I think this thread might have been reported simply because this has turned into a stan war. I'm not sure why people are entertaining the resident troll in this thread, but thanks to that, this has turned into a mess.
At the same time, didn't Britney stans get the 4.99 amazon deal thread shut down too because it was negative press? Or the Beyonce thread? Yes, it is "the true tea" but I think maybe some monsters feel it isn't fair since other negative threads about other artists were promptly shut.
IMO I just think it's because this thread is messy now.
But I think this stan war needs to cease. Rihanna and Katy fans can't talk because they have several hits singles yet have a hard time going 2x Platinum. And while GaGa is outselling them in just a matter of weeks, Rihanna and Katy have been holding on the charts steady for months now - in Katy's case, almost a year. In a few weeks, GaGa could be selling the same amount as Katy in the same week (if her album doesn't stabilize over 25k). So, I don't even get the argument here. Let's stick to the topic at hand.
Teenage Dream has sold 192,000 copies in its first week
Just sayin'....
I'd still like to see the point you're trying to make. If Katy did soo bad, then why hasn't Gaga passed her yet? WW or US? Katy is still selling around 15K - 20K a week, which is where Gaga seems to be stalling towards, so she most likely won't catch her anytime soon.
I just don't understand why Gaga stans are so insecure and aggressive when arguably their fave is doing it best right now. Like, why entertain the trolls and make yourself look pressed?
Then Britney should be selling 25 million with each album? It's just that you can't compare a new artist with somebody who's been in the media for 13 years, many things have changed through all these years.
Did I say I expect her to sell 25 million albums? No. But if the music were interesting to the general public, "flopping" would not be a problem. Two artists' current albums can logically be compared without it being unfair.

U know why. because the stans of the other girls never accept the fact that GaGa is winning the game now. Want to argue then we have time to serve. If I was a Rih or Katy or a Britney stan, I would not argue because I know so well my girl is not doing any better than the queen, then better shut up. We are here because we have all the best numbers.
