Gee. I wonder which album was bigger.

So chartrun makes an album bigger? C2C was selling more in physical sales in December, over a year after its release, than ANTi in it's first month. You can't even say anyone's checking for the album because they aren't, it's clear that it's charting so high solely because of Work, another hit that Rih wouldn't have gotten without a trendy feature seeing as her last solo hit was in 2012.

It's weird to compare the performance of a 2013 album to a 2016 album, honestly.

and a Q1 release vs a Q4 release

That's why it will be funny when LG5 FAILS to outslell C2C

They're about to see that later this year

Why keep comparing chart runs of albums when you can compare actual sales. Especially when you're comparing a chart run of an album during a pure sales chart versus an album with a TEA+SEA chart.

The Pinkprint had a bigger chart run than Loud, so are you suggesting it's a bigger album?

Her talent is something else. The movie is also great.

Artpop pure sales chart week #6: #18

Gaga loses no matter how you spin it

Chart runs comparison is much more fair than album sales comparison when the albums were not released the same year

Pure Heroine chart run:

Stop acting like you can see the future, dumbass. You probably didn't think Rihanna would STRUGGLE to outsell Britney Jean with a #1 hit, so how can you be so sure about how Gaga will do with an album we haven't even heard yet? So ****ing whack. The reality is that RIGHT NOW IN THE PRESENT, Rih can't outsell a jazz covers album's pure sales even with streaming added like you guys like to do. No matter what you say about Gaga, Frih is still flopping harder than she ever could rn.

Will Work outsell Applause in pure sales?

No, not at all. An album going #1 for two weeks in July with 50K is not better than an album being #2 for two weeks in December with 250K.

This is why you compare actual numbers.

No matter how you spin it unless you're taking actual receipts into account

There isn't a clear consensus here like there is with artpop vs anti

[Chemist]

ANTi is def a bigger era than Artpop you have to be delusional if you think otherwise

ANTi wins in single success and tour success

Artpop wins in albums sales (but not album success)

Billboard 200 All-Time Albums
189. Pure Heroine
N/A. Loud

There's a very clear census on the better chart run.

Artpop on itunes after 6 weeks: #40
Anti on itunes after 6 weeks: #7

ARTPOP - with 0 hits according to you - 2M WW
ANTi - with 3 hits according to you (only one of which could outsell Gaga's flop lead single) - ~600K WW

[TheEdgeOfGaga]

Why is ARTPOP v ANTI a thing now?
