This is saying that people doubted Gaga would do 350k first week, but the current pre-order numbers are promising that it may do just that, or more.

Her team is trying to stretch this era out by preventing front loaded numbers and sustaining numbers throughout the era, which BTW didn't really do in the U.S. Hope the promo campaign works!

And now OF COURSE SHE IS GOING TO SELL 300K BECAUSE APPLAUSE IS NOT A BIG HIT.

The excuses are endless.

This tbh.

The HIGH STANDARD that was created by her fans shading every other artists for their sales and calling them singles artists...?

People taking this **** so seriously is hilarious.

for Gags, people buying the record that she truly wanted to make, not the one everyone else wanted her to make.

So now gaga is NOT an album artist nor a singles artist. Then what the hell is she?

A flop?

[sadnews]

lable, billboard, HDD all expect 400~500k before release.
so 300~350k is not good.

[Mezik]

If she does anything less than 500K with that discount, it'll be kinda embarassing.

the double standard for gaga is REAL.

I guess people just need to apply HIGHER STANDARD for the queen and apply low standards to the lessors

Her fans were the ones who always gave her a higher standard.

You do realize this 350k comes from the same sources as the 500k one, right? Neither of them is based on actual numbers, but rather wildly liberated guesses by the same people who projected 500k for Prism.

We are just waiting for the real predictions huh while we have this info to snack on along with the wild predictions. Predicable. My guess is about 350k-400k. Maybe more. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how all this plays out. If the album is selling like this and the album was made how Gaga wanted to see it as, the other things should not matter unless you guys wanted it to. Also do you guys work out to this album? We all know she does. I shall listen to this and exercise to it as well. Applause is not bad, but Do What U Want is amazing and I have some dark fantasies. Glad that Gaga & R.Kelly collabo on that.

except nobody predicted 500k for Prism stop trying to drag Katy into this mess.

[KoreanDream]

Her album is already discounted on Amazon for $5.99.

At least Katy sells singles.

[bobbymfw]

Hasn't every one of her promo singles this era been projected to sell a lot in the first few days of release and then the estimates start to collapse by the third or fourth day? I have a feeling this will taper off a bit later in the week based on the reception it's getting.
