Sort of. He wasn't nearly as famous then.

His songs have weird chart-runs, but no matter how frontloaded they appear to be, his songs always rebound. Baby ended up climbing back into the Top 10, Mistletoe nearly did & even his other frontloaded album track countdown singles from MW2.0 lingered on the Top 200/Pop 200 charts.

The power of teenage fandom.

So statistically, Gotye is currently 68.57% of WAY right now. Getting closer to 70%!

65.5% actually. WAY has another version charting.

Who would honestly get excited for an album with just 2 new tracks (since we've had Part of Me for almost 2 months now)? I don't think they care about a boost in sales. They want more singles success mainly. Album sales are an added bonus.

I bet they will release all 3 new songs as singles - DU for summer & WA for fall.

For an album with 6 #1 hits, you'd think she'd be shipping damn near 20 million in total sales from the original by now. Yet somehow Capitol believes a re-release is going to make any sort of impact. A mess.

If they wanted to do a re-release, I think they should have done a "TFM" style one.

She shouldn't have re-released TD. This era feels like a neverending story.

I bet that's just what they want it to be, though.

Well, to the main version... That's still a big deal.

And the album version is charting too, so that also counts. Oh well. Things will be different by the time SNL comes around, I'm sure!

By then, fun. may have peaked if they keep going at the rate they've been going. Cause they'd otherwise be past 200 million AI. Which that would make it the largest accumulation since "Irreplaceable" right?

The candy theme is so overdone. The rerelease should've been done back in November. ToTGA should've never happened.

PoM would've sounded more fresh, since PoM sounds like a bland mix of ToTGA & RYG.

Since "No One" I think.

I hope Gotye gets his #1 sooner or later.

The rerelease will also help vault it past Born This Way in overall US sales, I think. Not that that's really what they're going for, but that'd be a side effect. (They really aren't that far apart...)

Me too!

It'd be a shame for it to be blocked here when it's topping all over the place. Even in places where ASETP dominated.

Retrospectively that's kinda sad because Born This Way is kinda an awful album and had awful single support. s

[MusicTalker]

I prefer the Born This Way album over Teenage Dream.

And awful single choices.

BTW also had 440K from 99 cents sales, so it's not really fair to compare them. Not really her fault, it's Amazon's, but yeah.

I love both, BTD and TD, since they are both quite different, but also great Pop.

So, maybe we could prevent a stan fight right her?! :-)

You shouldn't have said that.

They are both great. I mean, if Born This Way would have been condensed to the length of TD the filler would have been cut.

Well, fans can agree that the momentum may have slowed down due to the discount. It isn't really flamebait, it's just something that happened.
