ARTPOP was lucky enough to be released on Fall 2013. In fact as soon as holiday season ended, it sold 0.
We'll see if LG5 will be lucky enough to sell 1/4 of ARTPOP.
Anti has more streaming points than sales.
That's not a "problem" although y'all like to see it as one.
This is how things are going to be in the industry now.
These little monsters are just Especially when it comes to the charts.
They just won't get that sales aren't strong like in 2013 anymore and that streaming is probably the most important thing rn. I mean, Sorry by JB didn't outsell Applause but according to your logic Applause was a bigger hit right?
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

If you wish to discuss other albums please go and make your own thread the topic at hand is about ARTPOP and Anti and why one sold over 3x the amount of the other
And again:
Gaga released ARTPOP in the BEST possible sales climate (pre-Black Friday/holidays).
Rihanna released Anti in the WORST possible sales climate (January).
