But it's ATRL, everyone is petty, and I guess dragging her is "revenge" for all the times she slayed your favorites from 2008 to 2012.

I see no lies.

Do you want people to change they minds after reading this thread? Is that gonna help you sleep better at night.

Let it go?

Stans are so fickle

Before ARTPOP came out I was growing less and less interested in her. It had been this way since about mid-2012. After I went to the artRave, which I bought tickets for after ARTPOP came out and "flopped", I realized I just didn't like her as much as I used to.

So no, I'm not fickle. I've just had a lot of life changes in the last year and a half and some things became more important to me.

If I really cared about charts and stats that much, I'd stan for Rihanna.

Even the media does it. It's not exclusive to ATRL.

going from 16m -> 7m -> 1.7m is kinda not an exaggeration though?

I genuinely don't think anything is getting exaggerated

Read the OP. I never said she didn't decline.

Just imagine how hard it was for these pressed people to sleep at night during Gaga's slayage bbased on how rabid they are right now.

Because everybody on this site is a flamboyant drama queen.

It's not about how many copies ARTPOP sold. The question is did it sell enough to be profitable for the label when you take marketing, promotion and other expenses into consideration? ARTPOP, even though on paper sold more than Bionic, probably was a loss or only broke even. She spent so much money just on the G.U.Y. video.

What promotion? It's not like she went all over the world and promote it in every single country. She payed the "G.U.Y." video with her money so I don't think she cares that much; it's was her concept and she went with it.

This happens to every a-list act once they flop or underperform (see 4, Glitter, Erotica, etc.) and especially when it's a continuous slide (see Xtina, Janet, etc. in recent years).

Massive Peak. Massive Downfall. Simple as that.

They were waiting for her to fall.

When Rihanna gets her first non-platinum album in the US or when Katy fails to get a #1 on her next album, ATRL will do the same.

This.

Just ignore the hate. I still hear her songs at the clubs and (sometimes ) on the radio and ARTPOP is my favorite album by her, so what some **** on the internet think about it, it's irrelevant to me
