These numbers aint even bad, I would understand if it was only predicted 160k-175k.
She will just sell steadily this time around, and by the end of the era she will have sold at least 1.5 million in the U.S Because she promotes her ass off, however I am quite surprised at the numbers myself I thought she would at least do 450k-500k.
I'd rather have a perfect album with a sub-par first week than an album with two listenable tracks at most there's more to life than a first-week debut, gorls. we knew BTW damaged her brand, we just didn't realize how much. ARTPOP is her chance to rebuild her image
Art pop is her failed attempt to rebuild herself.. You can see that by her sales...
Besides, she didn't try.. Did you see how she presents herself and her lyrics in art pop.. Still the same pretentiousness like born this way.. Production helped even less with making them good this time then with born this way.. It doesn't look good for her
It's really lower than we all expected before. 
#JusticeForARTPOP. 
What a huge drop in predictions
