FFS peaked at #4 too and sold around the same despite being released 2 years later.

Im not denying it did good, I was just saying that she messud up the era and had a false start. That doesn t mean she had no promo, thats all im saying

Well we just tell you that it's NOT more successful

thanks to the sales climate!

chart positions are indipendent of sales climate

do you even read your own messages? you were saying PROMOTION, which lasted indeed 3 months (in terms of performances etc)

[RickyH.]

So let me get two things straight here:

1. You're comparing ANTi to an album released over two years prior without one million copies handed out for free, alongside a 3.5 month lead single campaign and multiple promo singles with multiple major promo slots thrown in between.

2. So you're saying Artpop was in fact a flop? I thought all the monsters agreed it was a success and only the "pressed" members believed it was a flop? Hum.

Either way, ANTi is fast on it's way to scanning double platinum in the next few weeks, so I guess this is an irrelevant question!

And for those who try to bring up the 3 promo singles:

Promoting an album that didn't even have a name/release date? Really.
And those "3" songs aren't even on the album

can you even read? I said promoted herself AND the music. She was on like 6 magazine covers throughout the year had all her little puma stuff and all types of **** but she just couldn get on with releasing her album. She promoted for a year and then came out with the messiest release of the decade

Whew, the fumes that comes from the navy here
Talent + Artpop is the better album.
On top of that Gaga abandoned the Artpop era at the end of December 2013. Yet it sold more than Anti- an album whose 3rd single was released two weeks ago, right?
Bonus: Rihanna is not an album artist.But seeing her recent stats, she cant even sell singles nowadays

[Jan]

Because Artpop came out 3 years ago and ANTI 4 months ago. Moreover, ANTI was handed out for free to a million people and streaming wasn't that big back in 2013.

so what is even your point of arguing in favor of ARTPOP then? U were basically saying she did ANYTHING but to promote Anti and the release was the messiest ever?

and yet Anti will end up being a massive era compared to Artpop but keep ignoring that i guess..

Is it?
Anti sold 34K WW this week, 835,000 in total.
I would be surprised if she ends up doing more than 1.2M at this point

G.U.Y. video release: 27 March 2014

And oh, Rihanna, a non album seller, sold more albums than your fave and Gaga will never outsell her. Stay strong sis.

EDIT: Wait rn Rih can't even sell singles Not when she just came out of a 9 weeks #1 and she is #1 on iTunes WW right now

[Skywalker]

She's not as big of an artist to the general public, at least imho.

The monsters completely ignoring the decline of sales A bad awakening is upon them during the LG5 era.
