TF/TFM sold 14 million albums worldwide compared to her 5 million total of BTW (that's a drop of nearly 70% in sales just from one era to the next)...

Monroe, come on now. Before BTW dropped you were saying

An 8 million selling debut record globally, and a #1 one song that stayed at the helm for 5 weeks was pretty much equal to what Gaga did with her Fame record with both JD and PF prior to her re-release. Then if you want to compare TFM you could compare that with her second proper album J. Lo which also sold comparably well (another 8 million). That would bring her sales up to the same as Gaga's 16 million...

You compared two albums/eras to two albums, fair. Now you're comparing the combined total of two albums/eras against one to make the drop-off look bigger than it is.

Gaga is probably looking at around 7-8 million when all is done perhaps? Outside possibilities of 9 million but not 10 million IMO.

So, she's basically looking at a minimal (if any) drop off from what her first two eras sold on their own?
I do agree with everything else you wrote, there's no reason to be misleading when you've made other good points.
in belgium wasn't the edge of glory abig hit, woch i don't understand 
And if she thought it was, she's even more disconnected from reality than I thought. Poor thing.
