather then whether or not her french was spot on, in my original post.
And might I add that you sort of deflected from the main point of my post, which was again, about her spectacular vocals. I wonder why? lololol.
Gaga's French needs work even though one whitey'd publication thinks (they're wrong) that it's good and cute My French friend agreed!
Perhaps. I mean I'm not a french expert (and I'm sure neither is your "friend"), so I wouldn't know whether it's great or not, thus my reliance on the critics' judgement.
But regardless of that, in my posts regarding that performance, I wasn't even praising her french, I was strictly applauding her vocal prowess, so why are ya'll deflecting?

I read like 2 sentences from the bolded part and I skipped what you wrote. I actually liked the performance, it was soothing.
However, her Frensh isn't even remotely spot on. It's elementary level at best. That writer can't speak French and is just speaking out of his ass.
Listening to the radio, they just played blank space and then the presenters stanned for Taylor, saying what a sweet girl she was and how happy they are she's gotten so huge. QUEEN of the GP.
That is amazing
where is Queen of Pop Katy Perry??
My French friend agreed!
