That's where the money is made, not singles.
So even if Judas has peaked(which it probably hasn't actually), it will still have done its job in helping to sell the album. Those 15 million views on YouTube is a RESULT.

She still needs smash singles. Let's be honest, probably more than 50% of TFM (album) sales were because of Bad Romance. Without smash hits, the album sales won't be the same. But, on the other hand, the overall quality is a huge factor too, just like for Adele IMO.
