HITS never predicted 1 million copies first week for TD.

They were wondering TD would challenge Recovery sales because "Teenage Dream" was blowing up around that time, and "California Gurls" was just finishing its very successful run on the charts. They didn't write a long drawn-out prediction for it; it was only mentioned in one of those Rumor Mill articles with a bunch of radio-related things.

375k without a #1 sing to back it up?

Gaga wins 2013. Sorry other females!

This lie though. My fav remains unbothered by your favs 375k sales.

I'm obviously talking about female singers, since males have Justin, Wayne, Drake and of course 1D that all debuts with huge numbers.

Lmao, BTW only sold 600k in its first week. The other 500k came from Amazon selling it for 0.99$.

Lmao, from a 1.1 million to 400k. The 65% decline.

So Born This Way only sold 600k in it's first week but then you use 1.1 mil to calculate the % drop?

[RT Air]

Let the haters have their moment and have some solace after their faves flopped.

They'll all eat their words once ARTPOP comes out 'cause she gon' sell over 450k and you can BOOKMARK this.

The fact that ARTPOP might sell more than Prism first week is embarrassing for Katy.

Not really since Gaga is the album artist and she is more depending on first week sales because of her loyal fanbase than artists like Katy Perry and Rihanna who don't open with big numbers but have more longevity in the end.

These predictions are meaningless for now

Most people thought she was going to do 400-450k anyway so this isn't too far off.

But her stans said Applause's Stefani's biggest radio hit, and the song with most longevity out now. Huge fall from the last album.

[Paparazzaid]

She'll be around 400K or even 500K if DWUW does it right

If you want me to not be bothered (as if it's that easy to simply "chose" to not get bothered), then you can do the same by my posts. Generally, most of my posts are defensive or are from some sort of defense mechanism, which is natural considering how outnumbered we are.

I'm just saying, we both know that TD outsold BTW. The drops between album are unimportant what matters is their sales in the long run.

[Pecinta Mariah]

[atrlster]

So what's the general consensus? Are these numbers good or bad for ARTPOP?

[Rockyalen]

The hypocrisy lol...
When the question is about past biggest opening weeks: Noo, BTW sold 600k (lol), there was an Amazon deal.
When counting the % of the drop: 375000/1108000*100
At least be consistent, please.
