Let's stop comparing Adele, honestly. Adele's music is on another planet. Her music is not your traditional pop. It's the kind of music women fap over because it's sappy love songs. Pop/Dance is hit or miss.
What more do you want? You see she's not pulling Adele-like numbers and you jump off the deep end? I mean, come on, it just doesn't make sense.
Look at the WW chart. Top ten and top five since the debut. If that's not consistency, IDK what is.
P.S. I'm not attacking you. Never have, never will. I am simply trying to understand where you are coming from because it does not make sense to me.

I think you take my posts about Gaga under-performing way too seriously.
Gaga is pulling impressive numbers depending on which market you're looking at dude. If you look at say Japan or Taiwan, she's exceeding any expectations anyone could have. Now, if you look at the US, you cannot deny her sales are
somewhat disappointing considering this is her Home country. Y'know?
It's kind of like how Kylie Minogue has lost favor with Australia. She used to be such a staple there, but now her singles do much worse than they used to be. This is an extreme example, but I'm hoping you actually get my point instead of misunderstanding what I'm really trying to say, causing me to get irritated with you again. And for you or someone else to REPORT ME AGAIN. I'm still quite livid about that.

Ok. What you're misunderstanding is, I said I wanted her to have
consistency.
For several weeks, after Born This Way was released, every time the numbers came in, she was getting sales, sure, but at a negative proportion (and at alarming rates).
Sure, big drops from 1st to 2nd week are normal, but an 80% drop? (I'm still fine with the numbers; don't misunderstand). My problem isn't the
number of copies sold but the
rate in which the copies are being sold. Make sense? I'd rather her have at/around the same amount of sales each week instead of one week being 24k and the next being 8k.
Does that help at all?
She's sold plenty; I just want her sales to be
consistent instead of
polarizing.
