The only "standards" that she isn't meeting is your deluded ones sis, nothing else
Well she's certainly not on Adele/Taylor/Bey level which is where most of ATRL holds her to, whilst calling Katy/Rihanna singles artists and mocking ANTI's sales.
Anyway I'm happy for Gaga. Maybe she'll make a good album again next time with the profits from this record. Lord knows it was hard to make a decent album coming off ARTPOP's profits. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt again.
The ARTPOP --> Joanne drop is one you'd expect after a successful era and a strong lead single, not a flop era and flop lead single. That's why Joanne's first week is good.
Not to mention it's not about to flop out of the t10 like ARTPOP was in its 2nd week. It would have only had 2 weeks T10 if Black Friday deals didn't save ARTPOP's 3rd week.
I just wanna go on record and say that the Dave Aude remix of Your Love Is My Drug is the only decent thing Keshit has done. And really, the only reason it's good is because of Dave Aude's magic.
