ARTPOP, Gaga's
Teenage Dream era that never happened.
"Applause" debuted at #1 and spent 10 weeks there, blocking "Roar." "Do What U Want" spent a record-breaking 20 weeks at the top, blocking "Dark Horse." "G.U.Y." also #1. And then "Gypsy" and "Sexxx Dreams" which we don't know were released because
Billboard sabotaged them so hard.
All of this led to
ARTPOP selling 70 million copies, becoming the bestselling album of all time.
