Bwerde, since the Billboard charts include tour receipts, would you consider the US leg fo the BTWB a flop, or do you know any reason why it did a lot less good than in Europe, Asia and Oceania? I mean, she had 2 shows in most European countries while the countries are very close to eachother and a few stadiums here and there, in Oceania she slayed with the arena shows having about 60.000 attendance in multiple cities with an average ticket price of over 130 dollars compared to just a little bit below 100 in the US and in Asia, where she had the most successful shows of the tour with multiple stadium shows and arena shows selling very well with high ticket prices (~60 dollar average in Seoul, ~100 dollar average in Bangkok, 180 dollar average in Hong Kong and Singapore and 200+ dollar average in Japan and Taiwan). Why did it 'flop' so badly in the US?
Also, do you think that Applause will have longetivity? It didn't have its best first week (seeing as it's a Gaga release after all) but the promo campaign is going to be very good seeing as it's Gaga and Gaga is always either rehearsing, touring or promoting.
And finally, was Born This Way (the whole era: including the tour and WW sales) more sucessful than Teenage Dream in your opinion? (opinion because if we look at the receipts it clearly was more succesful
).
