So? It's basically the same as a total admissions chart.

Ticket price inflation is measuring an increase in the $$$, not the amount of tickets sold. We don't have data for how much albums grossed so we can't make that comparison.

It would be like adjusting films for market share, and assuming that the #1 film in 2014 should have an equal market share to the #1 film in, say, 1952 when literally 2/3 of the States would go to the movies every weekend, and saying that "in 1952 Avatar would have actually had 250 million people watching it". It makes no sense, whereas ticket prices are at least something measurable.

+ She can't sell anything anymore. Like, she clearly lost.

Wasn't the point of using this stupid graph to compare all the sale equally? Even with this extremely flawed formula she still won

How she won?

Gaga's debut: 40M
Deadney's: 25M

TFM is the biggest pop girl era of all time. Who's threading it

You don't adjust the numbers of the tickets but their price

Artpop was extremely embarrassing also, it's just surprising that a gp-beloved artist like Rihanna is dying out so anticlimatically like this.

If Rihanna was promoting everywhere like Gaga was in the ARTPOP era and was still flopping (even though she only has one flop this era), then maybe I'd agree with you. Gaga failed because she couldn't live up to the hype that she built for herself. Rihanna hasn't made that mistake. She's doing what Gaga SHOULD have done when it mattered, which is keep her mouth shut until she's ready.

The last time Britney sold anything she still kinda had a brain.

Basically, if we knew how much MONEY albums made, an equivalent comparison to ajdusted film grosses would be to inflate for the changed price of albums. But we don't, so we can't.

No one inflates for admissions, they inflate for the money those admissions made.

We can't inflate for albums sold, we can only inflate for the money albums made, and unfortunately the music industry is not as transparent as the film industry.

Madonna actually outsold her this decade+millenium!

Ew @that new Demi track sounding like some 2008 Robotny reject.

[ultraviolento]

Just watched that Nina Simone doc on Netflix this afternoon and wtf, her husband blatantly admitting he had beaten the **** out of her several times and acting like there's nothing wrong. They edited it to seem like she actually liked it.

Didn't like it, hopefully that other movie will be better but Zoe is a ****** actress so w/e.

Good quality music, a toned dancefloor-ready body and a normally functioning brain.
You kind of need them to avoid being paid dust.
