The big kii is how big Prism's US promo is compared to ARTPOP's. Most of ARTPOP's promo has been in the UK. In the US, we have two Applause performances and two commercials. Katy had Roar and a colossal amount of promo.

ARTPOP's predictions look way better in contrast to Prism's sales.

So now Gaga and Katy are on the same league and both are album artists? I though Gaga low single sales were justified by her Album seller status... It's funny how things change

Little Monsters bragging about her selling 88k more than Katy is the real kii.

It's a PREDICTION.

If she EXACTLY sells MDNA numbers, the threads will be flooding

This stan war starting from the release of the first single to now is really tiring tbh. Each stan base runs into the other artist's thread to make funny remarks over their "failures".

Tell me how Katy doing 280k is a failure, or the foreseeable drop of Gaga to 350k is a failure. These numbers are DECENT considering the climate of the industry. Katy's stans need to get over the fact that Katy has yet to be able to develop a huge solid fanbase, and gaga's fans need to admit that she's not as big as before.

Let me go and listen to Jesus take the wheel.

I love both artists but to be honest I'm more scared for Gaga debuting with 370K than Katy debuting with 280K, before the latter will have the constant radio support that will turn all of her songs into hits and thus give longevity to her album sales, while Gaga might not get that chance.

Do you really want to compare her sales to real Album sellers like Taylor or Eminem? Little Monsters bragging about her selling 88k more than Katy is the real kii.

First this is not the official number. Second, why don't you compare Katy to those artist? Didn't Katykats always say Katy is the queen of pop, biggest pop star in the planet.

Seeing that, I know in the back of your mind, you consider Gaga a bigger artist then.

She's a good seller, but in no way, is she on Taylor's or Eminem's level of strong first week openings. Outside of BTW, which first week sales are always accompanied by an asterisk followed by a note, she has never produced HUGE first week sales and didn't get her first #1 album until BTW.

She may not be on Taylor or Eminem level of sales power but I'm convinced that she's an album seller if she was able to get a polarizing album like Born This Way to sell 7 million worldwide.

And HDD is wrong for the Amazon 99 cents shade.

Billboard and HDD bring the Amazon deal every damn time BTW sales are mentioned

Eminem is a rapper and Taylor Swift semi-markets herself as a country star. It makes more sense to compare Gaga to Katy (and Rihanna etc.) since they're actually her contemporaries and make pop music? Like use logic please.

[pink.hearts]

this is pretty disappointing for gaga =/

[Amaru]

So the biggest opening for a female this year.

SLAY

[RobynYoBank]

Who will sell more throughout the holiday season though?

Katy doing only 287k coming from a smah era while Gaga is doing 375k coming from a "flop" era.

But for an albums artist though I mean Katy is only a singles artists so this is kinda sad for someone who's had a hit with such strong longevity as you guys claim

Remember when the monsters were laughing at Katy for making her preorder bonus count for only the first 300k copies, because the ARTPOP foil was going to be in the first 500k copies?

Nnnnnnnnnnnnn

Yall better not get too far ahead with your comments. So many bold statements.

Ok Gaga I see you

It's funny when monsters (and Gaga) put Gaga on the level of Katy and Rihanna when it's convenient or when it works in their favor. Bye.

Gaga's selling power is overrated. And that's the bottom line.

I'm not a Katy Cat but i'm sure they are more concerned about her album sales since most of them predicted 300k for PRISM, if this prediction turns out to be real then Katy is closer to be the biggest popstar right now than Gaga, their millions difference in single sales is more impressive than Gaga selling 88k more albums first week

[Aden]

Another thing to note, HDD originally predicted 400k for both Prism and ARTPOP back in August. As we got closer to each release, Prism's prediction dropped to 300k and then to 275k and went back up to 290k. ARTPOP's prediction so far dropped to 375k (only 25k of a difference).

Don't get comfortable.

Another iconic thing about Gaga.

[RobynYoBank]

Whoops, thought I was in SYG.

Hopefully, she will top 400K.

[ALA]

I hope this is a lowball prediction but I'm expecting 350-500k. Just as long as she beats Eminem and the album goes platinum before the end of the year all is well.
