Talent I guess

[alex_katycat]

It is already platinum and will be certified 2x platinum in 2 weeks according to this thread http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=988167. Plus, It had a huge 7 #1 weeks hit

[Cyanide]

Not sure, even with 1M free copies added and a 9 week #1 hit it's still about 600K away

[Mark Rih]

Because it was released in 2016 Q1 and not in 2013 Q4

We both know that 1 million doesn't count. Logic is not your strong point.

RIAA begs to differ. . .you vs RIAA and I go with what they say

Not enough talent

So nobody wins?

But frfr, Artpop literally ended Gaga's momentum and hype. Pure sales aside, Rihanna's image/hype hasnt really taken a hit and you can tell the botched rollout if anything is the cause for the sales hit, not a particular loss of interest unlike in Gaga's case where you can tell her gimmickry had run its course.

4 months in and ARTPOP had sold 1.5m+ WW, something ANTI has yet to achieve.

Unlike ARTPOP, ANTI isn't a front loaded mess

[Kisuke]

Cause art pop is a bigger Era.

[wesleywalrus]

I don't know where the Navy is getting "2 million in the US" from when it's worldwide sales aren't even at 850k yet.

OT: talent probably.

[collin]

Also, fourth album versus eighth album.
5 years vs. 10 years and we still aren't sure which one is actually bigger.

Wait WHAT?

The promotion began the second FourFiveSeconds was released in January 2015. EVERYTHING that happened that year was promotion, the scrapped 3 singles that she tried to make people forget about including the train wreck known as the ANTI Diary.

People were led to believe that these songs were going to be on her next album, like don't even try it.

OT: Talent won.

Why does it being frontloaded matter when:

Week 7 of ARTPOP release: 1.4m~ copies.
Week 7 of Anti release: 640k~ copies.

screaming. u tried it

FFS and those other 2 singles arent even on the album The AntiDiary was more of a samsung promotion than ANTi promotion, since the diary nor the commercial mentioned music ONCE

[Superpower]
