More like both. Last time I checked her album debuted at number one (peak), and her album is remaining in the top 5 w/o a single hit (sales), and at this rate her sales will be catching up to other pop gerls.

As I said, ***** in both.

She is fulfilling both this era, and she doesn't need to shock and offend people in order to do so. Single Success aint the only thing that matters, and you being a Gaga stan should definitely know that. Now try again.

I was talking as of now.

Sure, she's having great longevity(impressive in my opinion, without a hit single). But she's sold 1 million only so far. When she sells 2.5-3 million WW at least, then I'll say she has both sales and peaks.

.

1. Cake, Showroom Of Compassion, 44,000. This new entry is the band's first top 10 album. The album sold 19,000 digital copies, which also puts it at #1 on the Digital Albums chart. "Sick Of You" enters Hot Digital Songs at #158..

This will remains my philosophy.

So you're placing more importance on first week sales? Because in the long run, that #1 album is selling just as well if not better as the one that debuted with 15K more.

So for you it's - 1st week sales > Overall sales > Peak ?

She didn't outsell Katy at all in the US. She sold about 1 million more than Katy worldwide though

Katy's Teenage Dream sales:
US - 1,650,000 (roughly)
WW - 3,800,000 (roughly)

Rihanna's Loud sales:
US - 1,430,000 (roughly)
WW - 5,000,000+ (roughly)

Katy has had much larger hits, way more promotion, and released her album 3 months earlier than Rihanna, yet she's just 200k above Rihanna, and more than 1 million behind internationally. Your argument is invalid.

But who sold more in the end?

Alicia has sold over 1.5 million in the US with two big flops and one R&B smash. Rihanna sold pretty much the same with 3 #1 singles.

What is this mess?
