I was gonna do this, but it'd take me about 2 hours to listen to The Fame with all the bonus tracks I put on it.

So I just have ARTPOP on repeat for now. Still can't decide if this or TFM is better, they're both equally epic.

Hmm, i think in some territories, Artpop is released late physically. Like in my country, the physical album will be released today. That should help right?

This era is just tragic commercially

The AMA's are going to be huge I hope she can use it to her advantage

MTE. And if she's just going to promote the album worldwide like in Japan, Australia and Europe this album will sell and have longevity like what happened on DWUW it was featured on DWTS in France and it jumped inside Top 30 and Artpop jumped few spots. Even small promo will do wonders for her.

The production, the "Mary Jane Holland" chants, the bridge..one of the best songs on Artpop

oh wow, just realized I won't see the AMA performance live 'cause I'll be at a Drake concert. Hope it goes well!

Haters are dragging Gaga left and right with no mercy. Bitch better rise back to the top, and have a reason to fight back, cause for now she's making it really difficult!

Three top ten hits.
Highest debut WW for a female.

Monsters are never happy. She didn't sell 4,000,000 copies in the first era? TRAGIC.

People continue to ignore she has done LITTLE promo. She should see a big increase in Japan when she goes there. This album'll go platinum there.

You don't get dragged left and right unless you're at the top. Don't you think it's interesting that people rather post dozens of articles about Gaga's "flop" album than the successes of the other girls? People only ever wanna talk about Gaga.

You and other fans should just grow a pair and stop caring about what other stans say. Gaga stays selling better than their faves.

1. Aura, demo
2. Venus
3. G.U.Y.
4. Sex Dreams, live version
5. ARTPOP, live version
6. Jewels and Drugs, live version
7. Do What U Want
8. Mary Jane Holland
9. Gypsy
10. Applause

slays the **** out of TFM

The album's going to sell 1.5 to 2.3 million WW in the end, bookmark me

I love how some of y'all are willingly making fools out of yourselves. You said the same thing when Applause.

The most desperate fantasy I've ever read You can all blame Easter as much as you want, but it wouldn't have changed much. And even if all the circumstances in your post had magically worked out to make it #1 for a week, it still would've been a flop when it tumbled down the charts as usual the next week.

There is literally no point debating this, Judas was dead on arrival. It's abrasive and ugly. I can't @ y'all dragging the Applause lyrics for being too weird for radio, yet think "fame hooker prostitute wench vomits her mind... wear ear condom next time" sounds like a SMASH

The problem with your theory is that you blame the leak for weak radio support, when that clearly didn't affect Applause in the end. Radios did not want to touch Judas with a ten foot pole.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk but these types of delusions are contributing to Stefani's downfall. She reads what her fans want and thinks it's what the public wants/what will be successful. If fans had their way, Aura would've probably been a single The same fans who think Scheiße would've done better than Poker Face probably--again, the Applause lyrics are too weird for radios, but fake German gibberish isn't?

You wouldn't be saying any of this had the song smashed. Your opinion is obviously dictated by success, and that's sad.

DWUW is one of her best singles and the only thing that could save the wreckage of an era, in fact DWUW her power can make any song on ARTPOP succesfull after it smashes WW.

How pathetic. If you think this era is a wreck you should just leave and stop stanning.

HMMM am not liking these light red updates DWUW has been regularly getting over the past few days. Pretty much everyone who has music out right is performing at the AMA's so I hope Gaga will manage to be one of the acts who gets one of the biggest boosts of the night.

It's increasing even though it's getting red updates. No video, no lyric video and it's remaining stable. At least it's not falling after a music video.

I agree

[Opacho]

Literally the only thing to be upset about are the DWUW performances because they've been kind of bad. Everything else has been ON point. The photoshoots have been amazing. The videos have been amazing (keep lying to yourself if you don't like the Applause video). Gaga has been fun and "less pretentious". The music is the EXACT TYPE of music you all cried for.

It's sad to see how many grown men and women (or teenage boys and girls) are so weak minded that something as superficial as a metacritic score completely changes their mind about something. Maybe once you mature and grow up you'll start thinking for yourselves.

This will be her lowest selling album if she doesn't start promoting in the way she promoted BTW. But that doesn't mean anything about the music. Contrary to popular belief, sales =/= quality.

Het best album

[Cain]

Y'all read too much into the 'the GP hates anything that's different, ooh, wierd, ooh that's scary'.
Bad Romance was weird as f**k, whether y'all like to deny it or not, it has an industrial sound and the 'Rah Rah Ah Ah Ah Roma Romo Mah' isn't anything different than the blabbering in Scheisse (which happens to be a straight favorite in my environment).
If it wasn't for weird Gaga wouldn't be here, the only songs I can't see being singles are Aura and Donatella, as much as I love them, they just don't have the wider appeal.

Hopefully the interview helped push second week sales above Lotus' second week at least
